Though its probably not as bad as it sounds, as due to the fustercluck going on with Centos Enterprise Linux going forward, we need to rebuild the platform from scratch anyway sometime in the next few months. Probably.
If you need any help or advice, just shout.
First the MAX, now this. Seems like Boeing is having more trouble keeping 'em up than half the members on here.
...........and in this case, Rolls Royce if these planes are equipped with them? - DG ?
Ah, forget that!! Just found out that these airliners are powered by Pratt & Whitney engines....American crap, so what do they expect!!
I don't think anyone can say the V6 Omega was a 'quick' car..... but what it did have was effortless power. I've only ever had Auto's (which is the best transmission choice for any lazy car) and the 'lazy' power was utterly brilliant. A steady cruise at 70, give the pedal a small nudge and you'd be doing 90 in no time at all.....
I can't see the various Poice Forces contining to use them for as long as they did if they weren't 'quick' or were classed as a 'slouch'. Most Forces I understand, loved them. But feedback from the Officers using them would have resulted in their earlier withdrawal from service if they weren't classed as reliable, powerful or quick enough for the job.
Depends what you are comparing them to....
) and you wouldn't even think you were doing 120MPH.Not to mention engine fumes then potentially being drawn into the cabin. Not great unless carbon monoxide poisoning is your thang
nice little earner for farmers with empty fields i recon
The Desmond saloon is just shy of 1,600 kgs
A 2.0 8v with a slush box would make Joe Biden seem spritely
Press on the buttons, and water squirts out, so guessing water has managed to get under the paint?
This is, obviously, the first time I noticed it, but it has been mostly raining all week. Would the -12C from the week before helped it along its way?
Getting back on topic.......
Chris only asked for a bit of informed advice about buying an Omega and I think a good few have done a pretty good job of putting him right off! - probably not wholly intentional, but nevertheless had a good try!
I have owned several Omegas since 2004 and currently own 3 Elites - whilst I do 99% of the work on them myself, owning one isn't quite as much doom and gloom as has been portrayed. Yes, old cars need more tlc than your moden cars (say upto 3 years old that have usually only had one service), but a certain degree of work other than general servicing is likely with the majority of even 7 year old plus cars, irrespective of make. Some Omega parts are becoming harder to find, but not impossible - again the Omega isn't on its own in this respect....
If you are fortunate to find a respectable Omega, I would definitely recommend going for it - you won't regret it irrespective of what has been said by a few.....
You will get a lot of useful advice on here, as long as you ignore the minority, and search the minefield of useful information available here.
Most people are friendly - honest!
No a mate had one & was very dissatisfied with it, I saw one a few months back in the Caravan & Motorhome club mag based on a Ford Transit very nice layout & with everything I'd want as the driver auto, cruise reversing cameras etc started I think at £68,000 had a very good report , but would have to see it & try it but ultimately it will be up to SWMBO will have a good look once restrictions are lifted , never had a good look at one really may decide against it & just get a new tin tent , certainly not going to rush into a purchase the way things are with travelling at present.
