See now i love the comfort of my scorpio but it has such a crap autobox but it needs a new one now because it slipping when cold

I have driven a couple of Granadas and the auto boxes are total pants - nowhere near as good as the AR25/AR35

As some of you may know, my other car is a MK3 Cavalier - one of the lasy being a 1995 model.  It is a 2.0 16V CDX and I have owned it for 9 years.  Everything still works AC included!  The Omega was meant to be a replacement, but I did not have the heart to sell it.

I have driven a couple one straight after a Carlton delivery and I hated it - I much prefered the Carlton. I ended up buying one quite a few years later.

The other was a loan car while the first Omega was in for repair, knackered was a fair description

Classic what ? I had a K plate 240 est as a company car and it was bloody awful

Morris Minor is a classic - ever been in one - terrible cars

I occasionally drive my old mans Mazda Demio & I can’t stand it.
It’s V reg & only done 6100, but it’s gutless & there’s no room & I try to avoid it whenever I can!

First and by far the best is the Omega then we have an Audi 80 2.8 Quattro which is quite rare in pearl white and very quick and up for sale then the Audi replacement, a Rover 25 Diesel which we run on a diesel/vegetable mix. This is the first diesel we have owned and I am suprised just how quick it is, then we have a 1973 Alfa Romeo Spider which is a Kamm Tail and which I have been meaning to restore for the last 6 years but never got round too and this will be sold soon as well.

My other half has a JDM Impreza STi that I drive on a regular basis, bloody rocket!

[peter2ltr]

I drive my wife's renault SCENIC sometimes,(usually when it needs petrol) Great for carrying things that won't go in the boot of the Omega. Absolutley terrible on the motorway, it handles like a JELLY on a paper plate.

Apart from my 2 Omegas i sometimes drive my Dads Land Rover Disco, usually when i'm borrowing the mini-digger. 3.9ltrs of V8 pulls nearly 3t of trailer and digger without any problems, apart from the 15mpg!!!

Occasionally i drive my sisters Seat Ibiza, its now 10 years old and has under 32000 miles on the clock, shes had it from new, when it was MOTd in August it had done less than 1000 miles between MOTs!!!

Also drive my Mums 2ltr Mazda 6 estate, nice comforable fairly quick for a 2ltr but apart from that nothing out of the ordinary


*edited to add*

Sorry but V8 beats the Omega, not because of the driving experience, purely on sound and sitting still blipping the throttle and seeing the whole vehicle move  

Now if only i could nick the engine
