My CD had light rust on the front chassis rails, crossmember and spots on the left sill a couple of years ago, thankfully I was able to get the rust off and have the underneath reseated before the damage was too extreme.
She’s a keeper

For those who haven’t been the show included the carpark too, Cavalier and Vectra GSI’s VXR8’s mkII Astras and a host of other well loved Vauxhall’s, including some Omega's and the BTCC Vectra from 2009.
A great day and well worth a revisit as some of the cars were clearly on loan and the first time I’ve shown the CD.

I had a new screen in my omega, thing is having booked it in and everything I was slightly irritable when I was told it would be an extra £25 for a fitting kit??
It’s fair to say I got it done elsewhere for £75

It’s a few years since my last “new” car but all I got last time was a years subscription to VM!
So to get a follow up call from the dealer followed a couple of months later by two surveys was a bit of a surprise.

I don’t suppose VX will be bothered that the Bridgestones are moody though!

I have just bought a new Vauxhall as a daily drive so the Omega can enjoy a partial retirement and enjoy the odd show here and there.

After a couple of months VX have sent me a questionnaire regarding my opinion of my new car, it’s performance, comfort, style and build quality.

I’ve had many Vauxhall’s over the years and don’t recall this level of interest in the past?
I also understand the Onstar service is  just over £8.00 a month once the free trial is up, not bad considering how much they can do, but I’m sure anyone here who remembers the 2015 satnav unit had an SOS option that was free?

As we seem to be on memory lane, talking about Carlton and senators, Vauxhall has revived the GSi badge on the new insignia and I’ve already seen my first and like the Carlton they look really smart in grey !

I’ve been a fan of Vauxhall since secondary school and lucy enough to own my omega since 2007 when I took over her care from my Dad.
After many years loyal service I’m pleased to report she enjoys semi-retirement coming out on rare sunny days.

I was surfing the inter web looking at Senators and Carlton and the prices they are starting to command and got to thinking how many Omegas were left out there.
After a short while I came up with the figures below as a rough guide from 2016.

13160 taxes
3123   sorn

3631    Scrapped every year on average.
.
Estimated total Omegas taxed in 2018

5898

I take it dealers who loose the VX franchise will become VX specialists?

I’m not sure if my spare is 15” but I’ll have a look once the car is back from its service

After 1999 the broacher shows CDs on Michelin but the spare on mine is Dunlop and they hold the road well 😀

General Car Chat / Onstar
« on: 18 March 2018, 21:29:31 »
I recently tried onstar and it’s been really good for navigating and remote diagnostics etc, so today I asked for a traffic update thinking that the navigation system can warn you of traffic holdups etc so it shouldn’t be a problem.
I was surprised onstar can’t  do that as they don’t want to mislead customers, have they heard a  local radio travel report and what happened to traffic master?

If I understand correctly the vignale customers get the cars washed every visit, there own vip area in the dealership and a 24/7 assistant.
Apart from that the cars only come in a select few colours!
It sounds like ford trying to do onstar and at a premium, didn’t all car dealers wash and vac cars they had for service once?
I don’t remember that costing an extra £2,000
