Funny you should say that, I filled the tank this afternoon. had 40 miles left according to the computer and it took over £80 to fill it.
Oh for the days of 50p a gallon.

Only got one lesser car now. The little C1, which I use for commuting and general running around.
Hence the Omega only covers about 3000 miles per year.
Wouldnt want to wear the old girl out.

mine is 74 hc.had it since 1990 .its holding up pretty well as you say they used to rust for fun back in the day .mine is still on its original (untouched)inner wings,sills and front wings and valance so i must be doing something right over the years !!

I used to build the rear axle for them in Ellesmere Port. That was a veeeeeery long time ago 

That explains a lot. Axle on mine was a noisy little bugger.

My first car was a 1970 Viva. It was 8 years old when my Dad bought it for me for £70, in the vain hope it would keep me away from motorbikes.
It had rust holes in the wings when I got it and the floor was a bit crusty too.
I think I went through two gearboxes and three or four clutches in a year, so could change a clutch in an hour by the end of it.
Thrashed it mercilessly - zero mechanical sympathy after Japanese two strokes - and finished it off in a banger race.
Old man wasnt too happy with me. He thought it would last me for years.

The corpse was pulled from the contest and replaced with a rampant socialist.

Cut the rust out and welded new metal in during the summer, so that shouldnt be an issue for a while.

Clean pass, no advisories. Not bad for 202000 miles and 23 years old.

He is a Narcissist. They have to make everything about themselves.
They dont even know they do it because they have little if any self awareness.

Love it so much, I have never set foot in the sh1thole and never will. 

Err, so why do you think it's so shit, if you've never been?  Simply based on the fact they often vote in some socialists?

I have met and worked with several and they were all "tuesdays".
My vile hateful sister lives there and tells them she is Irish as quite a lot of them arent keen on Brits, despite the fact many thousands of British soldiers lie under French soil after giving their lives to protect them, because apparently they cant do that for themselves.
The French state is and always has been anti British. They give us a kicking at every possible opportunity.

Proof if ever it was needed that no one involved in the Labour party should ever be allowed to deal with public money.
Its either mind boggling incompetence or just good old fashioned corruption.
My money is on corruption, and the Police is now investigating.
