I quite enjoy it when a girl takes control.
If I were stupid enough to go for a spin with you, it would end up in a fatality. I'd definitely have a heart attack.625bhp, rwd on damp roads. What could possibly go wrong?
It does come with 4 driven wheels.
The second Jagaur XFR I owned had around 600 BHP after Viezu had a play. And rear drive only.
It did shit me up in the wet though.
You should go for spin with Rae in his Evo then! I'm a shadow of my former self....
Why the hell do manufacturers put puny engines into bigger and bigger cars? Ford stick a 1 litre engine in a Mundano for gods sake.
It's a heavy car, with 128bhp, what can I say ?
We're up in N Yorkshire for a week away. I decided to take the wife's grandland because we can fit everything, including doggie, in one car. Coming back from Pickering towards Kirkbymoorside on the A170, 60mph limit, some old bastard pulled out about 200 yds in front of me in a Chinese MG and decided 40mph was plenty. There was plenty of room (thank fùck) so put my foot down and pulled out. Auto box dropped from 7th to 6th and off we went. Nothing, eff all. I was waiting for the kick I get from my 1.6 astra but it never came. We got past quite easily but I'm glad I did that on a clear road with nothing coming in the opposite direction. I might have come cropper with less time to overtake.
1.5 diesel in a big car......no.
At 40 MPH it should kickdown to 2nd or 3rd.
Does it have a sport mode for more response?

Sounds like a fun day ahead 👍

I rolled a 600cc Regal saloon.....and a 700cc Regal Supervan.

I find the most concerning thing about this thread is that Opti had not one, but two plastic pigs.

Speaking of hot cross buns at Easter......if you like your buns nicely browned here is some you might like taking a bite of.
Blimey I got a semi watching that!
That is quite impressive for a man your age.
It is M'lud! I didn't expect that reaction from big wobbly bottoms like those!
I went 2 years ago and inadvertently ended up with the omega being in the show 🤣
Just to clarify that… the main concourse is cars from ‘69 (I think) to 1999. So my 2000 omega sadly doesn’t qualify for this. The concourse is in the courtyard and there are some serious contenders. Every other car is on the big lawn and is still the show cars… just not judged.
There was one other omega and I parked near it. (Green 2.2 from memory)
I only stumbled across this show by accident but it was so good it’s my main show to go to. Especially with how bad Vaux fest was the last time I went.
Oh and it’s £35 per car I believe 😃
