The end of an era!
« on: 11 September 2007, 17:03:59 »
Right chaps and end of an era is upon me! :-[ :'( :-X

The Omega is going on Thursday, and I’m picking up a heavy oil burner, because I need something that will get more than 26 mile to the gallon.

Don’t get me wrong, I have enjoyed every last minute of Omega ownership, especially the current Elite, but she has now got to the stage where she needs a fair amount of T.L.C. to keep her roadworthy. As I am not very mechanically sound she has had to go and I have taken the opportunity to purchase something a bit easier on the wallet at the pumps.

You guys have made this the best forum I have ever experienced on this crazy int-web thingy, and although I have not be a regular contributor for a while, and will not longer be an Omega  owner, I will be lurking every now and again, and maybe even chipping in.

Good luck to one and all of you, because you are what make this place! :y  :y  :y

Sorry to hear you're parting with your Miggy, but I know what you mean - they aren't the cheapest of cars to run and maintain (you're lucky you get 26mpg!!) Hope you get yourself something decent and you can still pop in here from time to time for a quick hello. Good luck mate :y :y

All the best with your new purchase, Ross.  I hope that you don't have to Fix Or Repair Daily like some Mondaneo's that I'm aware of....   ;D

Most importantly, don't be a stranger.  Feel free to visit and keep the Jock numbers up.   :y
