This has to be one of the last.
Never seen an 05, but Josh has, would love to see an 05.
No wonder he is asking for so much eh.

Yes, it's unlike me to be so overtly judgemental however I needed a car in a hurry, the 3.2 estate I had been looking at wasn't going to be available in time so I had to take the car I have presently.

Having been used to larger engines in the past I miss the extra power - especially in a car the size of the Omega.

In addition, I don't use it that much - I only did about 1400 miles last year.

We know!  :y We were just commenting on how it was a shame to have wasted what could have been a 3.2 Elite by putting a 4 pot motor in it!   ::)  ::)  ::)  :y  :y  :y  :y

Some days I would agree, others I would not....

My 2.2 is patchy-some days it flies and is really responsive, other days it is an unresponsive heavy slug.

On the good days, I don't want a 3.2, on the bad days I do...

Wonder if all 2.2s are the same?  Wonder what a really good 2.2 would feel like compared to a sad 3.2?   :-? :-?
