Hi everyone,just like to introduce myself....My name's Roger (hence name rogerreno!!) and this is my 1st go at ownership of a Vauxhall...in fact my 1st go at anything non-French!!!
Had a VERY bad experience with a 51 plate Renault Espace 2.2Dci and after emptying my wallet quicker than the Mrs does it had to go
Shame really coz both me and the Mrs loved the car to bits,as did the kids (got 3 kids so plenty of room with no fighting over seats!!) but in the end it just let us down one too many times
SO....after a short conversation with my dad he kindly offered me his Champagne Silver '99 T reg Omega 2.5TD Elite auto for a resonable price as it was surplus to requirements.
Its done 142k with FVSH and he's owned it from 3 years old,so its well established in the family!!
I will hopefully be taking delivery in the next week or 2 (coz he's waiting for his new company car) and to be honest i'm really looking forward to getting it, although Sarah (my better half) is still a bit unsure coz she's never really driven an auto.
Its a fairly relaxed move compared to what else is in the garage....
Our toys (that we show) comprise of my Factory standard looking Silver 1987 Ph1 Renault 5 GT Turbo with a homebuilt 200bhp engine under the bonnet.
My 1988 Black Standard looking Renault 21 Turbo (currently in process of building race spec engine with power circa 350bhp
)
And last but not least,Sarahs 1991 Renault 21 Turbo with full Evo kit and subtle flip paintjob,17's and a homebuilt and developed 250bhp motor.
Daily runaround is a 2000 X plate Saxo VTR....Told you I was into French cars!!!!
I spent a good deal of time going through the various boards on here last night and was genuinly taken back at the friendly helpfull nature of people on here....specially the 22 page thread about head replacement on the V6!!! It was more gripping than Corrie!!
Roll on Omega ownership....I've told him the overall price will be reflected in the excess miles he does in it before he hands it over, seem to remember his reply ended in **** OFF!!!!
Said to him I can see a Facelift 3.2 V6 Elite on the horizon......... 8-)
But for now i'll take what i'm offered!!!
Cheers all
Roj
