Signum. I have to deal with a lot of piss taking

I've corrected that for you, old boy 

Only piss taking because they are jealous.

[johnnydog]

Still have 3 Omegas - an 02 3.2 Elite saloon, an 03 3.2 Elite Estate, and an 03 2.6 Elite saloon, which I have had for years. My favourite Omega however was an 51 reg Nocturno Blue 3.2 Elite saloon, which I now regret selling, but heyho.....
Also got 3 3.2 Elites as scrappers, which is a useful source for spares.
For fun, I've  got a 2015 Audi RS4 Avant, which I've had since 3 months old which is a tremendous and exhilarating vehicle to drive, but also a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Premium SE auto which again, is a great vehicle to drive for comfort and lugging stuff around with my trailer. The boss has a 2017 Honda CRV EX 1.6 diesel auto, which she loves, and in fairness, is another car I wouldn't knock.
I also have a several Triumph 2000's, 2.5 PIs and S models to keep me busy....
I like them all, each for different reasons - if I didn't, I'd sell them and get something else...!

I bought a Mercedes E class 350Cdi Estate to replace the Elite Estate I used to have, really love it, i'd buy another if i need to replace it. I've also got a 1990 Porsche 928 which keeps me poor..

Has always been my desirable Porsche totally unattainable over 30 years ago but I bought mine when prices were low 9 years ago. Not cheap to run around 15 mpg on E5 petrol, 911 owners tend to look down their noses at them, it does get used but probably not enough. It goes to LeMans Classic (but not this year) every other year, I do quite a few car shows with it, the 5Lt V8 sounds lovely..

NA so I'm guessing 300-350 ponies.

My NA 4.2 V8 Audi sounds 'lurrvly', especially when giving it some beans , or passing a high wall or in a tunnel. Not like these artificial 'piped' exhaust notes....
My 3.0 V8 Triumph Stag (long gone :'( ) sounded tremendous too.
It does bring out the youth in you, but puts a smile on your face too

Still got my two 2.5 Elites. Both on SORN at the moment but not driving that much nowadays other than going to the local tip using the wife's car.

Also working on my 2000 Jaguar S type which is rotting on my drive. I dismantled it a few years ago. It was going to be a quick repair!

Spend more time in the garage and loft looking for the carefully stored and labelled boxes of Jag parts that I removed several years ago.  !!!!

Down to one Omega MV6 now. And just bought a 160k mile Disco4 for towing duties. I never thought I'd ever buy a JLR product, but now my son is about to bring a V8 Disco 2 into the family, so all the tools will soon be out again no doubt... I was hoping to cash in on the apparent boom in van prices by getting rid of the VW T5.1, but evidently I seem to have either overpriced it or missed the boat, as, after a week on Autotrader I have had zero calls. Not even of the "what's the lowest price you'll take mate init?" type either.  At this rate I'll have no where to put them all!

Around 320, there has been a couple of bolt on supercharger kits from the States for around $9K but mainly for LHD and not really suitable for RHD

Miss my 71 Dodge Challenger 340cui small block v8, with a bit of light tuning it made about 360hp . 14sec 1/4 miles , dont miss the 16mpg !! Cant wait to hear what the 3.0 Omega lump sounds like on the straight through silencers and cross pipe .

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Ive driven one with no exhausts after the cats. It sounded lovely.

I've driven my 2.6 a few yards without cats or exhaust (after my cats got nicked ), sounded loud and expensive 

[Marks DTM Calib]

Daily driver is a Range Rover Sport 3.0 diesel, wifey has an iPace, son an Evoque and there is a V6 F-type for the toy

[Keith ABS]

 Had a Monza GSE after the Omega but just for weekends. That has now been replaced by a Monaro, the little engined one. Daily is either my Vivaro bus or SWMBO,s SAAB 9-5 estate
