Title: I thnk it's time to find a new home for one of my Omega's :(
Post by: VXL V6 on 09 April 2024, 15:51:56
Hoping to move house at some point this year and parking four cars just isn't going to be feasible. I also know that the Silver Omega just doesn't get used and is really an ornament. Plan is to pop it in for an MOT then take the 6 pot brakes off it and return to standard setup along with the standard wheels and steering wheel, grill etc.

Once I get around to sorting that out i'll advertise it on here first, not that I think anyone would want to pay what I want for it. :(

I've had this car 15 Years, can't believe it!

Selling the family silver omega  :o

I had 3 Carltons once , turns out you can only drive one car at a time  :o
so having a spare spare spare car is probably overkill  ;D
unless they're FORDS or French  :P

Yes, but... the more cars you have, each time you drive a different one, it's like the buzz of the initial drive of a 'new (to you)' car  :y
Never can have too many cars.... :D

Recently went down from two cars in the house to just one. A second car just doesn't get used. I need to reinvent myself as some kind of boy racer  ::)

How about a Sports car? Just use at weekends and sunny days ie three times a year.

I remember years ago being at a tourist spot with good views down to Monselldale ( something like that) the place was packed. Then there was a roar as a two seater Audi TT “ roared up the hill to park. Everyone looked. It was the finance manager and his dolly bird for the company I worked at……… Go on.

A mate in Norn Irn was recently asking me if I knew of a nice V6 Omega for sale. Must be silver because the RUC ones were Silver and him being a retired member, is a bit sentimental about them in silver.
If you could let me know when it comes up for sale, I will mention it to him.
Cheers.  :y
