If the old boy has any sense he'll invest in a Signum.

With the rear seats folded flat there is plenty of room for the whippet. :)

It would be a rare moment of clarity. :)

He buys cars are the same rate normal people buy milk and bread. :)

I can recommend the Volvo V70.  :y

It's a comfy old barge with acres of space with the back seats up or down and the D5 motor has plenty of grunt.  :)

If the V70 is too big for your needs then the V60 would be worth a look.  :y

Even the 161hp D3 V70 has enough grunt for me and is pretty good on economy. But care needed there is also a 134hp D3 which probably has less ooomph.

Hmmm....since 2013.

I think I still had my last Omega in 2013. A 2.6 MV6

In 2015 I bought the mighty Signum.

In 2016 I bought my first Jaguar XFR.
In 2017 My second Jaguar XFR

In 2023 I bought a new BMW M240i  X-Drive.

So 5 in total, I think.

Frugal with cars, you see. :)

Oh yeah...I forgot that one, a 2006 Mercedes CLS 500. Double banana shape car.

The air suspension went tits up which cost a fortune to repair. Looked good but not a patch on my previous Jaaaaaaggggs. :)

I had my Daewoo in 2013, swapped it for the snot green Astra in 2017, swapped that for my Astra diesel estate in 2018, and inherited wife's Astra earlier this year.
So 4  :P

What about the Vauxhall gangbang you purchased about a week and a half ago?

You've had more than 4 or 5 in the last decade. :)

I have been looking for an estate as well. ::)

Tried for years to find a low mile 1 ownder 2003 Elite Estate - rocking horse poop would be earier to find. :-\

I keep searching :y

You won't find one and if you do it'll need more welding, servicing and repairs to get it on the road than is viable. The newest Omega is 20 years old and i'm sorry to say, but it's time to look at other newer cars.
