It's an Omega 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Hopped on to see how the forum is going. Good to see it’s still active. 

Sold the CLS a few days ago, Picked up its replacement yesterday.

Just dying in the heat mostly these past few days. But looks like it’s gonna rain this evening

And? ....

I like it so far

It's an Omega 

It’s a 2019 C43 facelift estate in black.

Unfortunately the Omega days are over, i rather have fond memories of them rather than deal with the state most will be in at this point.

That should be pretty potent.

The CLS was a 5.5 V8 NA with 388bhp and the C43 has 385bhp but is lighter and has 4matic. The C43 is a lot easier to handle and actually use in the twisty road’s though. The CLS was a bit of a barge but that V8 sound made up for it the £695 a year TAX was pain though.

I owned a 2006 CLS500.

My car had a 5 litre V8 in a pretty low state of tune with just 302BHP. Plenty of torque though.

The 383bhp lump is a 32v jobbie with an extra 500cc and variable valve timing

The M113 lump in yours was only 24v without the VVT. Hence the power difference

Drove it to north London. Took forever, due to everyone crashing and causing queues.

From there, drove it to Guildford. Took forever, due to everyone crashing and causing queues.

Then drove it home. Took forever, due to everyone crashing and causing queues.

WTF is wrong with people?  I accept when the lockdown restrictions eased, people had forgotten how to drive, but that was ages ago now.  Fikcing mogrels, the lot of them 

Must have spent about 7.5hrs in the car yesterday, doing less than 200 miles, virtually all motorway apart from north circ and A3, both of which are dualled.

I blame brexit.

Pink-ish doors on the red Astra seem to be coming up quite nicely with this:

Only done the top of one door down to the crease, but it certainly looks a helluva lot better.

Are you looking to sell it privately Ste, or tarting it up for WBAC?

Not thinking of selling right now, Jim. It's the wife's old car, she got the grandland. Just thought I'd have a go at de-pinking the front doors.

Leave it as it is mate. It is pride week after all.

               Just do the tops Stemo, less work and looks a nice two tone👍

If its like the 1980s red that fades, all products that bring it back to red from that white-ish colour it goes are temporary.
