General Car Chat / Re: Did this belong to anyone on here?

« on: Yesterday at 18:39:48 »

A bloke came over to me in Tescos car park last week to talk about my Omega, which is getting pretty common these days.
He reckoned it was easily worth a couple of grand.
I have no idea, and have no plans to ever sell it, so it doesnt really matter to me.

Probably worth a lot more if it was still a Datsun 240z.

. There have been some very amusing threads over the years. Also quite a few names that faded away. Either moved to a different marque or actually faded away……Desperate Den.

Yeah its a shame most of the old stalwarts arent on here these days.
I miss Loo knees unique brand of mayhem and hilarity too.
Im still in contact with him, although he is a much more subdued character these days.

In my original Albitz incarnation I think I joined less than a year after OOF began.
Could be wrong though, it was a long time ago.

Yes it is worth its weight in gold, even after all these years.
I blow the dust off mine periodically to refresh my memory before doing the job.
Which reminds me. mine is about 6 months overdue, although about 25k short on mileage.
It also reminds me, isnt OOF 20 years old sometime soon ?

In a perfect world, freight would travel by rail and trucks banished from the roads, other than smaller trucks to do local runs from train stations to delivery depots.
People who cant pass a test to prove they are capable of driving to a reasonably high standard forced to take trains and taxis because they are banned from the roads.
Then, nice clear roads with high standards of driving, and no motorway speed limits for the rest of us.
We can but dream. 

Exactly what I experienced driving through Germany on Sunday, in fact.

And people tell us, we won the war.

Tyre blow out my arse ! 
Looking at the pile of crumpled burnt metal that used to be a Lamborghini - how the hell could they tell a tyre had blown out ?
I just hope the poor sods wernt trapped inside and concious while it was burning

I think there are one or two being dismantled on ebay ?
Spares are getting more and more difficult to get hold of now unfortunately.
I wish I had kept half the stuff I binned or sold.
