After 8 years with the current 3.2 Omega, which this year will be 19 years old, I am still keeping it going.  Hopefully it will see me out of my driving years unless the nice government offer me a lovely electric car with the same comfort levels, but at a drastically discounted price - well a straight swap will do!! ;D ;D

Welcome back anyway to you down under! :-* :y

Welcome back, hoping you're keeping safe and well.

My last Omega went to be spares for another ex-member, though as far as I know, it would still run.

So currently saddled with an XJ diesel and the Mobile Storage unit (aka, clapped out Zafira) I bought when my garage blew up - the damn thing refuses to die.

I have a knackered Mondeo 2.2 TDCi Titanium X and a knackered Volvo V70 D5.  :-\

I should get rid of both and just have one car, but I don't know what to get....  ::)

Good to hear from you all and thank you for the warm Welcome Back.

There is an interesting array of cars we all drive now, i guess we were lucky in Oz to have the VE/VF replacement for the old shaped Omega/Commodore and a real shame they didn't send more to the UK, i guess being all v6 and v8 the market was limited over there 🙄 I'll try and dig some photos out of the ones i have had since i have been here and post them up if anyone would be interested in seeing them

In answer to how is Australia, bloody awesome mate! WA is definitely the best postcode in the world IMHO, not to everyone's taste as i discovered but it is home for me, yes it does get a bit hot at times, 44 on Christmas day this year was a tad warm but the pool helped cool off, yes there are a million different creatures that can and want to kill you but you learn to live with that  ::) Yes its a bloody big place and nothing really prepares you for the vastness and then there is the language barrier, how we can be divided by the common language, imagine my horror the first time i went to a mates house and was told they had a party last night and to excuse the thongs scattered about the place, i thought what the hell, thongs are something you wear on your feel over here  ::)

Anyway, i look forward to chatting some more and catching up with a few old names in the coming weeks, it's good to be back  :y

a real shame they didn't send more to the UK
Although the ones they did send over weren't suitable, from an anti corrosion perspective, for northern european winters, so many have rotted away.

Thats what put me off later Monaros and early VXR8s back in the day when I quite fancied one - it would have made it a summer car only.

I am down to one Omega (3.2 MV6) at the moment, but only as an occasional car, I have VW Van for daily work duties.
