Post by: Omega_Dan on 15 March 2012, 21:16:13
Just sold my car. Its being exported to poland. Very nice chaps who bought it. Got £950 so am sort of happy with the price but was the best car i had ever had.

It is a lovely car and a credit to you Dan but £950 can't be sniffed at :y

lack of work and rising fuel costs. Tax was due so was just decided to get rid reluctantly ;)

I know that feeling.

I don't normally get attached to cars, but when the Tractor drove off for a new life in Lincolnshire, the drive just didn't look right. Same when the Rover never came home  :'(

IIRC, TheDaddy flogged his Vectra GSi to some people who flew over, then drove back to Poland.

I've had many Omegas over the years but there's only 2 that I miss, my Irmscher kitted mini facelift manual 3.0 Elite Estate and my facelift 2.5 manual Tractor. I loved the two of them :'(

Omega wise, I loved the tractor, but cant say why. Just did.  I love the Silver Bullet, had it 8 or 9 years now ;D.  TBE is slowly growing on me - Mrs TB and I were out in it the other day commenting that it was an easy, effortless car to drive with a nice ride...

'Cause your running an 1.7 tonne Omega Elite with all the toys for Astra fuel costs and you can thrash the thing all day long without caring!

One other thing I like is that i'm not precious about my DTi, if someone opens a door against it in a car park then so be it, whereas i'd be mortified if someone damaged the 3.2
