Title: Been away, had to come back.
Post by: Badger on 12 December 2012, 21:49:46

Hi all, not visited here for a long, long time!  My beloved old Omega was wriiten off (by my dad!) a few weeks ago, I miss it dearly   :'(  After having a bit of bother with the car just after I purchased it, it setled down and gave me nearly 40,000 miles of totally trouble free service, 100% reliability, not even a bulb went, fantastic  :y   I bought a cheap Vectra to run about in while I found myself another Miggy and I hated it so much I kept it 3 days and got shut, what an awful car they are!   Now running about in a 2.5 V6 Ford Cougar and it's terrible, I don't think it has any suspension, the worst riding car I have ever driven......it's got to go!   So I'm now on the prowl looking for another Miggy, a proper car!   Please tell me there are some decent Omegas left, I've been to view a few and they have all had issues, I will keep looking, there must be a nice one out there somewhere.

Thanks, I have popped in a couple of times, but doesn't seem to be many for sale at the moment. Plenty on Evilbay but the ones i have viewed have been mis-described sheds.

I know what you mean about flea bay..at least the guys on here are a genuine helpful lot so far less chance of getting ripped off if one becomes available  :y

Welcome back mate.  Might be worth composing a 'Wanted Ad' in the test zone with the spec, age, model and what your budget is.  Then ask an admin to move it to the correct section.   :y

Thanks chaps!  I would compose a wanted add, but tbh I'm not really after a specific model. I just want a tidy facelift . preferably CDX spec or higher, would take a 4 pot or a six pot motor, manual or automatic, buget up to 1500 quid and not too far away if possible.  Not much to ask is it ?  ;D

Welcome back to the forum. I've got a Cougar aswell, actually quite like mine, but I do know what you mean about the harsh ride; It's definitely not in the same league as an Omega for comfort...
