The only conditions are that the car must be available and reasonable in price ie affordable for mere mortals, not Mrs Opti prices ::)
So to set the ball rolling...

Nor is the Omega apparently ::) bloody good value though :y

From the OOF pictures that I've seen, Mr TB is a decidedly portly man.....( Please note that I did not use the word fat) ::) ::) ::)
Therefore he needs a spacious car.
How about a Honda Leg-end?
They are well built, reliable, and older examples can be picked up for Omega type money. :y

He'd have to put on a bit of weight and recede his hair line a little to be accepted into the scooby-driving clan, though. ;)
EDIT: .. and get some old Iron Maiden teashirts.

Moi? ;D Their quick enough for MK roundabout sprints, but not so fast as to get into serious trouble on a motorway, more than ten minutes at 90 would be deafening, certainly not the waftability of a proper cruiser :-\

How long would that stay on the road with TB at the wheel ;D ;D ;D

He'd be fine in one of those :y they're actually quite docile beasties :y
Besides, if he survives the first stupid thing, then it ought to be enough of a brown trouser event to calm him down for a decade ::) only 2 doors though :-\

On of my bro's had one of them, I still remember the reg. What a crock of shite. He sold it a few months later, as the repair and servicing bills were running at £400 a month (this was in the mid 1980s, and the car was 2 or 3 years old)

I have fond memories of all four of mine, including two absolute dogs, but looking at the interior pics they haven't half dated :o
Still, rear wheel drive, no ABS, bomb proof gearbox, and built like a tank. Not forgetting electric heated front seats and aircon either 8)

Close on ten grand for something so ugly, and almost ten years old, too.. :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D

Worth a heck of lot more once though ::)
Omega cost me £2.5k when it was 5 years old, cost around what £23k ish new?
BuMW, around £9k for that example. New Price, £60k?
About right.....
