Title: Should I treat myself to another Omega?
Post by: PAULCDX on 03 November 2013, 13:03:15
Hi all,

After six long years of credit problems, swopping and changing cars all the time and sometimes just settling for anything I feel I should now treat myself to an Omega I'm going to actually want  ::)

I've finally got some form a credit and a phone contract following a huge bankruptcy in 2007  :o

I still love Omega's and always will. I now need to get a keeper I think  :y

Got my heart set on a V6 CDX, MV6 or Elite this time round, probably 52 plate or newer..................... Let the search begin  :D  :y

Thanks, it's been a very difficult 6 years after losing everything and not being able to have anything but guess I shouldn't have got myself into that mess in the first place.............  >:(

Not long got my 1st mobile phone contract and bank account in 6 years  ;D

Good luck with the hunt mate  :)

Exited my bankruptcy 18 months ago and now don't owe a penny to anybody.
Sorted a bank account out the week before I pulled the plug and left it empty so I had no problems on that front.
Mobile contract was paid out of our lasses account but still in my name  ;)

Just to round it off, the receiver got a grand total of sweet f**k all  :D :D :D

Cash only nowadays and forever more  ;)

I lost my job in the Police Force due to my stupidity and bankruptcy 6 years ago, I live with regret most days when I think about it  >:(  :'(

Things are slowly getting back to normal as I've said but I never want to return to those dark days of the last few years..........

A nice new Omega should make me happy again  :D  ;D  :y

I guess there are worse things to be remembered for than an intelligent onanist who lived in a cave....  :-\

Post by: 05omegav6 on 04 November 2013, 11:36:36
Being intelligent and living in a cave makes you a bit eccentric, not an onanist ::)

And you're quite right, there are worst things to be remembered for :y
