Title: I have two AA vans on my drive.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 24 January 2015, 12:44:38
They are fitting my new screen.

There is a small amount of surface rust showing now that the old screen has been removed.

Shouldn't be a problem...so I'm told. :y

It almost wipes off. For a twelve year old car I'm impressed with the overall condition. :y

Still waiting for the pictures of your new Frontera, Mr Emd.

Does it use the 3.2 litre V6 from the Omega?

If we didn't have to change the oil and all the other bits that need it on an Omega, what would I do with all my time, it's a kind of hobby. ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

German cars are as you might expect. Germanic.

I think it's hard to get excited by Kraut metal.

Thorough and well engineered yes.....but most are without soul or passion.


A bit like German lovers really. :D ;)
