Title: 3.2 V6 and gold dust
Post by: SP_3.2 on 23 February 2015, 15:32:54
Hi All

Its been some time since I have been on, hope all is good

I still keep popping in time to time even with me no longer having my beloved 3.2 Elite..i miss the old girl

They seem to be super rare to find now day, not may around in the  usual places

Has the value gone up with them coming hard to find?

I have moved over to and Audi a8 d3 4.2 but I do miss the Elite and also the forum chit chat from here.   

if you thought that the 3.2 was
hungry on fuel you should try the 4.2  ::) ::). and that's with me driving as if I was driving Miss Daisy ;D ;D

Be a fair trade when the A8 needs a suspension overhaul... if you thought Omega suspension was fussy ::)

yep it was and still going strong . I think that the only thing with it was that it had a small rad leak.

I think that the 3k oil and filter changes where a big help in keeping it running so well , And all the help from the OOF crew.
.....I remember one of the 1st cam belt parties that we had was a great day and so much  fun. My son was about 3-4 years old then now his 12 years old.....makes me feel very old ::)

It was wicked fun we must have had 50 cars there ..think it was in Telford  I remember my son draining my battery watching Sponge bob on my cars dvd player ;D  we saved thousands that day by not having to go to the dealer s for the work  was so nice to see everyone my son loved the indoor BBQ maned by Bob I think  ...good memories :) :)

Telford, was it not? Crikey! Time flies. Little lad drained the battery watching DVDs in the back while we swapped the cam belt IIRC? ;D

Just don't mention the duck tape / portaloo incident.  :-X

Hi Kevin.......That's the one sorry....it was

Yep he was just chilling in the car and I forgot he could get it set up and he swiched it on and had a 3 hour spoongbobathon on the tvs.....I was thinking that he was very quite ;D ;D.

I was lucky to have oh around 50 other Omeges to help he the battery up and running. I think it was Neil MV6's car that we used to jump start mine.

Good times :y :y

Due to the goings on later that evening, the whole weekend is a bit fuzzy for me.  I recall a secret stash of malt under the table in the hotel bar, I remember the police turning up, and I remember being in bob.dents room.  The rest is just a blur  :-[

Although we had a couple of cambelt meets before Telford - MDTM's gaff (though that might have been in VxON days?) and then mine/tunnie's gaffs in Brakkers.  I remember MDTM's one clearly, but the one in Brackley was another fuzzy weekend. I can see a theme....
