Title: Former member rejoining
Post by: belldarr2 on 12 June 2016, 09:03:24

Hello, I used to be a member several years ago when I had my black 2002 3.2 Elite saloon and although didn't post much I enjoyed reading the posts of others, I sold my black Elite due to the mileage getting too high but I did miss it but had a range rover and a mercedes to help me get over it.   

So fast forward a few years and I see a guy at work pull up in a silver 2003 2.6 cdx saloon - so I get talking to him and tell him about this great forum, he humours me but is clearly no enthusiast and last week pulls up in a ford fiesta, he tells me he needs better fuel economy, he then offers me the Omega for a very reasonable sum and without even driving it I shake his hand. 

What can go wrong lol.

Spent the last 2 days cleaning it inside and out but loving the nostalgia and the familiar dash layout, car was clean anyway but I am OCD about cars so it has been vaxxed, leather feed (gliptone), plastics dressed and vague steering diagnosed as the idler arm.

May stick some Elite wheels on it as the cdx ones are a little small but will keep it as a spare vehicle and see how we go :)

Anyway - good to be back on board!

Darren.
