Coming out of Sainsburys this morning an old boy aged 73 (yes i asked) came across to me and said wow thats a nice car and well looked after, i have one of them with 13,000 miles from new its a 3.2 elite model do you want to have a look he said, of course and guys this omega was minter then mint as if he had just brought it brand new today, i take my hat off to this guy as he promised me he had cleaned it twice a week and had spent many hours on his knees cleaning the wheels alone, unreal but 100 % true and a legend in his own right, i spoke to this guy for nearly an hour today and what a guy !! i just wondered how many other omegas are out there like this one...... only wish i had my camera with me.
Yes and before any of you ask.. many of you know i want an Elite or mv6 myself later this year but i did not have the guts to ask him if he wished to sell it to me
this guy gets Vauxhall to service it every 3 months too and to be honest that is one dedicated owner...
I mentioned joing the omega forum but he declined telling me he had just joined the local bridge club and this now took up his spare time
What a legend :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y

No doubt Andy there are cars like this with one elderly owner since new stuck away in garages all over the country, and every so often being brought out in good weather!! :D :D ;)
With care like that this particular car will last for ever, and I certainly would increase my visits on dry, warm, days to Sainsbury's to see him again and just let him know that any time he wishes to sell.................!! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
If you don't then I will!! Where is this Sainsbury's??? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
