which makes the wife full of $hit. I want to do some work under the Omega, but i cant rush  because i don't know how I'm going to feel one day to the next . A mate has offered us the use of his Rover but swmbo being a proper blond she cant drive a Rover because its too big  (I hope she doesn't read this she hates being stereo typed ))  :D

Having owned several 800's, the Omega does feel a larger car. I noticed the extra kilo's straight away :'( Think i may do a total strip out & just leave the driver's seat & steering wheel, that'll bring the weight down ;D
