Title: well it looks like im off soon
Post by: theharv on 27 October 2010, 11:14:54
had friend round last night to pinch the last off my omega before it goes on saturday for scrap ,firstly this isnt a for sale post ,but any member near me who wants anything for spare can come help themself to parts for free as this whole excercise was about reclycling the parts but forum rules regarding 250 posts ment that the only things i sold were via ebay and they were the following
front bumper,stereo,rear spoiler,rear lights,cats
i didnt look what my friend took but it was mostly trim and clips etc .
anyway my point is had i been able to advertise it im sure i may have sold alot more and helped out the omega community but as it is this car with full service history and low mileage will be destined for scrap and will be recycled but not how i had planned it as its one less and good parts have gone ,anyway ,thanks for everyones help and warm welcome and good luck with site

There's no need to leave because you're between Omegas. ;)

On the for sale restrictions, it's unfortunate that we have to implement such a policy but a few bad eggs provide a constant reminder that it's justified, unfortunately. :(

Anyway, all the best.. until your next Omega arrives. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. ;)

Truly those were the exact words said to me when I enquired of a Gahnaian in Accra about going by train from Accra to Kumasi

Me? Write songs? Someone's subjected themselves to the "Warm smell of colitas" if I'm not mistaken. ;)

Apparently the line was written in relation to Jackson Brownes first wife, who committed suicide. Browne was a friend/collaborator/ co songwriter with the Eagles.

I might take this anorak off now, its getting a bit warm in here. ::) :D
