Title: My Omega will be having no more mods 4 a while!!!
Post by: car-nut on 29 August 2011, 01:38:41
I was in the market for wheels and a front bumper for my Omega to carry on with the upgrading, and then I saw a caravan on Ebay and Impulse bought it, as I had always planned on replacing my last caravan that needed to much work for what I could do.

This is my new caravan. Pictures here are what the old owner used on the listing I bought it through.

Looks good mate - at the end of the day caravans aren't for everyone, but as long as your happy..... thats all that matters!

I wasn't fussed by a 'van, but SWMBO nagged for years and we ended up with one  ::)   Fair play though, I've enjoyed going away in it!

Enjoy mate!  :y

If I ever see you when I am towing I will make sure I do no more than 30mph in all the places I can't be over taken and then pull out into the road and speed up in the places you can  ;D ;D ;D ;D

If factory figures are to be believed, and it hasn't lost too many, then about 80bhp ;)

I'll say again, 2.2 and burger van, not much speeding up will go on.  ;)

Having owned one for 6 years, you notice drop in performance when 75L of LPG is in the back  ;)

Lacks imagination, though. You see, that hob by the sink looks perfect for gently heating acetylene cylinders 'til they go bang. ;D

I am after a caravan again as the seller was not honest about the description of this one and allthough described it as ok to tow, then turned round and said it needs replacement tyres to get it moving again.

So my Omega is back inline for mods and more work lol

There is nothing more annoying than being mis-lead  >:(
 I can't understand people who do that, they need to be shot on site!

Sorry it didn't work out for you mate, but at least your mig will be lavished with new upgrades  ;)
