it's gold and it's a facelift. And it has beige leather. Oh, and a 2.5 (admittedly chipped and 3.0l cams). What is there to like?

Still, touch wood, hasn't missed a beat, so it's doing the needful ;)


Except I think I've warpped the front discs ::)

This is an Omega site, guessing you lot would moan if I posted up pictures of better looking cars (ie, not gold ones!)
