Looking good, I wish I'd known about vauxhall trim levels and got myself an elite rather than my cd - although it will soon have the same wheels and leather insides as yours :D

Nice motor, hope the mechanical work goes well :y

Scrubbed up well, both washer jets too  ;)
Does the front bumper on Mrs car need attention or is that my crap works PC playing tricks on me again?  ::)

I bought the Rover as a cat D write off. Ive got all the bits apart from the grill which is on back order but still haven't put it back together yet. Thats why my wife is pitting her dummy out, she knows the new Omega will get all the attention ;)

Loads of stamps in the book but it needs the belts changing now, the milage is 120000 and it cost me £1250 which might be a little over the top considering its failed its MOT on wishbones and front discs and pad but ive been after a manual estate for a long time :)

I nearly creamed my pants when I saw it in the Autotrader. I have been looking for ages for a 3.0 Elite Estate but with a manual box and when this came up me and Timbuk went to see it in the dark :o but I bought it anyway and Timbuks dad had my silver one. I bought it about 3 weeks ago and the bloke I bought it off was either really trusting or just wanted it off his drive (the latter I think) as I gave him £500 deposit and a cheque for the rest and he said take it away.

A trustworthy non believer :y..result in any case,  :y.....did you manage to sort out that white frothy stuff in front of the car, did that come out of the engine, or was that the head of the beer you were drinking ;D ;D

;DKeep us posted. I was lucky mine was specced with cream leather. Was'nt sure about the colour at first but it's grown on me now, 95'000 (now 97'000) 12 mot 6 tax, 4 new michelins £950 cash. Had to have it. All the best with your estate, should be a cracker!!!
