Title: MeToo
Post by: bryanbellis on 04 May 2007, 23:33:06

Well, I joined the Omega ranks today too. Got burgled two weeks ago while family were sleeping. Toe rags took all our keys, and drove my Jeep Cherokee away. Then the so*ds came back ten days later and nicked my Suzuki Burgman! Anyway, that's the sob story. Passed a Ford main dealer, had a 2001 Omega 2.2CDX Estate auto with 36K on the clock, one owner, garage kept, looking like new, full service history, and a years warrantee. Picked it up this evening so only driven 8 miles or so, so far. So many switches and buttons. Will take a while to figure. Like the climate control!  :y

Thanks for the kind thoughts. As for pressing buttons and see what happens, eek. I need glasses to see anything less than 6 foot away, beyond that I can see every hair on a head, so I don't need glasses to drive at all. Driving the Omega home from the garage, first trip, sorta wondered what some buttons did (dashboard), so pressed a few hear and there. Grief, fans, noise, screen showing "things". I can't see the icons on the buttons without glasses so it was random stuff. Eek. Surely the Enterprise (Star Trek) cockpit was easier. There's controls all over the place in this thing. Must read the manual, weekend homework!

Yep, it sure does. Frankly when I looked at it at the Ford garage (someone had traded it in for a Kia!), I wasn't as careful as I usually am, e.g. didn't check all was working like cruise, air con, CD, heated seats, and so on, and hadn't even looked under the hood. As I only picked it up yesterday evening, I spent some time today checking it all out, reading the manual, looking under the hood, driving about and so on. The engine and bay is so clean you really could eat your dinner off it, and everything works! Heated seats, oooh, nice. Putting four CD's in the tray is a tad fiddly but I can live with that. Today, the car feels real good, and I'm impressed. Seats (leather) are hard compared with my ex-Jeep, but Vauxhall seats are usually on the frim side of things. Hell, I'll get used to it! For the rest, nice, really nice.

Now, when insurance have finished messing me about (they've paid up for stolen Jeep), I'll start lookoing to replace my stolen Suzuki Burgman. Anyone got one spare? (Joking!)
