I have today purchased the replacement car for the wife's Omega. It is a 1982 Testarossa in roso Red with magnolia hide interior. It is in stunning condition and has had the vandal proofing carried professionally so that it now looks like a 1998 Xantia estate. very clever.
Anyway, soon to be for sale is the fastest 2.5 Estate you will find. The wife's 1999 2.5 CDX Auto Estate in silver. EVERYTHING has been done and we have used this for the last year+. I am doing the rocker gaskets this weekend, then it goes on sale. Open to offers or it goes on Ebay.
Last one is Laidbacks old 2000 Facelift CD Auto saloon in silver. Again, all done and ready for sale.
Then it is bye bye all! as I move on to new pastures.

Be a shame to see you go. Sure you'll pop back from time to time just to have a sneeky peep eh! it just seems once youv'e owned a 'mega you'll always have a hankering for another:)

Fin, your input on this forum has been tremendous and i hope even though you might not be an Omega owner you stick around or visit from time to time, Im sure we all will say the same, someone of your knowledge and sense of humour is an inspiration to us all.. :y
-
good luck with the sales :)
sure you don't want a tractor? ;D
-
Best of luck Fin, with whatever path life unfolds in front of you. I have no doubt that you will apply your all to whatever now takes your interest and, undoubtedly, both you and the new centre of attraction will both benefit in the xtreme.
Haste ye back. Your efforts here are much appreciated.
:y

Fin,
As one who has personally benefited from your kindness and knowledge, I must say it would be a great shame if you left the forum. I appreciate that your health problems and lack of Omega ownership will likely mean that you will not be as frequent a visitor as in the past, but your input on all subjects is of great benefit to us all. So, don't disappear, mate! :y :y

We need you for the Sunday evening quizzes at least. Even though I never get any of the answers. :'(

Oh, no no no no no no. I won't be leaving the forum! Just Omega ownership. I couldn't desert you lot! What the break else would I do on a Sunday? ;D

good luck with the sales :)

Now, I offered to take that wreck of your hands a long time ago. As the saga has unfolded, you wish you had done so and I am glad I didn't! ;D

Your wife will be upset!!!! :o

Just out of interest Fin', how much for the estate? Got any pictures, details on spec' etc?
Been thinking it might be time to update SWMBO's car.

Cruise, working computer etc. 165k, BUT drives like new. Everyone who has been in it is amazed. I did everything when I bouight it on 157k last year including cambelt. tensioners, water pump, both wishbones, droplinks, brakes, gearbox fluid, you name it. SWMBO's car MUST be right!

This i would like.. :y
Off to get my balaclava and visit a bank.. ;D
-
good luck Fin, i plan to get more projects on the go soon. I need to make some money!
-
good luck with the sale of the Omegas Fin :y
Xantia'a are a nice drive, i have had a few of them and they are underrated, the only issue i had with my Estate was the back door used to let water in, seem this is common on them, the back door seal and the wiper grommet are the chief culprits.

LOL, we should have swapped projects.... ;D

Finn, I haven't been anywhere on this site except 'General Chat' and 'Meetings/Events' for about 4 months now. This site is a great resource for help with an Omega, but it is by no means necessary to talk about Miggys in order to enjoy sticking around. :y
-
oh im sure Fin will see an omega bargain and not be able to pass it by in future weeks/ months ;)
-
Any chance of that special spanner then Fin ::)
