Title: Bye bye omega.
Post by: Ernie on 03 March 2008, 23:23:22

The time has come to start stripping all the goodies off my elite and put it all back to standard stuff as moving back to the dark side as in back to fwd.
My Elite has been a brilliant work horse for towing my track car around but were it is a saloon it was a bit of a pain getting the wheels and tools all in.
I have'nt gone completley mad tho as still sticking with vauxhall in the shape of a vectra GSI estate.
I will still be on the site as you have all made me feel welcome.
Good bye bertha.

I think there was some thing like 500 or so made in this colour.It should be dark blue but a bit green and mouldy at the mo lol.
Weve just fitted a new 30k lump into it after this happened to the last owner.

Will the Vectra be able to tow the trailer?

Title: Re: Bye bye omega.
Post by: Ernie on 05 March 2008, 23:38:37

should be fine for towing my trailer and track car as it weights bugger all.
I would like to tow any thing much bigger on it tho.
We will see once its all sorted.

God, i've always liked the look of those GSi estates, there's a certain rarity to them ey? But that wheel would drive me MAD!!!  :y

What's non standard about your omega then mate? I would also have to agree you have to buy an omega estate to partner the veccy  8-)
