« on: 28 November 2012, 22:26:37 »

I wanted to buy 2 particular collectible cuddly toys, which were sold separately but made a seasonal pair....

Found someone selling the pair so put a bid in with a maximum at a price I was comfortable.... I was amazed when within a few minutes I was outbid....

Fine, off I went and have been lucky to purchase both items, separately for a total of, including postage, less that my outbid price for the pair...................ebay if fine, you have to know how to play it....

General Discussion Area / How come a little bit of Rain brings the whole area to a standstill............

« on: 26 November 2012, 20:20:14 »

A short length of flood on a dual carriageway on the A689 at Wynyard, that I could happily have driven through closed the road all day, causing huge ques both ways; the diversion east bound meant a right turn through a small village at a roundabout causing trouble for west bound traffic............

Hit it going to work and coming home, nearly hour and a half for a 12 mile journey, I hate sitting in ques........

The only bit of a smirk came when I thought about all the traffic and trucks going through this little, modern, posh village full of footballers and their wags.....

General Discussion Area / From Banger today to Classic Tomorrow............

« on: 24 November 2012, 20:22:26 »

We are driving future classics............   Well some of us drive a marque that has been famous since WW2, but never mine....

January 2013 Practical Classic Magazine came today and to my surprise there is an article in it that includes the Omega, and a mention of how there are no model specific clubs but 'the model is discussed in several online forums.....

The article title is..... 'Five brilliant barges for minimal money'

Cars that once cost and arm and a leg and now cheap as chips....

The Omega is promoted alongside the Mercedes 500 SEL, Jaguar X300, Ford Scorpio and the BMW 7 series E32................
