Mine is getting cosmetically scruffy now. Recent frost got under the lacquer on the bonnet and front of the roof and caused a lot of peel.
I still love driving it though and dont plan on ever getting rid of it.
Partially inspired by the number of people on here who regret no longer having one.
They are just a great old thing to drive, and minus some of the unnecessary complications of new cars.
When I got my first one - around 18 years ago - I soon had buyers remorse, as it had a most of the standard problems of a neglected Omega.
I searched the internet for answers and found OOF (which had just started up) and soon got the car back to full health, including replacing the autobox.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Downside is I have had to suffer STEMO for all that time.  ;D

S'funny but I can relate to that entirely.
Had mine 22 years now , have no use for it , don't actually need it as there are too many other vehicles in the fleet to be sensible but here we are only today eagerly spending several hundred on parts  for it's  NCT ( MOT ) .
It is a great old thing Albs and actually nicer to drive than the new Tiguan with it's ludicrous complexity and the reverse snobbery of driving an attractive old car makes me, and others ,  smile .
I've loved the old thing since I bought it and also  have no plans to let it go , ever . :y

Well we live in the real world and he's going to be protected , encapsulated and isolated for the duration of the sentence as the authorities are all too aware of the bounty on his head .
Potential sucide will be reduced or eliminated by the 24 hour monitoring that will also be awarded to him.

If I was to be given the option of some sort of subtle ad hoc debilitating punishment I'd have the collective witness statements continually being played in a loop in the background of his cell at a controlled variable volume that followed the ambient volume in the cell.So even if he had the capped volume of the TV( or device )  that he will heve on at high could still be audible .
It would be reduced at night to a level that his sub concious could still hear too .
24/7/365/52 /51 .

F''k him.

How to change the Left’s minds on migration
No doubt about the week’s most entertaining story. Last month in Paris, a Left-wing theatre group decided to host a special conference entitled “Reinventing the Welcome for Refugees in France”. And, in a noble demonstration of solidarity, the group offered free tickets to 250 mostly African migrants.

After the conference had ended, however, the migrants point-blank refused to leave. They occupied the theatre – and five weeks later, they’re still in there. Indeed, their numbers have now swollen to over 300, as more and more migrants rush to join them, undeterred by the overcrowding and increasingly unsanitary conditions. As a result, the theatre now faces financial ruin.

From my favourite right wing newspaper  :)

The Maire de Paris will send a couple of reps from one of the many ABTA approved companies that organise one way channel cruises with attractive discounts on offer .
The group  , shall we now call them foul luvvies , will be over here tout de suite  seeking the keys to the London Paladium from sadiq khan .
Sunday nights will never be the same ..... :)

I'd think that it would /will be impossible to have him removed from office due to the fact that the voting populace of London is by far predominatly non indigenous now. Another person who dislikes the UK culture and people will follow him , probably  more abhorrent than Khan.
This is a classic example of the shift that occurs when the balance is tipped in favour of that particular group or ethnicity , the power now lies with them and they can create the enviorment that they wish to the detrement of those that they now hold in contempt.
Unfortunately their values and social practices destroy all  that we hold dear .
London has long ceased to be reflective of the UK and has sunk into a sad shadow of it's former self .My wife was born in London and we spent time going back there almost weekly  in the mid to late 90's when we lived in Beds. There was a sea change occuring then but that world is all but gone now.
Other cities will follow, and soon.
I've recently watched some Youtube footage of life in London ,and UK as a whole, from the 60's /70's and even 80's and the change is quite astonishing and quite sad .
It makes me laugh when the featured couples on Escape to the Country programmes say that they wish to escape the cities " because it's so much busier " than years before ........Mmmm  ::)
And yeah , he's and obnoxious little man who deflects and avoids answering any questions that expose the deceit ,degeneration, danger and islamification of all that he now truly Lords over ......

Ireland has just passed an act identifying 79 different genders that have to be recognised by law , the presenting minister couldn'y pronounce some of them and had to stop for breath several times in the 25 minutes it took her to read them out .
I have no problem with anyone deciding to identify , dress and live as , well ....anything , but firmly believe that the birth gender should be sacrosanct .
Call yourself what you want but you are what you are from an official /administrative/ legal  point of view," piss standing up you go in that door , sitting down then that one's for you luv ......"
It's believed that < 150 people have had surgical sex change procedures in Ireland ,over an unknown or announced time period , but here we are again catering for the vast minority .
I read recently ( sorry can't find the source so correct me if I am wrong ) that in Scotland when anyone is being admitted to  A&E they are asked if they believe that they are pregnant , this includes males . ::)
I really do not understand why we waste time and effort  on this immensely uneccesary subject .

Vauxhall Corsa headlight bulbs have pissed me off today.  They were obviously far too easy to access as stand alone headlights so good old Vauxhall decided to fit the airbox to block the back of the offside light and a fuse box to block the nearside light. Airbox is a doddle to remove but you need midget hands for the nearside bulb. I can see why some people remove the headlights to do the job now.
The rear lights have to be removed completely to change a rear bulb but at least that is easy. What a faff for a two minute job.  ::)
.
My Daughter had a Ford KA a few years back & I was asked to change one of the headlight bulbs on it for her,  cut a long story short I almost resorted to calling the fire brigade to get my hand out of the front panel, absolutely ridiculous the way it had been positioned.

Yep , same as the left hand DRL bulb on a Skoda Yeti .It took two weeks for the cuts and grazes to heal . >:(

Sad beyond words , 37 with all her life in front of her .
I think back to when I was that age and realise what has been stolen from her and her children.
I'm so very sorry Albs .

People who are not ,and never have been ,involved in the slave trade should not be paying money to people who are not and never have been slaves .

My condolencies to you Varche .
As others have said he reached a commendable age but it's still a wrench when we lose our parents.
Treasure those memories .

Metaphorically it's just another brick in the wall of the erosion and conversion of the world that we ,of a certain age ,grew up in and enjoyed.
The steady change that we witness all around us is normal and continual , it happened to my Father and his Father before .
Unfortunately with the advent of Social Media , modern technology and a diversity driven left wing dominated educational system  it's change is factorial rather than exponential.
I'm at an age now that although I deeply dislike what I see daily ,I have resigned myself to the fact that I cannot do anything about it . Soon , well not too soon hopefully ..., we'll be gone and the second generation after us will be Kings , and they'll get the world that they choose to have .
Reap what you sow springs to mind .
Steve's interesting post is just indicative of the direction that the UK is travelling it makes no sense to me at all , but tell me what does in this day and age .
It's a very alien world to the one that I enjoyed up to about ten years ago .

Al those pink & purple placards indicate Socialist Workers party.
Cant get much more far left then that, but the media call them Anti racism supporters.
Two tier reporting / policing / Government.  ::)

There was definately something very peculiar occurred last night .
The complete absence of " far right " demonstrators but the en masse appearance on a Wednesday night of the " everybody's welcome ,we love you " brigade stretches credulity .
It's difficult not to occassionaly ponder if dark forces are pulling strings ......
Meanwhile , whilst our eyes are on these events the back door is still open and they are still piling in unnoticed.

I'm more and more bewildered at the speed and spectrum of change that is occurring in the UK , and indeed here in Ireland too .
I thought it would be our children in later life that would start to feel the discomfort that diversity and happy happy multi culturism would bring but it's here ....now.
I do believe that we are all in a perilious state .
I've watched many videos by presenters on SM and Youtube over the weekend but this one really stood out . I think it may be that he spoke spontaniously with no , it seems , notes to prompt him ,his composure and matter of fact presentation kept me watching to the end .
It's not a short vid but you may feel the same as me when , or if , you watch it through .

He campaigned on the "spiraling cost of living " ticket , wouldnt speak of the intractable , invasive ,costly illegal immigration as that was a stick with merde on both ends to him .
How wonderfully rewarding that he immediately eliminates the winter fuel allowance to pensioners who have worked all their life and paid into the system diligently but has no compunction in catering for free comfortable accomodation for the invasive , undocumented and unchecked hordes of young grasping ILLEGAL immigrants .

A spineless ,void of a man who within four weeks has shown that he is incapable of displaying any inkling of leadership or even a shred of ethos.

If Trump wins the US election I await the first meeting between the two with glee.
I always seen him as a weak ,wimp of a man who has no gravitas, no inspirational "lead from the front" personna .Someone who is afraid to raise his voice in case he brings attention upon himself.
Not someone who would motivate me to go out and battle for the team.

For he , and his party, to label ALL protesters as "far right thugs " was an absolutly thoughtless ,disgraceful and irrational act that will only increase his isolation and direct people to Reform.
Suppose every cloud has a silver lining though .........
