I would like to vote but until the ballot papers arrived yesterday (we always vote by post) I didn't even know who was standing  :o

Now have a list of names but still no wiser ::)

Lazydocker has done it several times. His advice is to wear a little padding on the shoulders ;)

The Funeral Directors will give you all the help and advice you need. They will probably lift up onto your shoulders for you and take down too. They will also pair you up with someone similar in height :y

Last one he did they carried the coffin down the road from the church to cemetary (just under a mile) which he said was a little OTT :o

yup! at the risk of sounding like a cracked record(showing my age now)you have a troublesome lpg injector.the message is cryptic,it reports low voltage and you assume(as i did) that its referring to battery voltage but it can also be interpreted as an open circuit on an injector. on my cadillac when i gave it the hurryup i would often find lots of "voltage errors". all my troubles disappeared when i changed the injectors.ps did i mention that valtek's are crap?
He hasn't got Valteks though (IIRC) ;) If they have gone faulty then I expect Teilo may replace them... He's very good at standing by his warranty ;)

That said, Motogas (as they were) are no longer trading so :-\

It's not really an Omega. It's just a plastic shell made to look like one over a metal frame

Actually, the first picture doesn't look like a space framed body :-\ I reckon the OP's pic is an Omega shell :-\ Yours is as you describe though, a space framed car ;)

Got a bit of a surprise this morning... I called in on some family, my niece was doing some college work. Her and her classmates had done a public survey as part of their coursework. They asked 250 people about the electronics/gadgets they owned at home...

THREE of the 250 said they used what they had to their full potential. Two of them were Mac Book Pro owners who produce music and need every bit of the 8GB of RAM to cope with the peripherals wired to them. The other one was a doctor who used his iPad for a lot of his work in the surgery and in hospitals.

197 people had no idea what else their PC/laptop could do other than surf the Internet or type a letter and print it off! Three PlayStation 3 owners had no idea their console could play a Bluray movie!

Among the others was a bloke who had bought a £230 Sony Bluray player to play his collection of DVDs because he thought it would play them in HD and doesn't own a single Bluray disc!  ;D

To be fair, a decent Blue Ray player will upscale DVD to "near" HD. I know ours does ;)

Thanks all  :y :y
For your usefull observations and advice
Good to not be alone when misfortune and trouble hits
Hopefully everything should be a lot clearer after today
As i'm looking forward to bringing the replacement Miggy home
90+ml journey so that should tell a lot!!
She is an 03 3.2 Elite Estate as already said with the same spec
But with 25,000 more mls and a GID display instead of the CID one
She has Star Silver paint instead of Oyster which we much prefer so that's a plus
Whatever happens I think I'll be completeing a full stripoff of usefull parts
One fact that has surprised me in the past 14 days is how scarce 03 3.2 Elite Estates have been
Just can't wait to have an Omega in my life again :y :y
 
 

Very rare Cliff. Paul (LD) searched for 2.5 years for the right one :o Although his spec was very specific ::)

mrs cakey you think it be a harmless fun but as i see it it's not as members have been banned so it seams that Admins don't have a sense of humour like we do
Maria it's 24 hours and, more to the point, it's an internet forum. It's not the end of the world

If it's only 24 hours and it's only a forum then why are  you posting under your wifes profile?
I guess you cant keep away ;D

He struggles to ::) I've taken control of my laptop again now ;)

At my age, 24 hours is ages. I could expire at any time.

OOF wouldn't be that lucky :-X :P

Why don't you admins grow a pair and stop banning members for mentioning abba songs, you are like bloody children in a play ground and you are meant to be adults but it don't look like you are, i don't like all music but if they mentoined songs i didn't like on a forum that i was a admin i wouldn't go banning members as it is so stupid  and by the way what is wrong with ABBA as they was bloody good in there day and still are

I suspect it was probably all part of a pre-arranged, joke, Maria, and certainly nothing malicious :) :y

Pete's post was only meant as a joke too. His post wasn't meant in a malicious way. pete is also Amin on a forum and he don't go banning his members for mentoning any songs that he don't like !

Pete knew full well what he was doing, as did anyone else who posted song titles in the thread ;) He's a big boy and I'm sure he's enjoyed the joke when it's happened to others ;)

At the end of the day, if you don't want to play the game then don't poke the bear ;) It's only 24 hours FFS... I was banned for several days and only got access back about 17 hours before this one (perhaps that's a new record? ::)) :o ;D

Possible I suppose :-\

Just a thought, as I know he has had this issue in the past, are all the injector plugs sitting home correctly? He had one that seemed to be OK but would just unplug a little periodically, normally when the engine was very hot and he was "making progress" ::) At least, that's the phrase he used to tell me ::)

Not quite pre-arranged, but all harmless fun none the less ;) Anyway, it means he can do some chores for me today and I get to sit on here laughing ;D

I would suggest (as there are at least 3 Star Silvers) that you have the paint matched and mixed for you. It costs a little more but you are more likely to get a good match ;)

Sorry to see the damage by the way

Some people never learn ::)
How come you've banned him again? He was good to his word and didn't mention a single ABBA song title ::)

You're just a big bully!  :o No brownies for you :P
