The guy is a fučkin nutter. He proved it again today with his infantile letter to the Danish prime minister. 'You didn't give me my favourite toy, so I'm gonna throw the rest out of my pram'

Before Trumpy showed an interest, did Denmark ever give a shit about Greenland?   

What difference does that make? 
I don't really give a shit about a few of my things, but I wouldn't like anyone to just take them.

Well....   I wonder what the average Greenlander on their icy streets thinks? 

If Trumpy offered them $$$$ for investment, upgrading infrastructure etc they might be tempted to become the 51st state.....

Read the news, there are plenty of people's views on there.

Which news?  The corrupt corporate mainstream legacy media? 

Yeah OK, I'm being a bit contrary.... 

But...

Where was the outrage over the years when Spain has acted like complete and utter Tuesdays over the border with Gibraltar? 

Where was the outrage when France sent technicians to Argentina during the Falklands war to maintain their Exocet missiles? 

Where was the outrage about Mauritius making unfounded claims on the Chagos Archipeligo and weaponising international law and opinion against the UK? 

The hypocrisy from the EU who have always backed Spain in their quest to gain control of Gibraltar, against the expressed wishes of the Gibraltarians, and Starmer who talks loftily about the Greenlanders right to self determination, but doesn't give a flying fk about the Chagossians right to any say in what happens to their islands as he hands them over to Mauritius is just effing staggering! 

But hey! It's Trump, so lets all jump on the Outrage Bus as Nigel (Entwood) used to say!   

Ok, I'll admit it, I've got.........Trump derangement syndrome 

And another thing....   China! 

Where was the outrage when China disregarded the international treaty with Britain guaranteeing Hong Konger's the same rights and liberties for 50 years, known as the 'Basic Law', after Hong Kong was handed to China in 1997. 

Where's the outrage about China claiming almost all of the South China sea, including the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) of neighbouring countries such as Vietnam, Philippines and Malaysia, and building military bases on islands, atolls and reefs across the region? 

But it's Trump, who is acting like a dick, so lets all get outraged!

I always thought that we were the 51st state. 

4 x CD changer, not 6, sorry.

Never tried the satnav either - doubt it works

Pictures incoming......

The not so good bits:

I will be honest, some TLC is needed. Not for any big, nasty problem, but rather a collection of niggly little bits which need sorting. These are, from the best of my memory:

Advisories on the previous MOT because some of the underneath is starting to look corroded. The tester commented that it's just discoloration at the moment, and that a clean up and some waxoil / lanoguard or similar would sort it. This was last April.

The rear offside arch is cosmetically very poor. It was like this at the last MOT, but the tester said it's not structural and therefore not a failure. The other arch is much better, but will need treatment to stop it developing like the other one.

The interior is very grubby and marked. The car is a daily workhorse and has transported kids, garden centre runs, etc. It needs a really good valet / going over on the inside. It's pretty manky. No tobacco smell though - it has never been smoked in.

The steering wheel audio control for increasing the volume doesn't always work as expected.

There is a coolant level warning and a brake pad warning on the display. This is caused by a faulty sensor in the header tank, and the fact I didn't receive a new wear-sensor when the new front pads were delivered. Both easily resolved.

The paint on the sunroof surround has started to come away.

The passenger side door card is loose at the top and needs refixing.

The buttons on the key don't lock or unlock the car. It has to be done manually. This means the indicators flash when the car is unlocked, until the ignition is turned on. There are two keys, but only one will start the car because the other doesn't have a transponder for the immobiliser.

There is a small exhaust blow. This is NOT corrosion or any failed components (the exhaust is stainless) - just that the cat-to-mid-section joint on the nearside needs re-sealing or tightening.

The boot-lid is a different colour, but I have the original bootlid as pictured, with Elite Spoiler attached. This is included in the sale. The area where the griffin would go, is rusty and needs rubbing down and spraying.

Paintwork is generally scruffy. There are scuffs / ripples on both bumpers. The rubber strip at the bottom of the rear doors (both sides) is coming away.

I haven't tried to conceal any of this at all, I took the pictures exactly as the car was today, after lots of winter running around.
The locking wheel key is present. There is a spare wheel with excellent, possibly unused tyre. I will change the rear brake pads before auction end because they are low. Front discs and pads were done in summer of 2024, as were wishbones and full geometry / alignment. Sadly I can’t find most receipts and history but the work was all documented on the Omega Owners Forum at the time - with many photos. The engine is bulletproof and will take you anywhere, but the car has always, from day one, coughed a little on a winter start. If you turn it off and immediately back on, it will run fine all day and drive you from Scotland to Poland. It’s been like this for the past 15,000 or so miles. It doesn’t concern me at all, but just adding for honesty sake. I must also repeat the interior is grubby… needs a really good valet as per pics. The boot carpet is also filthy. Car is in daily use (I’m enjoying every last day / mile!) so stated mileage will increase a tad.
