Nice looking car, I do like the colour.

A lovely looking example Nick, which your "fares" should appreciate

Do you charge extra 'limo' rates for such a luxurous taxi?

She has 144,000 miles on her now and as of yet no problems. My last DTI elite which was on a 2001 Y reg i sold her with 237,000 miles on and that again never let me down and is still going strong now as my mum bought her. It had it's first clutch and cat at 196,000 and just after that an EGR valve. The only thing that i have found to be a problem is the crank pully for the aux belt, they seem to go at about 100,000 miles or so, i did the one on my 03 elite at 122,000 but not a lot else goes wrong

I have had 3 Omega's and i used to drive my dad's taxi and in that time he had two pre facelifts plus his own car which was an omega and all have pulled to the left and vauxhall said it's the car and thats how they where made and the guy who looks after my cars worked for vauxhall for over 30 years and now has his own garage and he said thay all do it. If i drive my mother in-laws car which is a saab and then jump back in to mine it feels like you have to fight it. Just make sure you check the camber as well as the tracking cos that to can kill tyres and make it pull a little but other than that dont worry

This is a link to both my omega's http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1216146184
