Just thinking....

......about where the omega lies in financial scheme of things. I reckon you could get a very decent omega for around £2000.
Or you could have this for £1500 more:

Very overpriced like a lot of stuff aimed at elderly folk.

I was thinking of upgrading the mower with a nice V8.......much like Ogri did many moons ago.

How about a nice trike with the Signum V6 used as a donor engine. :)

Some years ago, I pulled a Metro based trike out of the fence that stopped it when a wheel fell off. On the way to the owner's house, he called it a toy that he built for his wife, and that real trikes use the engine, gearbox and IRS from a Senator :o
I thought he was joking until we had to move it to unload the little one.


24v Senator, in case you're wondering....

Once saw a trike with a 4.2 XK engine and auto box as the power train.There are quite a few round here that range from A series engines through the Essex V6 to Audi V8 and Jaguar 5 litre V8 engines.

I'm pleased to see there is not a single 'nancy boy' helmet in sight. :y

Even a mere woman can drive/ride it. :)
