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

I know I say it a lot, but they really are hard cars to beat for comfortable, effortless mile crunching.
