[OZZY4rm NOTTS]

Jimbob - with my utmost respect, I would like to say Thank you for this verdict.   I am relieved in knowing that we have received an authorative opinion on this matter.  

Individuals ought not allege or indeed assert assumptive perceptions publically in the absence of exhausting amicable methods initially - where they are promoted unambiguously on each posting.  furthermore, such hostility is most certainly contrary to OOF's culture.


[size=14]All others - thank you for your justice[/size].  

Mr B - From the history booklet it seems it was last serviced at 96K?  is that bad?

It's an auto 2.5 V6 not exactly the kind of car bought for its fuel economy. I bought myself a cheap crappy Astra TD for my daily comute of around 45 miles (in total) as a tank each week in the Omega was taking the pi$$, not to mention the increased cost of tyres etc
You end up with two lots of insurance & road tax, but I think it's worth the extra expence, my Omega isn't worth enough to consider selling alyway.

Hey Andy B 

I honestly cannot afford a 2nd car! ! !  I have however considered a moped tho!  
a) they are cheaper than a car in all ways
b) they wizz through traffic (ever so annoying to CAR drivers ) potentially means saving time and stress!
and c) the weather's treating us well at the mo . . .

IMHO this is an advice thread, not a sales thread.

Please can we all be a bit more welcoming.

If you have a problem, use the alert mod button, thats what its there for 

I agree, some people so put up proper adverts in the wrong place, being clearly wrong, to me this isnt one.

I think the issue was mate, that the person in question posted the same thing, in multiple other threads, not just this one.

Some of these have been deleted since you logged in, so you may not be basing your opinion on the whole picture.

Each one was a cut and paste job, with the same content, detailing the same car, same price, etc –posted in many threads, on the for sale board.

If it was just an "advice request" it wouldn't have also been plastered all over other peoples threads on the for "cars sale" board.

To see this posted in so many boards, in such a short space of time, did give a clear impression that it was an attempt to circumvent the post count rules… 

That said – the chap has apologised, has been decent about it, and no harm done, so let’s worry about more important things, like enjoying the nice weather .... (and fixing exploding fuel tanks    )

James - Thank you for your news at 11!

but just to clarify some points -

*2 other posts not "many" as you put it
*Although not CUT n PASTED, it reads very similar as it concerns the same dilemma and the same car!
*Not JUST for sale but CARS FOR SALE & WANTED threads


I feel you have expressed a relatively bias account of the actual eventualities of the early hours of today - the picture you paint of me is indeed deformative as your selcetion of words evident this.

As Deleting straight away is surely a good thing - it shows acknowledgment of an oversight put right - rather than cunningness as you explain.

You only mention the Sale aspects of it - what about the wanted sections??  Also, as I clearly say - I was in 2 minds at the time, stressed due to its costs and desperately seeking some options - hence the 3 posting in short time.  I believe a reasonable person would have done just that what I did - my acknowledgement of peoples advice and indeed alerts were addressed and resolved immediately.

the clear impression you talk about is a matter of opinion - I 100% know my situation and believe me, would not deliberately break any rule that I am aware of - but as soon as I realise an error on my part - I will always be the first to put my hands up and rectify whatever I can.

I sincerely hope you and others see that.

I put it to you -

You could always either go pedal power or one of those hair drying things for commuting to work, a lot cheaper and you get to keep the motor.

Locking now as think this has run its course and gone totally off topic.

I think lessons have been learned in all directions, lets all get on with fixing cars again
