Nothing like a Mig
« on: 18 February 2013, 18:32:39 »
Just bought this for the other half to nip down the shops in.

One too many pedals, two too few cylinders, wrong fuel, and wrong wheel drive for my liking, but it will out accelerate the Mig and is damned good fun  :y

Trouble is once the Omega is at 140 it'll need a petrol station break often ::)

Agreed,I'm tempted to give the 3.0 a once only dose of the 'beans' but it still has the tyres on that were on the car when I bought,O.K for knocking around in but will need changing before I start cracking walnuts again.  ::)
