you lucky lucky moo ;) 


I wish you a long and happy partnership with the beastie....      i used to be very fond of that sort of colour. Back in the 80's i had 2.0CD, then 2.2cd(x?) carlton in that sort of shade,  before i started on the Senators....   (and indeed my 3rd sennie was that sort of colour also)

So Lizzie you got better deal--who wants a bentley when you can have a miggy--no brainer that one---miggy anyday :y :y :y :y Well done you-glad you made right decision :y :y :y

Thanks, and saved about £1,000 on the maintenance I would have spent on the 3.0 :D :D :D :) :)

And for Opti........................

That last miggy cost £1,695, plus another £1,600 maintenance costs, and lasted 4 years.  Got £500 PX off the new at £3495, and I have one of the last Omega's at a very low mileage. If it last 5 years, using the straight line depreciation I would have used in business, @ £700 per year is to me very acceptable for a fully loaded, excellent example that has an engine bay (pictures to follow) like a brand new car.  Only seen that on a brand new car before!

No rear arch rot either, so body should last for the five years as well.  For me it will be a result :D :D :D ;)

Rubens red with shale leather, which is indeed a nice colour combination.
I currently have in a 1982 Bentley Continental Convertible, which is a lovely vehicle...but required in excess of £6,000 worth of work for the last MOT, and this one's actually in good condition. So, as lovely as Bentley's are, an Omega is just as good and more cost effective. I have a 2001 Arnage 6.75, which again is lovely but the spec on that isn't quite as good as a 3.2 Elite. Hopefully I'll see your new acquisition in person at one of the meets  :y

Indeed, and it was those kind of facts that made my brain rule my heart...........a pity really as I still want a Bentley (perhaps though a 2013 model!! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D)........but as you say the miggy is the best answer for me anyway. :y :y

It was on June the 22nd, the same day as Hitler invaded Russia.  |What does that say about my right wing, but socialist views?

Oooooops, politics again!  Naughty Lizzie!! :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
