[MR MISTER]

Just a car...?

Its the second most important purchase anyone will ever make in their life after a house. A machine with years of development, design and experience behind it. Numerous parts all working as one to bring a machine to life. Parts that add up to something a lot more than the sum of those parts.

It's the second most expensive purchase most people will make. And most of them are as interested in their car as their foodmixer. They simply don't care about the development etc, etc as long as it starts every time and doesn't cost too much. Hell, most BMW owners are only interested in the badge on the front; they could probably have stuck them on Robins and sold more than Reliant ever did.

Unless you buy an omega. Then it's the third most expensive behind a night out/the weekly shop.

Well....37psi all round got me 37mpg to Liverpool and back today, not that impressive in a 1.8 petrol.

Sounds pretty on the money for a petrol engine with such a large front/rear profile.

Now then now then  Ive had 3 Omega's , thrown a lot of money at them but been thoroughly pleased with the end result . Ive only had about 50 cars in 50 years so not bad going

My omega was relatively expensive in comparison to the last car I bought - £170 with almost a full tank of fuel.
The Omega may be just about to be replaced.If it happens the replacement is going to cost the grand sum of - £350. Im a big spender me.
