Do 3 - 4K a month and see two or three a week.

Sadly I can't find a 3.2 Elite Saloon on a 52 or later that ticks all the boxes though.....

Not any more, don't see many on the roads anymore.  :(


Really? Loads of them around here.

Cover around 1,000 miles a month to and from work. Will see one a month if I'm lucky!


Until recently, I was doing 1000miles a week, and was always spotting Omegas locally that I hadn't seen before

At the beginning of the month I did a 5 day/ 850 mile round trip (Dorset - South Wales - Norfolk  - North London - Dorset) and I saw 1 Omega near Fakenham.  :)

Without my 2   there are  another 5 that I know of in my local area (3 mile radius). Only one of those is an oofer as far as I

am aware .

Another (A black 2.6 CDX ) is owned by a lovely looking, early 40's  example of the female gender . . . have spoken to her a

few times in the local BP garage . Offered to have a look at hers anytime she needs a service  ::) ::)   but it seems she

takes it to the localish main dealer  :'( :'(

You need to educate her on the folly of having her big ends fiddled with by any other than an OOFer and as for her timing, with the CD you could keep her running sweet :y
