The End......
« on: 07 May 2017, 11:04:36 »

So after nearly 11 years I waved bye bye to my Omega this morning when 2 Polish blokes eventually turned up after buying it on ebay last week.  ::)

Not a bad result really, the local scrappy had offered me £50 and I got £160.  I was a bit shocked at the final ebay fee though, £30!  :o Still my fault for not checking.  ::)

So thanks to everyone here for all the great help and advice I've received over the years which has kept the old girl on the road a lot longer than otherwise would have been the case!  :y :y :y

Probably on it,s way to Gdansk as we speak, to be sold in Euroland for ten times what they paid you for it. :D

Why not stick around Sir Tigger?  Many do after getting rid of their last Omega. :y :y

Believe me you will miss it and want to be part again of this great club 8) 8) 8)

I didn't say that I'm leaving OOF Lizzie, just that I've joined the ranks of the Omegaless OOFer's  ;)  :)

A lament dedicated to Sir Tigger and TB, to show we all empathise with their loss.  :)

Oh! I always thought UK people are fighters for their dreams. Giving away an Omega for a couple of Ponds, Euros, Dollars or Zloty?

Unacceptable!

In case of some trouble with rust (Omegas main problem) I take out my welder. Nothing is impossible ;)

This is the the end of left rear skill after removing all rust. Repair sheet is welded in, but I could not do the finnish, because it was raining the complete weekend. More in a few days...

I am not forced to drive an old Omega. I simply like it.
