Well done! :y :y

My Roger Budden Omega is still going strong, but I still only have 72K on the clock! 

I have some way to go :D ;)

Excellent.

I do miss my Omegas but not the filling up every time I went out.  £23,500 in fuel?   £2,300 per year average?

(petrol at  say £1.2 x 4.5= £5.40 a gallon

Mine did 23 mpg so 100000 /23= 23,500) Think that is about right

Less if LPG'd of course. :y

As you may note from the invoice.. I traded in a 1999 2.5 Omega to get this one, simple reason was I wanted the 3.2 elite and wanted it LPG'd ... the car was purchased on the 28th January, and had the LPG conversion done 6 weeks later, 15th March.

Some folks know this was NOT the car I went to view, the idea was to get the "newest" 3.2 I could, as it was "LPG and keep", so went to view a silver 03 reg, there was nowt wrong with it but it wasn't saying "buy me" ... but this one, complete with full irmscher bodykit, was sitting there smiling at me ... and I couldn't resist ... rest is history ... :)

The LPG "record" shows that my total "savings" from using LPG for 10 years are £10,137.67 to date, (38% saving) and that is after taking off the figure for conversion, repairs and servicing that have occurred in those 10 years ...   :)

That is even more excellent :y Shows the value of LPG'ing if keeping the car.

Growing up in the sixties you would often see cars advertised for sale with a description such as.......45000 miles from new. Engine recently rebored and new pistons fitted.

The body was often even worse.

100k miles and 10 years. It has served you well, and I imagine youve had your moneys worth from it.  :y

I imagine the 3.2 Elite is becoming pretty thin on the ground these days.

Mine's getting to be a positive low miler.At 18yrs old it's covered approx. 135,000mls of which I've done about 5,000 of them in the 7yrs I've owned it.Mind you it has been off the road for 2 of those 7yrs!

The mileage on mine is coming up to 110,000  soon provided the speedo doesn't keep stopping and starting with the abs and traction control light.
