ohh my     GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: 13 January 2007, 18:30:36 »
i was going to wait until tomorrow and post with pics, but too damn excited.

Collected my Senator 24v today, £300 quid, 12 months MOT, new cat back zorst, new heater matix, 2 new back tyres.

Drove it back, and OH MY GOD is it fast...

Waves of torque and power, 30-110 this thing is unbelievable!!

Its faster than my 2.2 by a LONG way, its more comfy, and get this.... if the fuel comp is accurate does better mpg. Averaged 31mpg from Swindon back to Brackley, and i was hoofing it all the way.

All in good nick, arches good, cruise works, original leads still in, original Headunit with 10cd changer in the boot, leather all in good nick, adjustable suspension works.... its in amazing condition.

Still tingling after driving it, so fast and soooo smooth.

Think i have been converted to Senators!  :o

Tunnie, you ever driven an Omega 3.0 Elite Auto V6?

Just personal opinion, but I'd say I'd prefer that to a Senator. Although, Senators are cool!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Senator ownership mate. :D

I guess you are starting to understand why we love them! ;)

James, a good 24v Senator is more fun than the elite... manual MV6 is still top of the pile though.

driven one of the best V6's around... Jaime's 3.0 MV6 V6 Auto....

Well what can i say? even in standard form... the Senator seams faster. If i chip it, do some little basic jobs, oil and filter, water pump ect... i belive it will crack 170  ;)

So so fast and the torque is amazing, and i aint chipped it yet!

Plus all the electrics work, bar few minors, rear leccy window, passenger washer jet.

All original vents around the scuttle original leads into the dizzy, few other minor probs though. Bit of trim missing on the back bumper (chrome) plastic sill off passenger rear, got the sill just need some replacement clips. Original gold tint alloys, with WHITE centre, this car aint been messed around with. Rear leccy ariel works too thanks to Graham  :)

Need the code for the headunit and cd changer, going to take the VIN and log book down to Vx apparently they can get the codes?

Tunnie, good luck with the changer. The Grundig kit was not great, even back then.

I would whip it out and fit a proper headunit. :)

You tried having a proper play in sport mode yet? :)

its cracking for 15 years, central locking working slighly better now, but that still needs work.

Dads going away for a week tomorrow so get to stick in the garage, but starting it up again after comming back. My god is that sound good, no radio working on the way back (wants the code) didn't miss it the Straight 6 sounds amazing...

Seriously thats the best fun i have had driving since i was 17...

The fact that nothing really can touch you 30 - 100 + is a nice feeling, its just the minimal effort needed to get it to 70.

The bus ride from Reading to Swindon was awful, bus was slow, strong smell of fumes inside, had back ache after 15 mins.

Got in a 15 year old Senator... ahh thats nice  :)
