"Houston the omega has landed"
« on: 16 November 2010, 18:58:01 »

My omega today clocked up 238875 miles which is the average distance to the moon! I wonder if it will make it back?

That's fantastic! :y


I wonder, though, how many miles a average, well-looked-after family car would do if folk weren't so intent on trading them in after three years. People just don't 'love' their cars any more.

Put her megane coupe next to an omega and it would look like they came from different centuries......which, as it happens, they do. ;D

there is something to be said as regard some manufacturers build quality years ago compared to modern equivalents.
80s mercs and beemers much better paint than 90s examples.
these days like everything else, disposable cameras.

Mine's not as high as yours but close at 170,000!!

I left it standing for 4mths whilst overseas, came back and MOT'd it and passed with a caution on a rear tyre change. Well chuffed.   ;D
