Yeah seen them James May seemed to like them very much indeed

[cruisetopoland]

He's the only one with an ounce of sense

It drives like it is the missing Mini between old and new.  Daihatsu tech, 100% reliable, quiet, 55++mpg and wonderfully responsive and full of feel.

I will miss it, but we need some cash out.
Will prob buy an old fartknocker for now; have robbed the bank for the Omega!!   

[ENFIELD_MV6]

lol something small and nimble again then

[cruisetopoland]

Daft thing is that the little cheap stuff is more expensive than quality stuff-people are obsessed by tax band and mpg.

My 2004 04 Kelisa is absolutely mint in special order Purple Mica with FSH and 15k miles-only cost £5500 new, but will still fetch £2350-odd now, 5 years on.  Not much depreciation then...

Omega 20+k new......

[ENFIELD_MV6]

very valid point, so another omega then perhaps

[cruisetopoland]

Yeah-nice and safe and my wife only does 5k miles pa.

Would like a mintish, miley simple as poss facelift car for about £500....if we get the Kelisa gone.

Comments about the Omega after driving the Kelisa:
It needs a foghorn not foglights, a mooring not a parking space and someone elses fuel card!!!

They say you know you're getting overweight when your clothes get tight.  My CAR was getting tight....

[ENFIELD_MV6]

lol there is somebody on here selling theres, was going to trade it in but was only offered £200 got t&t on it and apperently its tidy

[RobG]

don't belive that millage for second

According to the VOSA site the mileage is right, so if it's been toyied with, it's been done every year. Apparently it was a little old dear who owned it.

how did she see over the steering wheel lol 

What would a little old dear be doing with a motor like that :-/

i was trying to work it out aswell, that said my mum is 5ft 5 and drives a 850 T5 estate lol

.........I should know after buying 87!! 

I've been driving for 30 years & in all that time was without a car for a couple of months when I wrote one off about 25 yrs ago. But I've had a .....
MKIII Cortina,
Cavalier Coupe,
Opel Manta coupe,
MK II Carlton 2.2 (like this
12v Senator,
24 Senator &
I currently own both a crappy Astra diesel &
my Omega.
That makes it that I'm on car 7 & 8

Back on topic ....... on my current milage on my Omega, I would have only put a similar milage on it had it been mine for all that time.      Not all Omegas spend all their lives on a motorway clocking up intergalactic milage - just most.

I had a Mk2 Carlton. 1985/B 1.8GL in an interesting burnt orange colour. 130,000 miles and it was spotless. Most comfortable car I have ever had, the seats were like armchairs.

Sold it to a taxi driver who took it up to 300,000 miles with no real problems. Great cars!!!!!!!
