Went for a drive tonight..
« on: 23 September 2010, 23:19:28 »
Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

I've had the Omega a couple of weeks now and when I got it the front nearside wheel bearing needed doing so I havent been driving the car very much at all, the noise of the wheel bearing was fairly loud and I didnt want to make it worse.

But the wheel bearing was done today so I thought id go out for a little drive tonight and I was very pleased :) thats sports button is too addictive  ;D (especially when the roads are empty)

Time for a proper clean at the weekend to get her looking good again  :y

I always wondered why they didn't make the Sport button 'state' persist across restarts.. if I want it on, I probably want it on all the time apart from when I say I don't want it on..  ;D
