the new car to pull track omega!!!!!!
« on: 23 June 2007, 18:01:50 »

hi guys well as some of you may have known , i was selling my bmw touring


 to get an omega estate to pull the omega track car........., ideally i was after an ex cop estate and would then try and get the same steinmetz wheels for it.... simply as i thought it would look cool :'(

mrs said yes thats fine as long as its a car that has 4 doors and a big boot....... OMEGA perfect!!!!!... then she adds it must be economical!!!!! :o

a 3.0 MV6 estate economical!!!!! i dont think so ....... so after convincing her a 3.2 MV6 cop was the way to go!!! ;D and was better on fuel  :-?........... i set out today to drive up to london to view 1!!!!

white, 03 plate 3.2 Mv6 - 142k £2100 ---- a steal!!! .......

drove all the way up, when i arrived guy came out said what am i after i said the white omega..... he reply'd "what that 1 i just sold to that guy" >:(............ your having a laugh!!! no he wasn't!!! :'(

so off i drove again not happy..... untill i stopped to get a coffee .. where accross the road i spotted something!!!!!

i wish i hadn't........... what i saw i bought ....... in a moment of utter madness!!!!!!!!!!...

So before i show a pic and say what it is...... remember the wife........

4 doors....... check
big boot.......check
economical......... hmmmmmmm

well i now own a mercedes E55 AMG!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o
354bhp, 390lbf/t..... 5.4l V8....... WOOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice cars...assuming it is a 1998. :)
Very fast cruiser with a nice sound from that V8.  
Depreciation on them is akin to an Omega, though I recall they were something like 60k new!

Fuel economy though!!  :o :o

Why brother was given one for a few weeks when his company were trying to sort out some of the issues with the sequential gearbox before it was released...

Fear is knowing you have to explain to the missus how you went out to buy a relatively sensible car for £2,100 and instead bought a ferociously fast car and not sensible by any stretch of the imagination for "quite a lot" more!  ;)

Oh and then you have to mention it requires a special towbar that will cost £400!



Afterthought.... please tell me it has the normal gearbox. That sequential thing was the stuff of nightmares!
