She is going
« on: 16 January 2011, 15:52:17 »
Well, after many years of owning many Omegas (Since 1995) i have finally driven my last one, she is now up for sale, all the Irmscher full body kit including the wheels and back box will go with her, i would more than likely get more by selling the kit separatly but must let her go in one piece.
Now looking whats out there to compete with the Omega, i know there are plenty but its what your used to and the Omega has been a very faithfull car over the years and never been let down by one. :-[ :-[ :'(

Well that does make sense!

I must say that since driving one at Millbrook, I fancy the 2.8i V6 24v Turbo 4x4 Elite Auto Saloon.  I should think that would meet your needs for pulling a pikey wagon, sorry, caravan! :D :D ;)

New SAAB 95 2.8 V6 Turbo 300 BHP although only with an auto which I'd want changed but  :-* :-* :-*

The new 95 though is one gorgeous car.

Nice car true enough but personally I prefer to tow with a rear wheel drive car.
Vectra 2.8 V6 Turbo 4wd is exactly the same engine as the Saab but the one I took around millbrook wasn't a patch on a 3.2 Omega and was bloody cramped for someone my height.

Hate to say it but when I look to change (which won't be for a while!) the only car that I like the look of is the current 5 Series.....

Just seen the pics and stunning looking car.  I will also be moving on very shortly to something else and will miss mine when it goes - have considered keeping it but it will just sit on the drive and be another car to wash at weekends.  Good luck with the sale and the new car  :y

4 wheel drive SAAB 95 2.8 would be a great tow car. I can't recommend the 5 Series highly enough, I'm getting another once I've sold this one.

Didn't realise it was 4WD.  :)

Slightly stretched Insignia chassis on looking it up. Seems to have a better dash (not as wrapped around as the Insignia one which made it feel very cramped to me).

F10 is lovely, cancelled my X5 and plan to order a f10 535d when the 11 plate comes out :) I'll be getting an 07/08 530d next with a slush box. I need a comfy car now and fuel economy, M3 must go  :'(
