It should be in his contract to daily drive every car he's ever been involved in but only used examples with over 100k on them. That might up his game.
I'm fairly certain the useless retard has retired now.

In that case, every time one breaks it should be towed to his house and dumped across his porch. ;)

Which would effectively mean me donating the car to the useless idiot ;D

Nearly £300 poorer, but genuine part on order, should be delivered midweek (CBA to drive to dealer and back, what with the abortion that's HS2, plus the M1 junction improvements).

Dropped my Omega in for it's yearly prod and poke by MOT tester .
It passed  :)
with one advisory for wear on the inner edge of O/S/R tyre  ::)
plenty of tread left ,but the tester is very strict .
my rear tyres always wear on the inner edge due to the weight of the bodies in the boot  :P
 
I'll be swapping to the winter wheels soon anyway #ICE-AGE forecast  :P

sod all on emissions ,just like an EV then, but without the horrendous depreciation >:D

Then I dropped the 2002 Astra G 1.4 petrol hatch in for test
that passed ,no advisories  :)

Oh, I don't know, most Omegas lost 90% of their value in the first 7 years :o


Congrats on the MOTs :y

Well done on the passes. On the upside, Omega values are going up..... apparently.

Hmmm, part of the reason I got the 530D, more profit to be made on expenses claims due to the MPG of a Diesel. That said, I do still give the Omega a blast every so often, well one of them  :-[

:y
I use my Omega pretty much every day .
high RFL and fuel offset by NO depreciation  ,
I appreciate that an Omega as a 'daily' is not for most people these days ....
but .... It's comfy, practical and it works for me  :)

I still think the Omega is hard to beat, even as a daily.  Particularly the 3.0l which was pretty economical when not caned, and even the 2.5 for the Miss Daisy's.

Not sure I'd want a (non LPG) 3.2 as a daily, due to appalling economy, and the 2.6 is just a dog in every way.
