Most unusual recruiting
« on: 26 August 2006, 10:04:30 »
On my way back from the Passport office in Liverpool yesterday, having left there at 4pm I went straight into the worlds worst traffic jam on the M6. There I was sitting in traffic in my little Gold Corsa when I noticed an Omega going past me.

I wondered if the driver might be any of us, so when I got a chance to get along side him further down the road, I wound down the window and gave him a polite 'beep'. Nice guy looked a bit surprised when this nutter shouted across 'Are you on the Omega owners forum?' What? he must have thought? No. You should be I think I said. OMEGAOWNERS DOT COM, I managed to get out before I was hooted from behind to move along.

You never know I thought. Nice looking Mega with sennie wheels. And a friendly guy. Yep, he'll probably join.

Well, I was gobsmascked when this morning Laidback told me he had. http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1156543005/0#5

So, Is there a prize for the strangest place to recruit new members? I mean, the outside lane of the M6 in rush hour must rank as one of the most unusual! ;D

Anyway, if you get a chance guys, make him feel welcome.

I think I forgot to mention. The pug is gone, gone, gone. Hoooooray!!!!! px'd it for a 2003 Corsa 1.2 Club. Nice little car, drives brilliantly and I am very pleased with it. One owner, 29k, full VX history, 6 months NetworkQ warranty and I got a deal I was happy with.

Here is a piccy:

Simple. The pug was un-sellable without spending about £500 on it. NetworkQ had a car they wanted to get rid of, so did I . It meant that the Corsa cost me £1500 + the pug basically. Remember, the pug was effectively free.

So, I end up with a 2003 Corsa for £1500. I'm happy with that.
