The Mig Started.
« on: 10 February 2008, 21:47:27 »
This Omega was bought, in September,  to replace our old one for swmbo, unfortunately it had a few problems and  sat on the drive, just doing the odd Tip Run till end October when the Tax ran out, now sorn. All that bad weather, snow wind and cold.   :(
Meanwhile swmbo is still running around in my old Galant V6 24v and it may prove difficult getting her out of it.  :( :(
This was all before I found oof, never realised how much value was in the old one. :'( :'( :'(
Anyway, I digress, put a battery charger on for a couple of hours today and decided to turn the key, fired up straight away, well impressed. ;D ;D ;D
Lovely clean car; 1998 66,600 and everything, except for a shiny steering wheel, suggests the mileage to be genuine, even MOT’s if this was clocked it was done so at a very early age.
I will go into details on it’s problems in the help section as these treads seem to often go off subject, in my experience.  :) :) :)
