Yep, I know how you must have felt when you had to let it go - like losing a family member! Time to move on though and yes, we must catch up over a few beers sometime Paul. Cheers mate.
By the way, where was that pic taken?

[paul.lovejoy]

the pic was the origonal advert from vauxhall all those years ago

mind you though mondeo's a nice motor bet you notice the fuel benifits. I ve not even used my omega since newent been so busy just been driving my van.

was going to try and make the high wycombe meet but jane had to work

a beer sounds like a very good idea will have to try and make some arrangments for the new year would be great to see you all

Sorry Laura, not intentional. To be honest I'm just glad it's gone to friends on the forum that will really appreciate her.
Took Tim back to his RAF base in Suffolk yesterday and the Mondeo runs really well and really notice the difference in fuel consumption, so mission accomplished in that respect.

Well done to Bob, James and Ljay for keeping one of the best Omegas on the forum in the family Bob, I know how much you loved the MV6 and I know you'll miss it but you can at least see it and the forum meets and when you decide to get yourself up north for a couple of proper drinks, there's no excuse now you've got the old oil burner

I think i've decided to let my diesel go as i've now got a Discovery that will run on WVO so its going to cost me about £5.60 a tank, it was hard to make the choice which one must go and i'll be sorry to see the old bus drive off into the distance because i've put a lot of blood and sweat into getting it how I wanted it but needs must. Isn't it funny how you become attached to certain cars

Cheers Pete, yeah you do get kind of attached to certain motors. Yes, must get a weekend sorted out as we're long overdue for a beer or ten!! Laura and James mentioned it when they came down at the weekend so looks like it could turn into a bit of an alcoholic mini meet.

I was talking to them both a about it few days before their journey down south. We're only a couple of miles outside Chester and I went for a practice run a few weeks ago. Got the bus in at 1pm and was back to my local by 9pm a bit worse for wear

It's been a while Bob but i'll hold my own ............................ and yours if you get me drunk enough

Congrats Mr and Mrs Jimbob on your new purchase. It sounds like a pampered minter....

When I was sorting out all the service history I was looking at how much I'd spent over the last 4.5 years in service, maintenance and repairs and it was a few grands worth IIRC!!

Not suprised!  Ive given the car a good check over today and found very little to do!

Ive fixed a tiny coolant leak where someone had used a cable tie instead of hose clip on the header tank.
All filters look in good condition, will be changing the fuel and air filters, giving it an oil service, and new wiper blades all round, and a new glovebox handle.

All brake components seem fine, all ecu's are happy (codes logged in HID Ecu from when the sensor broke previously)  All in all, seems a well maintained car. Thanks again Bob

Stunning car. I can appreciate how hard it must have been.
