Bye bye omega.
« on: 03 March 2008, 23:23:22 »
The time has come to start stripping all the goodies off my elite and put it all back to standard stuff as moving back to the dark side as in back to fwd.
My Elite has been a brilliant work horse for towing my track car around but were it is a saloon it was a bit of a pain getting the wheels and tools all in.
I have'nt gone completley mad tho as still sticking with vauxhall in the shape of a vectra GSI estate.
I will still be on the site as you have all made me feel welcome.
Good bye bertha.

Soon to be up for sale.
And hello new unamed thing.

Its still in the sorting out things for it's mot stage.
I will put up some better pics once all cleaned up and alloys are back on.
Cheers
chris.

I think there was some thing like 500 or so made in this colour.It should be dark blue but a bit green and mouldy at the mo lol.
Weve just fitted a new 30k lump into it after this happened to the last owner.

God, i've always liked the look of those GSi estates, there's a certain rarity to them ey? But that wheel would drive me MAD!!!  :y

What's non standard about your omega then mate? I would also have to agree you have to buy an omega estate to partner the veccy  8-)
