If I start earning that sort of cash, then I fear Mothers mortgage will be top of the list :-\

Yep. But I don't believe that anyone (in their right mind) paid that much.

Anything more than the £28,000-£30,000 mentioned and you open the door to some pretty tasty machinery.

A Vauxhall should be 'good value'..........at almost fifty grand it loses that advantage.

Tis nice though. :y :y

"At last, a TRUE Omega Estate replacement!"

I actually got very excited then, expecting a HUGE powerful estate. Hmmmm . . . not so huge.

If someone came up with a modern Omega sized car, in terms of rear load area without stupid angled rear doors etc, I'd buy one. today ( errr. . . . . . not at £49k though). I don't really care about "fast", just some decent grunt and big carrying ability.

I'm seriously beginning to think about my next car, and a new shape 2.3 Mondeo Estate is looking like a front runner

 In my humble opinion £49,000 is crazy money for a mere Vauxhall.......having said that The Lotus Carlton cost £48,000 way back in 1990.

I bought a house that year.......a three bed semi with a garage. Cost £41,000. :o :o :o

That's where you went wrong Mr Opti ::)

If you only spent £21k on a house, you would've had £20k for a nice mint Carlton and change for a Monaro daily driver :y

Hindsight and all that ::)
