Title: The new explod
Post by: dazzerM on 19 April 2013, 22:03:34
Having always liked the look of the estate, this one turned up only 3 miles from my doorstep

A low mileage MET example, it would have been rude not to :)

Yes it was a met collision investigation unit, that's why it left after 7 years with a measly 62k on the clock  :)

Thank all

Already got a shopping list as long as my arm for it.. Being in explod spec it gives you a such a blank canvas to work with  :)

Body work wise it is bar far the cleanest Omega I have owned, my old ex plod was clean but this is in a different league  :y

The estate bug bit my hard a couple of years ago, thanks to Twiglet  ;) just seems such a rare site to see a nice one on the road now

If a good one comes up snap it up, your only down the road from me too so any bits you don't want on it and all that  ;D ;D ;D

I'm looking for a facelift police spec drivers seat may be the passenger seat to, if you change the interior can you give me a shout. Also if you fit the prodrive bumper can I have first call on your old bumper :y

No need to dance around   ::)

It was me & i've gone over enough plod cars to see they are butchered generally  ;) Don't judge a book from its cover from bullets left in the car, holes in the dash to some tunnie style bodges to wiring looms hidden away plod mechanics are not the most careful.

They a hoot to drive with LSD though, as Josh let me try one of his  :D

That one does look a fine example on the outside at least, which is quite rare  :)

I welcome all opinions, feedback, comments, shared knowledge etc

That's why I come on here, if we all agreed on everything it would be a pretty boring existence   ;) :y

Look forward to seeing progress  :y

Think there are some Estate MV6 Leather seats in parts section now, not Elite but still nice upgrade  :)

Also worth having a hunt around front wheel arches, been known for them to leave the odd police siren in  :D

Having been round to the sellers again this evening, it was mutually agreed not to proceed with the sale

If anyone wants any specific info on it or thinking of viewing in the event it comes up again please PM me to avoid any potential ramifications to the seller as he is a nice bloke :'(
