Post by: mark3 on 09 August 2013, 16:14:38
Well so you all know the outcome after the under bonnet fire and after 7 years of ownership the Omega has gone,

I couldn't be assed to strip the bits off i fitted only a while ago so i weighed it in for scrap taking only the additional boot space light, K & N air filter and the radio/dash display out of it as they was all quite new and could be removed in seconds, local guy gave me £200 for it and im transferring the private plate to the new work car, a Nissan Stagea RSfour which should be a lot more fun to drive (soon to be 300HP) than the Omega, and if anyone don't know them there basically a Nissan Skyline estate with 4x4, im very pleased  :y

You can still stay on as a member.

Was that a powersounder fire by any chance?

I like the look of that Nissan. Never heard of one but then I do lead a sheltered life. ;D
