Title: No more Omegas
Post by: Martin_1962 on 14 January 2014, 21:25:14
20th December on the way home from work the car in front of me swerved into oncoming traffic, hit an oncoming car which spun into the side of mine.

Sill bent, B pillar bent, looks like A pillar bent.

Will be getting an off roader now as there is nothing else around I line that I can afford.

Shoulder still hurts as well.

Only 164,000 miles as well and only 13 years old.

Could have been a lot worse, Martin, glad you're not too badly hurt.

Has the compensation set in yet?  ::)

Still doesn't cover the cost of love and attention given to your pride and enjoy, especially after 9 years!!  :(

Sorry to hear that Martin. Sad loss of another Omega. At least it gave its life to save yours . . .

Best car I have ever owned

Opps, sorry to hear that.  I wrote her little Rover off nearly 2 years ago, lucky to walk away from it if I'm honest, so I feel for you.

But, a bit of bent tin can be replaced :)
