No links but.....a nice looking black 3.2 a couple of miles from me,I've seen it a couple of times...looks good. The white 3.2,I had to go and make sure that some scrote had'nt been round and nicked my one and put up it for sale,that roof is going to need some work,got a feeling that's this one is going to end up being drifted to death :'(
-
The Black one does look good, I agree. Are you going to have a look then?
I smiled when I saw the white one, and understood your drifting thought....... ::)

Must be Gixer's, as he has now left us, obviously getting rid of any memories. ::) :y
-
It's very close to him.....seen a blonde female driving it. Thing is I'm feeling that it would be rude not to just ask about the cambelt etc,although SWMBO caught me looking at it,and gave me the usual death threat that I'm so used to these days ::)

Was quite pleasantly surprised yesterday... my former other white estate, which was recently back up for sale, is now for sale again in NI wearing NI plates...
The surprise being that it has be re policed with an RUC livery, and the add only mentions things like full service history from new (which it had when I sold it), and the overall condition rather than the usual 'diffing' crap that the 3.2s there normally suffer from :o
That white saloon is in a state though, but at least the ad is an honest one... that car needs work :-X

Surely you've realised that's an empty threat by now, and that she loves them too. ::)

Indeed, but only if 'it' means the car, rather than an euphemism for the blonde... ::)

No but he does say the body work is scruffy and that it needs most of the usual Omega jobs doing, which is a refreshing change... £500 was probably a fair price but see it's now almost at £900 :o

Are we meaning the black "51" reg, wasn't that an "03" last week. Or have I missed one, and got confused :-\

Didn't Chris have LPG on his and sure it was a '03' plate.

His car is an '03 ELITE with all the Irmscher bits and lpg, but otherwise just like that, yeah... :-X
Actually there are several people I could name with black facelift Omegas, maybe it's one of theirs ::)

are you referring to STMO'S unfortunate accident when he shit the bed?????
-
Now, that MV6 would look very nice on my drive in front of the black estate elite and I have a day off tomorrow. Price is top end but if it's a good one with cam belt history and all jobs done then £1795 sounds OK. Nitro you've seen it, is it worth the money ::)

Trying to provoke a former member into rejoining, but I suspect futile posturing rather than constructive efforts ::)

With the kit and the leather, you wouldn't loose money on it... even if it needs a few bits and pieces.
I would suggest the price is a relative steal... must be worth a day out to make sure that it's rust free and mechanically sound if you're interested :y

Futile yes, posturing no. Futile provocation is probably the term you are searching for Al. ;) :y
After all if he hasn't reared his ugly head after you suggested that his magnificent black Irmy Elite looks similar to my slightly shabby CDX with it's scrapes, scratches and £2.74 windscreen wipers, then he never will. :( :-\
Sigh! ::) ;D

Usual Omega bits...
Evidence of servicing, and by evidence I mean invoices, not a forged service book... Even a self maintained car will have some receipts... But looking for cambelt, wishbones, hbv, coolant condition, test everything to ensure it works as intended. Rust...wheel arches, door bottoms, front chassis legs. Drive it... Any clonks or knocks, odd handling traits, tyre wear. Do pedal trick... If this doesn't work suspect missing eml light.
Beyond that, usual second hand car stuff. Dvla vehicle check with reg and v5 number gives you Mot status, Vic marker ( if any), and Mot history and can all be done for free on a smart phone, so no excuses for not checking.

In part, yes. I make no apologies for the sentiment but might have phrased it better.
If Chris had wanted an autopsy on why he left, I'm sure his exit would have been far more flouncy.

Had to take the price down thou, bet he wishes he knew what an Irmscher kit was. You should of seen his face when I did the peddle trick. Then he said "are them wheels standard" this was after I had paid him a lot lower price than he wanted :y
