Newbie Welcome Area / Re: Back Once again - 5th Omega - The latest project

« on: Today at 11:32:49 »

Hi Sam, welcome back. I remember you and your DTi.
You came down to Essex to buy some parts from me years ago, when I was breaking Omegas.
Sounds like all you need to do now is pull the fuse for the self levelling pump. Not much point in removing it imo.
You should check the rear springs youve bought though. You may well have been supplied with springs for an Elite, which will be too soft for standard shocks.

Cant seem to find them. Thanks.

In 1978 just after I passed my driving test Iwas stopped by two coppers for having a tail light out.
Near the end of the conversation the Sarge then added that I had been speeding and he was doing me for it.
I knew I hadnt been speeding. I was in an HB Viva in thick fog on a road I had never seen before.
I told him this and they both just looked at me smugly and said its our word against yours. 

1st April 2009 I was on two wheels on the M11, speed varying between 120 and 140.
A batenburged Volve came flying down the road behind me on blues & twos and when level pointed for me to pull over.
My life flashed before my eyes. I knew I was going to lose my licence. 
I had recently lost my job of 20 years which was close to home, but found another one 17 miles away, with no options for buses or trains for commuting.
After scaring the bejaysus out of me and informing me they had me at 125, the Copper had a bit of a chat and finished up with "this country is in a shit enough state these days without me taking a blokes livelyhood away from him. If you promise me you will slow down , I will call it 95 and you will get a £60 fine and three points. Are you happy with that ?" 
Needless to say I thanked him most profusely.

So it all balances out in the long run I suppose.

Of course they could turn out worse, (although it would be hard to be worse than this lot) but we know for a fact that the others are utter shite, and have been for over thirty years,  so bearing in mind their general direction of travel is the right one, its worth giving them a chance in my opinion.

I don't find the card per-se to be the issue - as others have said we have driving licenses, passports, NI numbers etc. For me the issues are...

1) Are we required to carry it at all times? Or is it like a driving license - you've got 3 days to get down the cop-shop with it?
2) Who can 'demand' to see it?
3) If I get attacked by a great white lesser spotted Somerset squirrel and am bleeding to death, are they going to demand to see the card before treating me?

Anyone who thinks this is going to stop illegal immigrants getting jobs or claiming benefits is an idiot, who will probably be voting Reform at the next election anyway so there is zero political capital for Labour in introducing it. Barking, the lot of them.

The only people who might possibly believe this will stop illegal immigration etc. etc. will be the hard of thinking who vote Labour.
No one who votes Reform will be taken in by this nonsense. Or indeed the nonsense the Tories spouted for fourteen years.
Thats why they vote Reform instead of the two parties who have run the country into the ground.

Cost of repair ?
Value when selling it ?
Never going to be worth the bother unfortunately.

Just do what old people do: Don't go online and keep all of your money in cash at home. Bullet proof.

Until they abolish cash. The plan wont work while cash is still legal tender.

It seems likely that Oracle will be involved (as well as Blairs son ? ) in the scheme as the owner is a very good friend of Blairs.
He gave Blairs foundation a huge amount of money - £275 million if my memory serves.

That's a bit Liberal Leftie, Sir Varche

And I suspect not a big deterrent, as they would try again next week.  If their boats were sunk by the RN 9 miles out, it would be a big deterrent to those who managed to swim back, and a non-issue for those that didn't


Yours faithfully,
Far right Wing Thug

Fixed that for you.

Suffolk ? Never lived there in my life.
Im a couple of miles inside Essex. 

Its not often my Omega sees a major A road these days, so I get great pleasure from driving it on them when I do get the chance.

Havent done anything to it, but staying at Walton on the Naze at the moment and been driving it 40 miles each way to work the last couple of days.
Its still a superb motorway mile muncher even at 23 years old and 202000 miles.

You must have a long commute if you're hitting a motorway from Walton on the Naze.

Fair comment Kevin. 
By Motorway, I actually meant A120 / A12 to Hatfield Peverel.
