Typical American...
« on: 03 April 2013, 03:00:47 »
Just found this fairly new video on YouTube some little hot shot (probbably still in diapers) pretty much running down the Catera/Omega on everything.. I did I hear him say the Omega is Small and comparing it to a 3 series and C class  :o ::) ;D

Can't see anything wrong with that video, in the US it was a flop and in the market over there it is a small car.  Plus that one seems to be very tired for 71k and he rightly pointed all the faults out.

Oh, and remember that we do have some Americans on the forumas well as one or two who may soon become 'Typical Amercians' ::) :y

Good video.  At least the glove box opened  ::) He was mostly correct sadly, although I doubt if it was a full size spare wheel.
I like the shiny rims, definately a plus point.  :y
Any badly maintained vehicle will exhibit those signs, it's up to people to look after them properly.  :-\
I suspect this one was'nt, thats probably why it went to auction.
It had three keys  :o  how cool is that . . .  ::)

I worked for a company a few years ago that had US Ford Econoline vans and the BING BING BING used to drive me up the pole!!!  >:(  The Omega's "Beeeeee..." is mildly irritating in comparison.  ::)  ;)
