Silver Bullet
« on: 17 April 2013, 18:23:32 »
Reached a milestone yesterday. 200,000 miles.

I've never owned a 200,000 mile car before. Driven a fair fair that have felt they were 200k cars though ;D


Yet its still one of the best Omegas out there, if only I could fix that bloody oil leak. Its quick, handles very predictably, and is supremely comfortable.

TBE is around 73k at the moment I think. Fair to say, I never really gel'd with TBE, and that the Silver Bullet is the one I love...

TB, have you done compression tests on it.... any leakage? I couldn't believe how good my readings were.... 97k when I checked and they were as good (or as near as makes no difference) as new. very pleased

About 35k ago, when Kevin Wood, Gixer and I thought we'd shagged it.

...and presumably all of you hadn't shagged it. results good?
