Not yet! 

Johnnycboy has put his in the Cars for Sale box (along with Max and others) Colchester isn't that far from Albs

Indeed... I'm tempted to buy it for the LPG kit

Me too 

[hotel21]

Dibs already in.....

Dibs already in.....   

I must admit, I'm kind of regretting not asking how much when he rang me at lunch time But as I was on the way to collect one that appealed more I couldn't think about it

If you come down this way, be sure to let me know... There's a bed if you need it

[albitz]

I was also offered the car yesterday.I told JCB that the sort of offer I had in mind would probably be insulting to him and I wouldn't do that,so he should advertise it for sale instead. The offer I had in mind was around £500.
I would have bought it last night when I saw the ad,but swmbo is at the end of her tether with Omegas in various states of repair or dismantling cluttering up the place.
My plan was to hopefully soften her up a bit over the weekend and hopefully buy the car Monday. Of course I now wish I had offered £500 for it yesterday,and suffered the ear bashing,but he who hesitates.......

[MaxV6]

damn, i'd have bought that......


especially as my mv6 is Y284NAB

Q: Should I buy an Omega Estate?

A: No

Q: Should I buy an Omega Estate?

A: No

Would expect no less from a confirmed saloon addict

[MaxV6]

I always wanted a saloon,  but the practicality of the estate is a no brainer ....  when encumbered with large family,  and the need to carry equipment on a regular basis


or the need for a mobile shed.

Not to mention the uncanny ability to be able to run on lpg AND carry/store a double bed (or an hours shopping from Ikea) simultaneously 

[Lampynoiseboy]

Ikea???

Unlucky

[05omegav6]

Ikea???

Unlucky

Not me tf point is an lpg saloon struggles with both boot space and useability

Replace ikea with fence posts, doors, lengths of timber etc and the point stands

Besides, if TB had an estate, he wouldn't need the pikey loft extension to get all his hollibobs stuff in the car, which would make it easier for Mrs TB to load

[MaxV6]

almost no other car on the market can take 3.2 metre lengths of timber.....    or my 9ft step ladders,   without needing a roof rack .


or a king size mattress without folding it .

[Lampynoiseboy]

I can get 3m of 6"x6" trunking in a saloon.....no need for an estate.

How often do you move a matress??

[MR MISTER]

I took my zafira to Wickes to buy a 6'6" x 2'6" door. Back seats flat no problem, I thought. Wrong. I had to push the drivers sest so far forward thast I was driving with the steering wheel digging into my chest, very ungainly/unsafe.
Meanwhile, a guy in a passat saloon drops his back seats, opens the boot and pops the door in easily.

Hardly a surprise Zafira is shorter than an Astra estate...

Yes, all very well, but someone, namely TB put a bloody great big lpg tank across the back seat
