Anyone noticed SOTW on pistonheads http://www.pistonheads.com/regulars/ph-features-sheds/shed-of-the-week-vauxhall-omega-v6/32513

[Diamond Black Geezer]

It's a pretty complementary, non-biased article, and doesn't criticise the old girl too much (and rightly so) but it always makes me chuckle when I see a report about a used car in the sub-£1000 category.. or even sub £500 category, when they then say things like 'the tax per year is nearly half the cost of the whole car' etc.. well of course it is! That's because the thing's so bleedin' cheap in the first place! 

On the other hand they could/should be saying things like 'This car is the cost of a new wing, respray and fitting for your Insignia, or whatever'. Or 'this entire car is for sale at the same price that your nice shiny new car car will lose in depreciation in the next 3 months, sir/madam; And guess what? In a year this Omega will still be worth the same £600'
