hang on, type 222021320662 into ebay  - this £490 sold listing looks very similar to the £3,500 auction one.  nice profit for a wax and polish, new plates, fancy photoshoot and an MOT

he never even bothered to give it a clean

If I had seen that at the time - at that price- I would have bought it. Although I suspect a lot of other people would have done the same.
I loved my 24v Senator, and have always had the idea of another one in the back of my mind.
Would have to convert to digidash though. Its a must.

This was up for sale on the autotrader last week for £1250

I'm sure tunnie and I proved that a bog standard 3.0l auto Omega could outrun a 24v Senator.  Not oodles in it to be fair, but the Omega definitely won, even with a failed HG

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Presumably the Senator was being driven by Tunnie ,who according to many posts on here drives like Miss Daises great granny ? 
I have driven many V6 Omegas  and Im pretty certain My 24v Senator would have outrun all of them.

He was flat out. It was a straight piece of (private, obviously) tarmac. I'd always maintained, after removing the rose tinted glasses, the Omega was quicker, although tunnie anf others always disagreed. That was our opportunity to prove it.

I reckon the multiram's smoothness over the 24v dual ram made the Omega seem less anxious.

We need Webby to do a 0-60 comparison test

wikipedia says the 24V 3.0 senator engine had 201bhp, 3.0 migs have 214bhp. senator slightly lighter.  apparently there was a 4.0l one though, 268bhp .

Well...as Harry Hill says ''there's only one way to settle this''  So why not arrange something like they have up at Bruntingthorpe where we can rag the cars and have a day out, or a RWYB at Santa Pod which would probably be better for accurate timings and a flat out run over the quarter, car on car

But who will bring the MX5 to beat them all?

Somebody with a sister or a gay friend.
