Should we as OOF be buying up all the Omegas to preserve

Starting to really feel like they're rocking horse shit on the roads.

But on eGay there's a load.

Seriously considering at least another one in case one day in the not too distant future we wake up and they're all gone.

Ive had 9 of them (I think) which is quite enough thanks. After Ive finished with the current one, they can all go to the crusher as far as I'm concerned.
They are a good and under rated car, but they aren't a Bugatti Royale or Ferrari Daytona.

Preserve them? You mean like putting them in jars and pickling them? ;D ;D

There’s a champagne Elite on eBay mini facelift and I would if I had the money, space and time to care for it and my 99 built facelift!
There will come a time soon when you will see the odd one at a car show but you don’t see Scorpio cosworths now and they were about at roughly the same time. who knows, it could be a talking point in the future?

You boys are hilarious.

But seriously there will come a time as pmacca says that you'll only ever see the odd one at car shows. And that's quite sad.

As said money dictating (as it always does) I'm going to invest in another.

Webby, buy a few and drive em over. I will store them for free in a nice dry environment. Might be an idea to insure them so I can give them a run now and then. 3.2 manual first.
