Not at all mate. Used to live there for 2 years and would never move there again. It's like a small London - too many cars, too many people in old post-industrial town.

TB - oh yes it was. Here in Basingstoke it started to rain just after 7 when there was snow still on the road. But anyway - what have you been doing that far from your place?

I arrived in Reading around 8am, going up the 'old' A33 from M4 to centre, think its now called the Basingstoke Rd.  Had to dart off through one of the housing estates around there.  Was just slushy, not the compacted snow/ice we had in Brackley...

Couple of DNS servers needed the worlds fastest Linux build (as in how long it took to install, rather than suggesting Redhat is in any way 'brisk' ;D) slapped on...

Sorry guys and gals, had to remove myself off the list   :-[  Gutted   :'(

The good news is though that I've been invited to an assesment centre on that day for a Student Paramedic job   :)

Hopefully next time...

I sold my MIG to Stuart30 as I fancied a 4x4. However the Jeep Cherokee I bought proved too expensive to run so I sold that on and bought a 2.0l Mondeo Ghia X. Actually not a bad car, although some Omega Owners won't see that.

Thanks

What mark is it? II or III? I must say that Mondeo is much better than Vectra (B and C) and (MKIII) is just little below Omega status (for me).
I was really surprised to find legroom space at the back similar to what Omega offers. At the front there's also a lot of space. Hatchback hasn't got the biggest boot but estate is quite impressive. It's a comfy car as well and because the last good example of Vx/Opel were Omega/Vectra B, my next car will be Ford Mondeo.
I just don't know where GM is going - Astra is getting smaller and Vectra is tiny and is less reliable than any French car (and so expensive to fix).
Well, anyway, Mondeo is a nice car. :)

Yes, I agree mkaminski100. The Omega changed my opinion of what I thought would be a big Vectra and suprised me with how good it was.

In a similar manner, the Mondeo has suprised me at how good it is. Mine is a 1999 Mk2 saloon and as it seems like quite a good one, I intend to leep it until the right car comes along, be it Omega or not...

What I am suprised at is how rude people can be about a car. I turned up at the last meet wanting to talk about Marti's new gem, but after an hour was spent slagging my Jeep off, I was a bit disheartened. Now, it is the turn of the Mondeo.

Don't get me wrong, the Omega is a good car, but it's just that, a good car, not the only car on the road....

Jesus, get over it!!!
