I'm tempted to go and have a look at a fourth, which probably isn't any good either!  ::)

Remember - you only need 1 of them to be any good at any given time. :y

I could have done with one good one at 6.45 yesterday morning as I left for work.
Omega is currently minus its o/s/f suspension leg and sons Punto is SORN, but was parked in front of the Omega anyway.
I got in the 190 as usual to go to work and all I got when I turned the key was a click.
Got my trusty little booster pack, which never fails, and connected that up. It failed ! Engine turned slowly and that was it.
Took the battery off the Omega and connected that up via jump leads - it still wouldn't start.
I was now proper late for work, so rang the guy who had been there for 15 hours and explained things. He was not happy.
Out of desperation, I pushed it 20 yards or so to the top of a hill and rolled down the hill and knocked it into second.
It fired up and off I went. Havent felt so relieved in years. ::)

But if you didn't get caught nobody will know, so just pretend it didn't happen.  ;)

Never mind, just look on the bright side. You were lucky to find a buyer.  :)

I remember struggling to keep up with a Panda 4x4 in the 3.2 on some twisty mountain roads near lake Como. I was quite impressed, although its' progress was partly due it not having to yield to as much oncoming traffic due to its' diminutive size. It parked up at a village at the top of a particularly pleasant mountain pass and a Nun got out of the driver's side.  :D

But she was an Italian Nun, which is why you couldn't keep up with her.  ;) ;D
