Bigyeti saying hello
« on: 29 May 2007, 19:39:29 »
Hello all.
Looking at getting an Omega.  I found this site from a reference in laidback66's sale of a rather tidy green Elite.

Anyone have any experience with an LPG converted car?  I think it's the only way I could afford to run one tbh, but having 3 teenage kids I need a large car that they'll all fit in the back of.

Regards
Mark

:DHello Yeti. A migs got as much room as you need. Regarding gas do'nt know much but i believe the system needs a 6 monthly inspection on top of your mot. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Welcome to the forum Yeti :)

Now it is funny you should mention LPG Omega.... ;)
Myself and Marks DTM Calib (the all knowing one) will shortly be selling a lovely Elite estate with full sequential system. :)

Our resident LPG expert is Martin Imber, who can answer any questions you may have on LPG.

There are a few people on here who are running LPG cars. Omegas seem to run very well on it.

That sale might just coincide with my bank coughing up my bank charges within the next 7 days or so   ;D

I did buy a Citroen XM, another situation where you get a lot of car for your money, however it was a bit too much 'project' and not enough 'transportation', so it's going to be broken for eBay fodder to feed the XM fanatics.

Checked the spec and it seems that the Omega is a good 8 inches longer than the XM, so when I finally get one it'll have to go in the street because these council garages were built in the days of Ford Anglias, Minis and Hillman Avengers.    ;D

Citroen XM. Lovely car... when they work... :(
Fantastic ride. Always was a big fan of the hydro-pneumatic setup.
Had a Citroen BX 16v (phase 1 car). Still the finest handling front wheel drive thing I ever had.
Absolutely awesome handling and brakes! Didn't half shift over 4k rpm too... 8-)

As for our estate.. it will be a couple of weeks yet. Engine done (everything!) and running sweet. Now got to give a full clean and polish inside and out then off for new MOT.

Great car, frightening amount (in money spent) of history for it, including 2.5k lpg intall!

Is it going on eBay or planning on selling it elsewhere?  What happened to the green one if you don't mind me asking.

It will go on ebay. :)

The green elite was sold to a nice couple a few miles away from me.

I'll keep an eye out for it.  :)

To stop my wife pestering me, can I ask what year it is?
