Fantastic looking car John, I would have given my right arm to have a car as good as that when I was 21, I think at that age I was driving a Mk 1 Escort, with a Flintstones-style floorpan  ;D

Welcome to the forum  :y

Jon

All I will say to that Jon, is that I work bloody hard for my money. I enjoy my nights out obviously, but i'd rather spend my free cash saving aside for my cars & bits etc, or work weekends for extra money instead of pissing it up the wall! TBH, insurance & purchase cost weren't a factor, its the fuel costs i'm dubious about; the only realistic consideration to factor is my Calibra was a second car (alongside my Vectra C) - so £140 Vectra finance + £80 Vectra Insurance + £110 Calibra Insurance + Fuel costs for the month means technically running the Omega is cheaper than previous experiences, even using it on a daily basis  ;D My commute is only 16 miles round trip daily anyway...

On that note though, I must admit i've had plenty of sheds! I think this is car 32 in 4 years!! (I've lost count  :o )

Hi John, Welcome to the OOF..  ;)

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

Hi John,

Cracking looking car - what a bargain!

I know what you mean about fuel consumption. I get 24.2 mpg average from my 2.5 auto, but it's worth every penny!

Enjoy the forum.
