Wish my friends, family and colleagues would agree, those of the Shite persuasion understand, the rest of them think I've taken leave of my senses.

 

Just spotted a sunroof in the advert pictures, which will come in handy today, it's ruddy gorgeous out there, getting more and more excited to pick this up now!

The best diesl engine they had, later (2.2) ones not as good imho. Getting the train to Oswestry is a nightmare, as the station (Gobowen) is a few miles away, iirc. Is the car at Bank Top Industrial Estate? The units look very familiar.

For the record, posting a picture of the purchase price was what led me straight to the car in question - there were only a handful of cars finished at £320 this month and this was the only one that day. You shouldn't have told me you were changed going trains as I was a bit confused at that point!

 

Looks nice though. I'm assuming it's not the ex Wobbler one?

That's where Linstrand and Branson put the high altitude balloon together all those years ago in a large airship hanger

May still be there as it's a privately owned airstrip

 

There was a track day place there for go-karts, iirc. There was also a Volvo specialist with a decent collection of old choddy ones outside, plus a couple of 1970's Scanias not too far away. Did you ever go to the bike breakers on Bank Top, Andy?

Some good work going on here. I wanted an Omega ever since I used to watch them on Road Wars, usually at about 2 AM when I'd come back from the pub half cut. I always thought those V6's sounded great chasing a nicked moped round some awful industrial estate in Slough.

 

Closest I ever came was a Vectra GSi. Nice car but not quite the same.

 

Top purchasing anyway, the 2.5 derv is meant to be GR31!
