fatharris Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Bristol has been and gone, poo count to 2, tried buying chewing gum and the self service machine threw a wobbly.

fatharris Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 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!

rantingYoof Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 It will all go well. When it all goes well it'll be a frugal and very relaxing cruise back to your end of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Vauxhall Omega estate. Diesel, for the German part. (I was already thinking about an Omega estate, but then you mentioned Greek and that totally gave it away). fatharris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatharris Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 It is indeed, just over an hour to go before I meet the sellers brother who is picking me up from the station in...

Supernaut Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Is it manual or auto? If it's a manual, I hate you. Those straight 6 diesels sound awesome! John F and fatharris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 My research* reliably informs me that the Omega saloon is possibly a silver Elite. At least it has an Elite spoiler, so unless it's a Reflection special edition which came with the same spoiler UR IN 4 A TREET M9. I am in no way F5ing this thread.

Cavcraft Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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.

andy18s Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 If it is Bank Top Industrial Estate then that's completely the other way from Gobowen station. It's on the outskirts of the village St Martin's,which is halfway between Oswestry and Chirk... Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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?

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.

dougiefourspeed Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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! eddyramrod, Brodders and KWhite 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
