Sold OMeGa roffle! Now collected!

[chatsharris]

I should add, she is ace though and won't actually do that! She knows I've been after a project car for years and this is a really good one to start my shite fettling career on.

[Sigmund Fraud]

Gutted.

Was i the only person lusting after a broken Saab?

 

This is AS, man ! Most of us really wanted the SAAB !

 

Perhaps a re-roffle is the way forward ?

[djoptix]

Isn't chatsharris having it? If not I'm quite tempted to try and talk Mrs Optix into it...

[Arthur Foxhake]

I'd buy more Saab roffle tickets like a shot.

Many, in fact.

[CortinaDave]

Ah I quite fancied a couple of numbers on this but kept forgetting to ask. Ha!

I'm very keen. Future wife? Not so keen, but I think she's coming around to the idea. I'm just trying to do a bit of research into the running issue to see if it's within my capabilities. At the moment it's looking like I may just crack it!

[djoptix]

Good stuff. Go for it. Dibs when you sell it

Go forward good Squire and reap all of the win.

 

I really wanted to win that Saab.

Unfortunately, that was the only way I could have got it past Domestic Management without castration.

 

Godspeed sir.

There is another way.

 

Lie...

[chatsharris]

The Long Haired General will find out.

 

They always do.

 

I've emailed Ceri and gone for it. I can't wait to get back to the UK and receive this beaut.

[Saabnut]

Spares for old Saabs available at shiters prices if you ask nicely!

 

Seriously, I have LOTS of Saab parts.......

[chatsharris]

I'll definitely be keeping you in mind!

[Christine]

The tension builds ...!

Will Gigglepin manage to get to Coventry ,and get the mighty Omega V6   home and hidden away ,  before mrs Gigglepin gets back from holiday          She doesn't know....  

[Christine]

Text from Gigglepin !

 

He's on the train just getting to Rugby....

  His first train was 5.30am from Brighton..  

 Go,Doug , go..

[worldofceri]

[worldofceri]

Mr Gigglepin landed in Cov bright and early and is already on his way back south...

 

Chod speed, Sir.  Another Autoshiteist who's a pleasure to meet.

 

Bye bye Wyatt 'Urp...

 

[rantingYoof]

There are relatively few cars capable of nomming the miles between Rugby and Brighton as easy as a six cylinder Omega.

 

Nicely done gigglepin!

[Christine]

Txt  incoming ,  Gigglepin is back in sunny Sussex ! 

[gigglepin]

was a pleasure to meet worldofceri this morning..and the car pretty much flew home..was very difficult to keep to the speed limit...i then dove it to hastings to trim 2 donkeys..that's when i found the S button on the top of the gear selector....S for sport...much fun down the lanes 

[CortinaDave]

Omegas are the last of the vauxhalls that I actually like! lovely big motors

here it is . briefly . a rose between two thorns ,,before i took it over to park at my parents place

[worldofceri]

 

Looks kinda badass with the centre caps removed.

 

Before leaving for the journey southwards, Gigglepin sensibly wanted to check that the locking wheelnut key was both present and the correct one, you know, in case of a puncture or whatever. Of course, in eleven months of ownership I had never taken any such precaution, and was forced to admit I'd never even had the wheels off. Cue breaking the special centre cap removal key on the first attempt at getting one off. Had to resort to tapping the bolts round with a hammer and old screwdriver.

Looks like a great car. I'm loving mine. I prefer the interior of pre-face lift one like yours if I'm honest.
