somewhere around that figure would buy my Omega (2.5 V6 Elite estate)

it's definitely going up for sale and if possible, will be sold without a fault, long MOT and best part of a year's tax

pm me if interested - but I don't think I'll get round to fettling it for a few weeks

Chilled you can buy mine if you like. 900 quid and its a 1995 Ghia, air con, electric, windows, mirrors, sun roof, seats doors. Drives great , bar sometimes its a bit hesitant so may need a new maf sensor. I have just put a new pioneer cd player in it and pioneer custom 250 watt speakers 2 weeks ago. I have also spent 700 quid on it 2 months ago having full service and a new cat convertor.(have all receipts) In fact borrow it for the weekend if you like and bring it back if you don't want it. Its a great barge of a car and crusies on motorway at high speeds with ease. 5 speed manual and over 30 to gallon. I use the porka every day now so hardly use it. 118,000 miles 2 litre zetec engine. taxed and MOT till august.

let me know if you are interested , you can have it weekend and spend that 1000 you save on some more track days

 

You two need to be closer. It'll cost me as much in petrol to come visit as it will to buy a better car I'm a Northern monkey. (Leeds)

 

Ah I thought you was a Southerner

 

Get out! How dare you sully me with a's that aren't hard, and pronouncing aitches?

 

Subframb bushes can be an issue but PowerFlex ones are only

True, apparently the old ones can be a real pain to get out. The worse condition they are in the easier they should come out.
