• No fun. 8 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  We can trace the decline produced family sized cars back to this point with larger blue collar models like the Omega, Vectra, Mondeo etc etc plummeting in demand as fleets sought to avoid the painful depreciation they suffered from. It’s also when we seen the decline in advertising spending. In the 80’s and 90’s we had a UK car show and smaller shows like the Scottish car show at the SECC along with small regional shows but today there’s nothing promoted by the manufacturers. Another dose of fun removed.

• Removing remains of LIFE from metallic paint 3 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  The seem innocuous enough I suppose, fluting and creating a din as you listen through the open window at 5am, trying to gain consciousness with the help of a strong coffee. That`s the thing about the current heat wave.. SOUND. The town hall clock strikes five - so you know the wind is from the East, due to the volume and clarity. It`s the `nature hour.` Soon there will be the reciprocating metal roaring and snorting as engines fire up on driveways and the mammals get on with blasting their behemoths along the stained tarmac of the outer lane.
• Omega MV6 hesitation on acceleration 5 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  replaced with a new one by Vauxhalls - but problem has crept back recently. There are no strange lights on the warning systems, no diagnostics come up when she?s serviced.
