That wheel is screaming Vuaxhall at me but I can't pin down which I think it is if not a Vectra.

You'll probably get it from this...

Omega?

Ex Police?

Would indeed appear to be an Omega

Yep an Omega, not ex plod. It is an MV6 though which they used.

Here are some pics:-

Got to say at the moment I am dead chuffed. It zooms along the motorway effortlessly and in comfort! I'm still getting used to the car but it certainly seems to go around roundabouts pretty well considering its size!

It was an owners club car and although no leather (which I did want) it was too good a deal to let go. It does 25mpg and produces enough CO2 to put it in the highest bracket (trees die as I drive past).

It is a 2.6V6 and the MV6. Really impressed with how it drove coming back home, seemed to effortlessly eat the miles. Seats are supportive and yet still very comfy

Very nice mile muncher! A lot of taxi drivers around here used to have them (mostly the older models but a few that look similar to yours). I don't see them so often now (probably because I don't use taxis much either), but I had a few runs down to Heathrow in them and it was very pleasant indeed.

Heh, that thing is almost a hybrid in comparison to what I drive 3K-4K miles a month.

4.0L I-6, 3spd automatic transmission with overdrive, 4WD, 14mpg. I'd have to go get the smog certificate to see what it actually belches out. It's a full 3+ times the size of a Smart.

I'd give body parts to be able to drive something as nice as what you have there. :drool:

Whereas, I'd love to drive your Jeep, but with a 4.0l engine and UK fuel prices on the up.

I did borrow my mates Jag Sovereign 3.5l (or is it a 3.0?) a couple of months ago while my car was off the road, I had it for a week and I put the best part of 100quids worth of petrol in it

I am down two cylinders I must admit but it makes a nice noise when you open it up.

You beat me on the mpg front

I am surprised by only 3-speed transmission, thought it would have more for some reason. I would like to take out one of those Jeeps for a spin one day. It's now around £1.05 ($1.75) a litre here for petrol now and it's only ever going to go up
