Time for Oscar to Say Goodbye :(

oscar olop gti · Post by **oscar olop gti** » Thu May 15, 2008 8:55 pm

Just throught i'd let everyone known, as i haven't been on the site for a while ( been busy sorting out my wedding ). That the time has come for Oscar Olop to move on to pasture new.

Next week i will be driving to Suffolk to part ex. for a 53 plate, Mondeo ST220, silver, full light grey recaro leather & 20,000 miles on the clock ( its a wedding present ).

I would have liked a Mark 4 R32, but the other half wouldn't play ball & she only likes the Mark 5, which the budget wouldn't stretch to that much.

So i am just saying goodbye & thanks for all the help, advice & useful info off anyone on the site. I will calling in now & again, ( to see the progress of tomo87, 20v turbo'd olop)

bye for now

Should have put your foot down mate

Good luck with the new motor and the wedding!

Thanks for all the replies. The Mondeo we had decided on was a salon
( didn't even realise ) but we need a hatchback because of the dog.

Been having a look about & found a 54 plate, in blue & at a good price.

Couldn't put my foot down really MM, because the car is in her name.

I'll post some piccies, when the new motor is purchased.

That made me chuckle reading that

The best thing is MM. Is that the other half isn't coming with me to collect the new motor. That means I get to drive the olop ( on the way to get the new car ) & the 3.0L V6 on the way back as it should be.

No really i'am a sensible driver. But on the right road & at the right time, i'am going to exploit the advantages of both cars.

Don't forget this is my last major drive in the olop ( my first car, thanks to my other half, which I thank her for ) & i want too remember it.

Cheers Tim.

No, i'm a sensible driver & know my limits. Plus, imagine explaining too the missus that i've stuff the olop on the way down, or even better. I've stuffed the Mondeo on the way back home ( our wedding present to each other aswell )

Nice choice of next car, I want to see pictures lol

Changes, changes, changes.

The other was concerned about the 3 litre engine in ST220 regarding the petrol consumsion. As we only really do town driving we have played the sensible card & gone for the Diesel ST instead.
