Title: Drowned Omega!
Post by Drewomega on 04. Mar 2008 at 17:04

Hi! I am a relative Newbie! in that I no longer own my immaculate 3.0 Elite. Left the car at a friends while I was overseas and a flood in Scotland (worst in 30 years) overwhelmed my car up to top of the window level. I got an independent assessment as I had conflicting reports on the height of the water in my car. A writeoff! I still have not seen it and never will as the insurance/salvage people have taken it away. The good news is when I return to the UK on Friday I am picking up a 2003 2.6 Elite from the Midlands. I just hope it is as good as the last one! Has anybody got any tips on the 2.6? :)
