Welcome  Thumbs Up!

Scorpio was a fine car in its day (my dad had one), but is out classed by the more modern Omega  Smiley

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

hi, im an n/e england speaking scot. both parents scottish but moved to england before i was born, i moved up here 4 years ago. the omega has far better handling imo and actually sticks to the road when i go round corners unlike my old scorpio. i feel safer in it too.

Welcome to the forum.  Cool  Thumbs Up!
Where abouts are you located in Moray.
Drop me a PM if you don't want to post, on the forum.
I'm between Elgin & Nairn, but work in Inverness. Maybe we could have a mini-moray-meeting?
