Both my Migs are running well & still on the forum.(cheers Markey) Those who have scrapped a few Migs have usually "recycled" parts from said donor car to keep ours running well & in many cases upgrade them.
    It's good to think any scrapped car is'nt completely scrapped as bits of it live on today in many of our Migs. Smiley

Won't even use the washing line in case it has spiders on it. I will have to show her the army of arachnids that live in the shed one day Grin

Still keeping mine going or trying too. I have been tempted on occasions to flog it off and get something reliable. Every time I do I just chicken out.  Grin

Just add to that, I will have to sell it eventually when I return to the UK. So question is will there be Omegas left when I get back?

Behind where I live we have a metal recycling yard, no possibility of getting any spares or anything, the cars get delivered one day, get crushed the next, get taken away the day after. To anyone who likes their cars, its heartbreaking.

Took this pic last week:
...

Look a bit closer, what do you see????
...

Yep, 2 Miggys. Took the dog for a walk that way a couple of nights ago, they'd gone but there was another 2, a maroon estate and a silver saloon.

They must have been strippable for spares at the very least Sad Sad Sad Sad

Just doing some maintenance on mine and need all sorts of odds and ends

I hope there are some Omega Elites left next year. I am thinking of advertising for one so I can keep mine going!
