And that was a very long time ago!!! I'm...possibly....more up to date on RB211's! ::)

An RB211 has no chance of fitting under the bonnet of an Omega, though. A Griffon, on the other hand <rubs chin>. ;)

I know someone who has one or two ::)

But it will just about fit in the back of an estate, with a touch of Astramax styling.... ::)

Sorry to hear that Paul.  Was good to have met you on our Omega travels, and hope that we will again cross paths.

Stick around here, it's a belter of a site  :y

I used to buy flood cars from insurance auctions. Damage depends on water level.
Most common:
One connecting rod is bent (if water went in), electrical problems. They are toys for experienced engine mechanic + electrical problems.
10K car can be bought for about 3K, not much money is needed for parts. Last flood car I bought about 4 years ago, it was 06 Mitsubishi Eclipse. I replaced connecting rod/rings and repaired minor front bumper cover damage. I enjoyed driving it for a few months. My wife loved it, it was stick shift with 265 HP engine.
