I'd love to re-spray the front bumper and get rid of the stone chips, it's the only part of the car that isn't perfect.

(Other the the driver)

:redcard: What are the chances of having a serious thread, just for once. Please.

Thanks Paul.. the pic is of me at Greens showroom.

The day I collected mine brand new June '06 from Greens, the Vauxhall dealer in Kent (how many guys remember their significant contribution as a Wortec agent) there was an Odyssey CV8 on the back of a recovery truck with a very bent near-side. I asked on it's likely future and write-off was the assumption. I believe another met the same fate.
The salesman told me that I had got the last Odyssey.
I bought it over the phone without seeing it in the raw and thought I was
getting a "Gunmetal" colour from the i-net photos! I was well chuffed when I saw it for real.

The bent one you refer to was smashed by the owner after taking the car up the rd to see of there was still a knock from the rear after some work was done to the exhaust his wife was sitting in the service reception when it happened, car was indeed written off but was rebuilt by a guy in the greens bodyshop & he had it for a couple of years I've no idea where it is now though & would have been a cat d or similar

I see. Was that the one that got supercharged and had a boot-lid spoiler?

It had a spoiler the last time I saw it but no charger I think the one you referring to used to belong to Hsv rulz was sold to another forum member but I forget who

Just thought i would rejuvenate this thread and add my name to the list of Odyssey Owners on the forum

[richie slow]

Welcome to an even more exclusive club: odyssey ownership

[swordfishcoupe]

Hi Guys,

Just received an email from Fildigger, sounds like he is the proud owner of my old car, just about to drop him a reply to the email.

Does the two written off ones include PaulV8's old car ? I think there were more than two written off over 2 years ago TBH. Odyssey is a great colour.

Byeee and keep having the v8 fun! I am still the proud owner of my Jag SV8 and still loving it.

Whilst on the written off subject, here's another. Not at the usual place.



Says 15/12/2011 on the bonnet. Hope the occupants were ok - so long as they were the owners / entitled to drive.

There is much worse, won't post the picture as I think the driver would have been badly hurt and could have been known to the forum.

I also have one in this gorgeous colour. The previous owner was a local chap, not sure if he is on here. I'm also looking for touch up paint if anyone can still help with this!
