What to do with a perfectly good Omega nobody wants?

[stumpage]

I have a 2001 Omega CD 2.6 V6 Auto. It's up for sale but I've not had a call.

So it has got me thinking. What can I do to get rid of the car but enjoy myself at the same time? I've not got the time to turn it into a track toy and I don't want to spend a penny on it but its mechanics are in great order and has 4 new tyres on it so distance won't be a problem. I can take a few days off work but I need it to be out of the way by the middle of July (don't want to insure it for another year.)

So any suggestions?

Touristfahren. Ideal thing to learn the ring in

Remove all the interior bar the drivers seat and go and hoon it on a drift day.

Thought this was going to be another 'Octane-type' watch thread

Advertise that you'll give it away free to the most deserving cause. Applications to be submitted before [insert date].

Publish applications on PH.

That was not the point of the thread but a road trip sounds like a plan.

Like that idea. But it would need to be a good cause, wouldn't want to give it away and then get it pulled to pieces. I'll mull that one over.

I've spent too much time in the watch section.

Ebay, 5 or 7 day auction with no reserve and a 1p start, I've done it a few times with cars that have basically owed me nothing and its suprising what they go for, just insist on a non return deposit straight away at the auctions end to avoid the time wasters.

Find out where you can get a cheap flight home from, then take it on a road trip. It is a good cruiser so should handle some distance in comfort.
At the end, either park it somewhere near the airport with the keys and paperwork in, or advertise it in the area you plan to leave it.

try www.omegaowners.com , I've been on the forum for years and recently sold my 2001 Omega 3.0 Elite with 183k miles on the clock to one of the members. I had 3 people interested within a week of posting it up.

I would be suprised if it could drift! I think it only has about 150hp and that combined with an auto box would need some seriously lairy driving to get the car into any sustained drift.

I have to admit I am not a fan of these but the e-bay idea seems the best, unless of course you are happy to just give it away to some good cause.

[jjones]

burn it, see the shed thread for inspiration

[AndyCowman]

How much are you trying to get?! I can take it off your hands always need a back up when the porsche is dead

[Steameh]

Raffle it off, 50p a ticket.

[funkyrobot]

OP, I have a friend who is need of a car quite quickly. Could you PM me a link to the advert? I'll pass it on to him to see if it is in his budget range etc.

Thanks.

If you're going to give it away, how about a Jubilee tour of Great Britain that ends in Surrey...
