They don't make them anymore, love em or loathe em.
Members either own other vauxhalls or have replaced their omegas with modern replacements(?).
Still members would rather place a question here rather than on some "Chav i just want to insult you forums"
So why not in courage the chat in a format which will provide real answers rather than, " I dont know, but that sounds awesome mate" style you know what i mean, like.
Not just the smaller vehicles,I'm pretty sure there are answers to the problems to the more expensive vehicles which some own.
If i knew out to do a poll..

With you there Tidla :y :y

Probably depends on whether the admins want to keep OOF alive for evermore or are planning on letting it die a natural death as the cars more or less disappear. :-\
-
or Previous Omega Owners Forum=POOF :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D
-
It's a long standing question, and I guess it depends what replaces the omega for most people. Or what the admins do with their cars.
-
oh so if admins all get a rid of miggys :D :D then oof gone :'( :'(

....and far better advice than many other dedicated car forums in my opinion.

Thing is I think it's going to be a very long time til the last omega is dead.
i've always wondered though whether we could have a ''other car maintenance guide'' section as we have so many other car owners on here.... so if EMD does his starter motor he can place a guide with pics or if martin shows us how to fit a pink soft roof to his cabrio :-X ;D then there's a guide with piccies.... i like to look at pictures so i'd love this :)
just a thought :y

Good idea, but I think it would be too clumbersome to manage, after all, it is an Omega Forum.
-
Even when the Omega has gone, this is still by far the better Car Forum Site compared with most and to top it off it's FREE!!
You can get the answer to almost everything on this site whether its car related or not.....
Long live OOF :y :y

There are only two Admins now that own Omegas, and the two Mods own one and a half between them.

In maybe 3 yrs time ill buy another elite but that depends on how much petrol is at the pumps ::) Another 10 years will see omega's thin on the ground though me thinks :-\

Surely model, or at least marque specific forums must be better?
Take EMD's little pug. We have one member, AFAIK (maybe nobody else will own up ;D), with a 106. Yet on a little Pug forum, there must be 10s/100s of members with one. So where, on paper anyway, is the most encompassing advice to be found?
I accept that many of the other forums, esp those with a younger audience, are just full of shite and chavs - I was active on the Rover 25 forums, but its like wading through treacle, as unless you were fitting a bodykit or a 100GW amp that can run off a ciggy lighter socket, your posts would go unanswered.
But the fact that some other sites are not up to scratch, thats not OOF's beef to be honest. Should we spend time, effort and money to fix this? I'm not sure we could anyway - when OOF started, we ensured we had the right (at the time) personnel behind it; a tried and tested moderator, an Omega guru, a techie to run it, and a flamboyant character.
As to OOF's future, thats a discussion for another day.
-
On the pug foum ive seen questions un answered for months ::) most members are very young with little knowledge , it dont matter what question i ask on here about any car there is always helpful members that know or can point you in the right direction and very greatful for the help they give on here :)
-
Would it be fair to say that a forum can be as model specific as it likes, if it can't fix the cars then its useless. Other than owners interacting of course.
-
Can I just point out that my suggestion wasn't a ''we should go in this direction''..... it was just a fun little add-on that I thought would be quite cool. Nothing more :y
-
You worried about losing your post count then webby :D

And perfectly valid debate it is too, Webby :y
We like debates on OOF. As long as they don't drag into arguments, which is why I think some subjects are on slippery ground, as people are so entrenched in their views, and refuse to accept other viewpoints. This becomes the nasty side of OOF :'(
We used to ban oil threads for this reason, but it is ludicrous not allowing oil threads on a car site ;D
Maybe we should ban political threads and tyre threads, as again, viewpoints are too entrenched, and you can guarantee arguments? I hope we don't have to, but thats 100% dependent on members taking part, and accepting their view may not be the correct view for everyone. Not everyone needs SportMaxx TT tyres ( :-[) and OOF is not a wing of a one policy party.
Ah shucks, I've said too much again :-X
-
Ffs I only wanted a tyre that doesn't tram line. Not too much to ask is it? >:(

Having questions answered by intelligent people with access to TIS and Tech2 is a big plus for me.
If OOF is still as active when my current car reaches 200,000 miles I may consider an Insignia as my next daily driver. Otherwise I will probably go with something I can scan with VCDS :(

Half way there then.
