Hi all,
just a quick thought, I have had my 2.6 cdx, since april this year, and in all my driving around Harrogate and round my work, I have only seen one more Omega. Question. are they all hibernating, or are they all south of leeds lol

More and more getting scrapped mate ;)
-
that's what I thought too. Used to run a V8 rover Vitesse, and saw one or 2 round Hull
-
A fair few round this way, but mostly 4pots.
I keeps getting "don't see many of them about these days" comments. Along with an admiring look. Not sure if that omegas generally or the irmscher aspect if it though :-\
-
well I would wash and polish it, so it stands out ;D ;D ;D,
failing that, will get it respayed in a vivid green or yellow, not many of them around lol

Barely see one a week on average around here, Cant even remember when i last saw a Carlton/Senator although do see the odd Lotus Carlton now and again and the odd VXR8/Monaro... Even noticed Vectras are becoming a rare sight compared when they where still in production. Mainly see Astra's, Corsa's, Focus's etc...
More and more getting scrapped mate ;)
Unfortunately true :-\
-
I will be going part time next year as i will be 60, my 2.6 which is a great car will require a set of tyres & timing belt etc , even i am wondering is it worth spending any money on it, or should i just chance it till the belt or something major gives up & get something newer. It is a shame really as it is in excellent condition full history & garaged from new ..
-
Seem to be loads around the Sidcup/Dartford/Thurrock area as I see lots most days. Even last night, parked Thurrock Tesco carpark, I could spot 3 plus my estate.
I see 2 most days on the M25 near junction 2 going to work, plus a few others dotted around.
-
Forgot to say, still a few round here & 1 other where I work & it's a 3.2 Elite..
-
.....
Cant even remember when i last saw a .....Senator although .....
Last Monday. I know him, but he hadn't a clue who the idiot in the silver R Class was that slowed down to pip & wave at him as he was about to pull out onto the main road. ;D ;D ;D ;D

There's still a few around the Ipswich area , two in my road and yes i have found myself waving to any other Omegas seen ,just like the motorbike days
-
Would have been one more in my area on my drive if i hadnt been out bid >:(
-
There aren't many silver ones around :-\ must have been a special order colour, which nobody ordered :P

I thought silver was the default colour for all Vauxhalls in the early 2000s ::) ::)

;D ;D Al there are 4 around here and 2 are silver and 2 are gold then mine that is oyster and the only proper one A 3.2 Elite ::) ;D ;D and I live in a small community. :P
-
3 in my village,and I own two of them. Theres a gold 2.6 elite in the next village,which looks to be in nice condition.
-
3 parked in my local Pub last night, MV6 Estate, Elite Saloon and CDX, not one of them was mine, I was using Billy Taxi, thought somebody had organised a Mini Meet and forgot to tell me. :(

::) there's a very tidy silver saloon around the corner from me too, but a mere 2.6 CDX.
I would say that 95% of the facelift Omegas that I see out and about are silver ;D
Burgundy, dark blue and dark green are equally the most prolific prefacelift colours...
-
There is a handful (big hands) around Bury St Edmunds area as well :y
-
Everyone around here is silver ::) Good news if you need replacement body panels ;D

Hi.
I run a 2.6 V6 Elite Estate.
Not seen another one.
I live at Peterborough.
I see the odd 2.2 saloon on my travels. ( long distance driver ) but never and estate.
Must be a rare thing especially and estate.
Although for the year mine in near immaculate. must have been a lucky find.
Best car in the world in my opinion.... love it

Only 1 of our 4 is Silver ::) ;D
-
Ive owned - a green one, a black one, a blue one,and........................four silver ones. ;D
If I ever buy another one it can be any colour but silver. ::)
-
Ive had 3 Polar Sea Blue's ::) never a silver one but silver seems to be the new in color :(
-
As I keep saying, there are loads around Newbury & Thatcham but none of them seem to members on here :-\ with the exception of me and newbie Rycraft.
But saying this, I seem to have the only bloody 4pot round here ;D
-
There's a '53' 2.2 CD saloon locally, and it's black. Oh hang on, no...it's silver aswell :P
It has the odd 16'' 7 spoke design similiar to the late Elite 17'' design. These wheels seemed to be available from new and came on the very last CD's.
-
I see four every day. ::)

But being cruel...I'd ask how many of them do you see move? Only 3 ;D
How's the new 2.6 Elite going?

Indeed! ;D
2.6 is running sweetly thanks to Daz. A few little jobs to do but nothing major.... the list is definitely getting shorter!

And how many of those are silver ::)

Dk motors are in Thatchem. Used to refer to themselves as omega specialists, and did a good trade. Not so much now though.
