That'll be 12 points on your licence,in as many months,so best not to put temptation in your way, but that's very kind of you to offer Possibly could sell it and buy another 25 Omegas and that would also pee the neighbours off as well

  Me and Serek could have it a week each. Real car share.

  You would need to find 25 omega's first

I will be up in Huntingdon next Saturday visiting my sister in law, so you might hear me

But to cheer you up, much V8-ness

Well you were right about the V8ness, pic of the car when picked it up, and last week when collected from FAW Customs after having the ceramic coating done on the car, brake callipers and rims redone, will post some more pics in gallery

Yes after owning the Omega for almost 17 years it will be going to its new owner today, never ever thought I would ever sell the Omega (Thanks a lot Mr Sadiq Khan ), anyway on a positive note I know the car is going to a very good home and will be looked after

As OOF is like the Hotel California, you always come back, get onto the VXR8 & Monaro facebook forum as well Mike. Excellant knowledge and help there, just like here. Went to a meet up at Saffend seafront last saturday night. We then had a noisy procession along the front and through the town to a fish and chip establishment oppisite the Sainsburys where some more noise was made . Quite a few of the owners were older than both of us two

Cheers Keith, have joined the facebook forum

I have to also point out the only reason I am changing cars is due to the ULEZ change next year, zone being extended and the omega not meeting the emission's, could have waited until next year, but that aside never thought I would ever be selling the car and always planned on keeping the omega. But now it will be going back to where it originally came from and to a collector of omega's. So I am pleased about that, car sold

Yours is a 2.6 that was tweaked by Mark wasn't it?

What's odd is the 3.2's don't get charged under ULEZ but the 2.6's do 

Yes thats the one, ported 3 litre cams, engine rebuilt, lambda sensors rebossed and moved back from the cats to stop the common EML issue arising, and a couple of other changes

Was originally looking at a 6.2 one, but then found that one, done the deal deposit paid got it for £14,500, insurance is just under £100 more than what I pay for the omega, the omega is now listed in for sale section;

Pick the car up next Friday all being well, nice run back to London from Harrogate , try not to get any speeding tickets
