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

Peter (the only Omega driver in a 15 mile radius of Harrogate )

More and more getting scrapped mate

[peter the butcher]

that's what I thought too. Used to run a V8 rover Vitesse, and saw one or 2 round Hull

[chrisgixer]

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

[peter the butcher]

well I would wash and polish it, so it stands out ,
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...

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..

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.

[Toledodude1973]

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

[omega3000]

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

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