and its a goodbye from me.
« on: 07 April 2016, 21:56:20 »
Miggy sold today and will be my last one.. apart from a 6 month period in 2004 when i had a V6 Vectra the omega has been the only car ive owned sibce 2002 ..  I will miss it but fancied a change..  call it a mid life thing... i would like to thank those people that have helped me with the issues ive had ove the years namely elite pete and jimbob.. and those people i never met but posted advice to me..
 I do have a good pair of elite rear shocks in my shed i initially thought where past their best but i was mistaken as theres 2009 year stickers on them.. happy to let them go to an OOF member for a reasonable price (£50?) Plus postage whatever thats gonna cost...

You don't need to go I haven't
This really is a great forum for advice and not just Omega related , you can ask almost anything and someone will have an answer ( not always sensible 😀) but you will get an answer
I have the Insignias for a couple of years and still pop to the High Wycombe meets to catch up and maybe have a little tinker

I too am Omegaless, but inherited my aunts Polo with 35000 on the clock, so have gone and got a Suzuki Hayabusa ( bit more than a mid-life crisis- also has the advantage that the missus won't go on the back :Dhttp://images.omegaowners.com/forum/smf2000/Smileys/oofstd/cheesy.gif

Plenty of 'old men' riding superbikes these days.

My brother owns a 'Busa' and is almost seventy.

Sorry you're now Omegaless, but at least still have a Vauxhall, and more to the point still run a car or two, will have problems occasionally, and good advice to offer.
This forum is many things. Primarily it's a source of priceless advice to folk running Omegas. But it's also a club where people can drop in at any time for a chat, or just to eavesdrop on other conversations, and chip in if they have anything worth saying. There is humour, banter. leg pulling, and occasionally bullying. All are welcome, and members are gentle in their advice when they watch someone doing daft things.
It's like a local pub, coffee shop or club.
Drop in regularly, you'll always be welcome. There are two young lads about to get married. There are some old guys drawing pensions. Some have several Omegas, some have none. They do talk about cars a lot.
