Omega wanted for photoshoot - SLady bitshorpe Fri 2 Oct
« on: 21 September 2009, 20:36:39 »
Hello,

It's a bit of an unusual request this one, but i'm photographing a Capri for a magazine feature (Retro Ford) in SLady bitshorpe on Friday 2nd October and we're looking for an Omega (and possibly the owner) to appear in some of the photos. It'll be a full 5 or 6 page feature on the Capri, not just a small pic in Readers Rides etc.
    The reason for me posting here is the Capri is quite unusual in that it has a 3.0 v6 Omega engine and manual box fitted and we'd like to display a link between the 2 cars in the pics. The Omega number plate would not appear in the pics or can be erased if thats a problem! Lol. Any takers would need to be available for approx an hour around lunchtime/ early afternoon in SLady bitshorpe on Fri 2nd Oct - anyone living local would be ideal - I could bung you a few quid towards your petrol. ;)
    if the weather takes a dramatic turn for the worse, the photoshoot may be postponed until Sat 10th Oct, but that will probably be decided a day or 2 before the shoot! Interested parties please PM me or email jonrcass@yahoo.co.uk.

Thanks,

Jon

I'm far from an admin groveller (just setting the record straight) but a big thankyou to The Boy for Pm ing me the link as i probably never would've seen it.
  Mark & i are both Omega & old school Ford fans & this item brings the two together really well. This can only be positive for OOF & Retro Ford mag.
    Looking forward to having a look at the Capri. :y

Not similar power either, the later capris were 150bhp the 3.0 Omega is 208 that nearly a 40% increase ;)

I knew how passionately you defended that Cortina you were so fond of, and seeing as it was around the corner from you, you seemed like an obvious 'volunteer' :y

The Cortina was a good'un despite not being that old as classics go. Thing is with 'Tinas by nature 99% were fleet cars from new so most ended up on the banger circuit, killed a few myself when i was racing & Mk1 & 2 Escorts which i love & cost a fortune now but most were never loved from new.
   Got my eye on something else for next year's classic shows...ends tomorrow!!!!! 8-)

My bro had a W reg Cortina 2.3 Ghia from new, but then became a Vauxhall man when he started to get company cars.  Now he is a BMW man, won't consider anothing else. Hope being gay isn't in the genes...
