3.2 MV6 is an Old Man's Car
« on: 13 March 2011, 22:13:13 »
Someone please settle an argument for me here  ;)

SWMBO, considers all Omegas, including my 2002 3.2 Litre 24 Valve MotorsportV6, with sports recaro leather, nice firm suspension, excellent power and handling...... to be an OLD MANS CAR!

See pics below, (of which she can be seen looking distinctly unimpressed in one of them  :D )

And tell me.

Do I have an old man's car?   ::)

Have you changed teams James?  :o  The fella in pic 2 with the striped shirt certainly seems less than interested in the car, right enough....   ;D

Trust you Broocie.... but no, I'm afraid while your instincts are usually correct, you are wrong on that score  ;D

 My better half would agree with your's James,to her ALL omegas, MV6 or no, are "old mans cars" ;D. And so what? Just cause they havent got a "prestige" badge on them and are getting on a bit in the styling department is irrelevant really. As long as continuing to own and drive your (very nice) MV6 puts a smile on your face so what?

I'm 59 ... I drive an Omega 3.2 Elite.... not an MV6 ... so if 59 is "old" then my 3.2 is an old man's car ...  :)

However .. several young men and ladies seem to be very grateful for the size and capacity of said motor, and also keep attempting to get me to break the speeding regulations when they call upon the "taxi" service .... be it a social night out or moving them from uni to home and back .... :)

I think is should be referred to as a "Family" car .. not an "old man's car"

:)

I don't give a monkeys what people think TBH... I'm comfortable, even on a long journey (South of Italy in 24 hours ;)), and can embarrass the little boys at the lights when I want to :y :y

Mrs Nitro has a similar opinion BUT how I get a temporary change of view is to 1.find a nice straight stretch of road,2 gently select 'S' mode,3 plant right foot firmly on loud pedal and then say " scream if you wanna go faster"but usually she can't hear me cos' she's already screaming,Dunno what that was all about but she always seems to be a much nicer person afterwards. [smiley=evil.gif] :y

I got my Omega when i was at Uni, I was 21 when I got it, I too had the 'old man' argument, with the people at my work. Even more so for me as its poverty spec and the smaller engine.

But when I took them down to the pub, in nice smoooth big comfy car, yet still on the bumper of my colleagues chaved up Ford Fiesta on the twisties, it shut them up  :)

My boss had the 'cool' new Megan, when he was told it was a dealer job to replace and indicator bulb, the front wheel had to come off ect.... when I showed him it was a 5 second job on mine, old man car suddenly became a whole lot more appealing!
