The police car
« on: 13 September 2006, 13:15:35 »
http://s111.photobucket.com/albums/n144/nick7214/?sc=1&addtype=local

i hope this works, this is my 1994 3.0 V6 elite.

It is black with black leather and auto box.

It has 97000 on the clock but vauxhall put a brand new engine in it 7000 miles ago, so run lush.

it is due for MOT on saturday and last night i changed n/s wishbone and tonight will do the other.

i think the auto box need an oil change but i will get round to that soon enough

Very Nice looking omega 8-), black seems to be getting more and more rare unfortunately.

New engine how much did that set you back if you dont mind me asking?

I like the colour, but she does have a few supermarkets scares. I was thinking of having her resprayed in a different black colour (maybe BMW black) i am unsure.

yes that is the colour of mine.

it seem that where ever it is parked people just open doors onto it. I have never owned a car before where people just keep bashing it all the time.

Nice  ;)
I always try & park away from from other vehicles in car parks, I don't mind the extra bit of a walk, but someone always seems to park next to me. Either they have the same idea or maybe they think there's something special about where I've parked!

Sorry for the delay boys.

No it was never a police car but does only have one owner from new.

My wife calls it the police car as when ever shes comes up behind traffic, they move rather quickly out of the way (especially on the motorway)

It might the speed she drives at. My son thinks the sport button on the auto box is for the turbo that mum uses all the time.

people see omega in rear view mirror and panic, slow down, pull over.

Joe public thinks any black, white or other police unmarked car colour in an omega  means there being followed by Police  ;D

I fully understand the concept of member's of the public thinking they are being followed by an un-marked Police Omega and slowing to the correct speed limit as I have also had this happen to me when driving my Omega Elite, the bit I was lost on was starting a thread "THE POLICE CAR" and not explaining why!!!

Nice car Dude.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I can't get mine to pass as a Police car anymore though, unless it's night time, of course, and them hidden lights are a flashin'.  ;)
