Hey,

Ive got a few bits I'd like to put on Vbay, however, being the nice chap I am, I was hoping to give OOFers first refusal, especially as alot of Omega C bits seem to be scarce. However, looks like I need 250 posts to sell anything here...is this rule flexible, given that if I want to sell a car I only need 50 posts?

I dont want to just ignorantly put up an ad, flout rules, thus upsetting moderators, etc..

[hotel21]

Flexable witin reason....

The purpose of the postcount requirements was to reduce/loose those who appeared, offerred for sale, took cash then vanished types.  A few genuine folks got stung and it left a bad taste in many mouths.

It does not take long bag the posts....

I know it had happened on other forums, but I didn't know that anyone on this forum had been stung. 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

I imagined that would be the reason, yeah.

I suppose I'm conscious of popping my bits on heebay, only to get no real views/ etc...

I was hoping to offer a full 'wood trim' set, but in the customer's choice of finishes... graphite, silver, bodycolour, etc..

And for reference, no such car as Omega-C, though we live in hope there may be.  Last Omega was Omega-B (94-03)

I was led to understand that the Omega C was the facelift, as there so much different on the facelift they gave it a new type designation!?

Just ebayed 'Omega C'- three pages of people referring to it as the C. Perhaps they are mistaken, but it certainly would make things easier if the facelifts were referred to simply as C.

they are mistaken! Maybe they seen it on Wiki, as thats gospel!!!

I always refer to it as an Omega C

Cheers!

I do try not to be one of these people that spout stuff confidently/insistently as fact, when i dont really know what Im talking about! If I'm not sure, I keep my gob closed, as 'twere.

I never thought it was in dispute. Especially when you consider bootlid, bonnet, dash, doorcards, grille, rear quarter panel are all significantly different. Thanks again, LSG, so long as I'm not the only one calling it by that name I don't mind!

Not calling Monza / The Boy liars, though, I mean, if we all capitulated to popular opinion and agreed where would we be? FRANCE!!

There is not an Omega-C. I wish there was, but there isn't, and its unlucky there ever will be. End of.

Omega-A is the Carlton in the UK.  Omega-B is the Vauxhall Omega in UK, both pre and facelift models.

Both pre and facelift models are mechanically similar, thus they have the same designation - the facelift is precisely that, just a facelift.

Anyone referring to Omega-C is wrong, or know something about GM's plans that nobody else does

[joshwyatt]

Was the facelift not referred to as the B2? I've seen some reference to that in Germany. Or maybe that's just another common mistake?

[VXL V6]

Yep, referenced as B2 in Germany. Never seen an Omega C and never will unless it's really a Monaro  - The last of the V Car chassis and proof positive that the V Car chassis could handle a big V8.

There has been a few Andy, there is a warning in the parts for sale section that names and shames....

Easy, tiger!! I use 'C' because I think it saves confusion. If I say 'C' it's fairly obvious to which car I refer to. Like a Mark I Jag, it was technically called the Jaguar 2.4 or 3.4 Compact; or the Daimler Dart, never officially known as that, it was the SP250; Cossie, what's that, oh you mean the Ford Escort RS Cosworth?

Im not particularly fussed whether it's official, or strictly right or wrong, nor am I trying to argue, but if we were to be truly accurate then there was never anything called 'facelift.' Facelift is a generic slang term used to denote visual range enhancements. It does not appear in brochures, or on the EPC. It is not an official term, sadly. But it does help clarify to people about which car we are speaking. I'm all for an easy life, me 

Anyway, we're gettin off topic, I just wondered about the rules of selling of the site, so cheers for all input, boys!
