Post by: Mr.OmegaMan on 05 October 2015, 21:53:12
...Well maybe more than one or two pictures.

Very nice, and still reminds me of my old Elite. Do I still have you on Instagram? I genuinely don't know how to use it any more...

I do believe so, still use it myself on the iPhone app, I tent to mainly use it to quickly enhance pictures somewhat when I don't have time to use the laptop.

There's a lot of talk going on around here about the superior/fast 'black cars' : ::):)Personally I'm beginning to think that the Nocturno blue cars may be coming up on the outside rail to take the title :) :y that's a very nice looking car and a strong contender for it. :)  ;)

After looking at these great pictures I just had a thought. You could get TB to make up a calender and get it in the oof store Iam sure lots of members would buy it. :y

Brilliant idea Paul,it'll be an opportunity for me to wear my colour co-ordinated mankinis for each car,but I'd prefer a warm day for the photo shoot due to the blood not reaching the extremities :o know what I mean? ::)

Liking the idea of an OOF/Omega calender  :y

They don't cost too much to make custom calenders these days either, places like VistaPrint, Snap Fish etc... Plus the more you buy the cheaper they become  :y

The idea of an Oof colinder was put forward a few years ago, but nobody would strip off knowing that stemo was the nominated photographer. :D

Thanks  :), I do like taking pictures especially when I see a potential good spot  :y

I have been told that some of these pictures would have been nice if it wasn't for the car in the way  ::) ;D

It's nothing fancy the camera just an iPhone 6 Plus 8mp camera. Soon to be getting the 6S Plus with a 12mp camera which shall be interesting to see if it's any better  :y

Well if anyone's up for making them whether just an Omega calendar with no affiliation with OOF they have my blessing to use these pictures if they wish :)

If an OOF calendar i'm not going to get into that i'll leave that in the Admins hands if they decide to make one or not  :y

Thanks  :)

It would most definitely be a boring world if we all liked the same things  :y ..Looking back at the pictures from over the years I think now the MV6 bumper is on the Irmscher grill does suit the car more now than it did before with the standard bumper, Better still would be the full Irmscher kit probably... Either way it's only a 2 minuet job to swap the grills around if I fancy a change in the future I've kept the VX grill in a safe place  :y

Fog lamps are new, The headlights are both used/genuine, Just that the drivers side was bought from eBay (wasn't 99p unfortunately  ;D) it is a used/genuine unit but was in very good condition looks to be a few years old tops was a bargain in that way... Passenger side as far as i'm aware is the original for this car & if you eagle eye the lamp it does look a tad more yellow  :y

There's something like 201,231 miles on the clock at the moment. Most of which was put on early on in its life as a chauffeur driven car mainly on motorways no doubt.

That's actually a different car in the latest post, Same colour, engine etc.. Just a few months newer with the later alloys, rain sensitive wipers etc... Cant remember exactly but think it's got 137,000 or 147,000 on the clock.. Not long owned it.  :y

Ah yes those, It's no secret I like to mess around now and again making pointless videos that only I'll like at the end of the day. I don't tend to share them on here anymore as no one appears to be interested and those who are can easily find them anyway, So I just stick to occasionally uploading pictures on here :)

The videos do appear to be more popular in Europe mainly countries such as Russia, Germany and other countries. As seen below for instance.

You can't park for toffee... :D

Was wondering how long till someone mentioned that  ;D...

Two reasons behind this..

#1 most of the time the car is parked in a certain way just for the picture.

#2 sometimes (not always) depending on the car-park if its made for small cars i may take up 2 spaces to help prevent dents if there's no where else to park. This does come with some funny looks as you'd expect :D

I'm jealous of the fact that it seems that you can find a nice quiet spot to do what you do without to many cars/people around and pretty scenic as well. To try and do that sort of stuff here is nigh impossible,as there's not much point in having an original thought because there's always some horses's arse that comes along and parks alongside you in the middle of nowhere.May be it's that 'safety in numbers thing' that's really peeing me off, as even in the biggest retail car parks it seems that even if I park in the most furthest spot from the store I come back and find someone's parked a 4x4 right up against my driver's side door : ::):)So unfortunately I won't be posting any scenic shots of my cars, unless I go out in the middle of the night and do some night shots...but then the quiet spots will probably be busy with the dogging community, probably would'nt look to good for me with camera in hand ;)

I'm jealous of the fact that it seems that you can find a nice quiet spot to do what you do without to many cars/people around and pretty scenic as well. To try and do that sort of stuff here is nigh impossible,as there's not much point in having an original thought because there's always some horses's arse that comes along and parks alongside you in the middle of nowhere.May be it's that 'safety in numbers thing' that's really peeing me off, as even in the biggest retail car parks it seems that even if I park in the most furthest spot from the store I come back and find someone's parked a 4x4 right up against my driver's side door : ::):)So unfortunately I won't be posting any scenic shots of my cars, unless I go out in the middle of the night and do some night shots...but then the quiet spots will probably be busy with the dogging community, probably would'nt look to good for me with camera in hand ;)

You'd think Winter would be even quieter and it probably is a little but on the whole it's no better than Summer, Depends on location but there are many places to chose from with minimal traffic/people about.

The EVO Triangle which was a little gem of a road before certain Car Magazines and Top Gear started to use the road, Since then it's been fast becoming too well known / popular and the go to place around here people come from all over, loads of super cars, bikes etc... It consists of 3 roads which sort of resembles a triangle shape from the following roads A5, A543 to B4501. Not so quiet on this road anymore.

Get some pictures up of the VXR8 or better still some videos so we can hear that V8 8)

Would love one, Little out of my price range though shame they really hold their value so well, Monaro maybe though although the VXR8 is a more practical car...  :-*

Going through a learning curve at the moment as the guy who sold me the car demonstrated the cars ability to spin the back wheels at 80 MPH on my private stretch of motorway.Looks like I'm going to have a few anxious moments with it,but driving it like miss Daisy at the moment with the traction control permanently on ::)

Looking at these pictures..is reinforcing the need to move from the crappy south east and head for a place where you can find a bit of space,even if it's only to find a spot to take some pics of your cars without first having to find a bit of solitude which, living here is absolutely nigh on impossible,unless you go out as soon as it's light in the summer months ::) Think Welsh Wales could be a strong contender,although Lincolnshire is in the plans at the moment :y

Some Obsesion Wax Phantom would really look good on the Jag  8)
It's especially recommended for dark coloured cars. Exceptional deep shine that lasts around 2-4 months depending how often the car is used. But the beauty with it unlike some waxes it's easy to apply/remove you can leave it for 10 minutes or 5 hours and it's still easy to remove. Granted it's a little expensive but I love it. Smells of mangos as well.

Was planning on getting them done by someone for £240ish which seems a little expensive but there isn't much choice around here not may reputable places to chose from... Plus the wheels aren't really in a bad enough condition for a full refurb.

So decided to do them myself (again). So far 2 wheels have cost me £15 in halfrauds paint and around 3 days in time. Forgive the poor picture (plus it started to rain) i'll get some better ones soon.
