im debating weather to go or not its on sunday 10th of june if anybody wondered at santa pod, here is the link if interested...
 
http://www.performancevauxhallshow.co.uk

i know what twiglet means, abs is about all high end performance german saloons & the omega has a right to be there with the LCs M5s AMG mercs etc etc

i use to know james waddington i think he set up abs in the uk or megaomega...? may be wrong but going back 6years+ when i had my M 1994 irmscher factory built omega saloon, it was a local dealers showroom car to show what parts were available from irmscher & had everything in the cataloge fitted!! was an awesome car & he helped me back then with knowlage on repairs etc, anyway i know the "drive it like you stole it" style of driving wont be to everyones tastes etc & some of the older generation love there luxury crusers, i was 23 when i bought my 1st omega & i really wanted a 3.0 24v senitor or carlton but even in 2003 was hard to find a good one... but a 94 mig with 60k on clock for £1250 on a part ex to clear! reduced from £1950! was too good to miss!! atleast because it had £2000 worth of irmscher goodies fitted to it!!

but even now driving around i hardly ever see a carlton 24v or a senitor 24v? & all i seem to see omega wise is facelift models norm in silver...?? so the early pre/mfl ones must be getting rarer?? anyway i think it would be great if we could get as many cars together within a reasonable distance from across the uk for a huge meet maybe gaydon?? or gridlock a services somewhere?? & maybe have a total vauxhall mag rep/photographer there to show that the omega is a kind of forgotten gem in the vauxhall history...??

could even have a charity run from fk knows to god knows where?? range of about 50miles because yes these migs arnt good on fuel!! & we all need to get home..

at mo im undecided because on the sat 2nd june im off to watch the british drift championship in norfolk as 1 of my best mates came 2nd in the pro class!! its an awesome day out if you missed it check out motors tv sky413 & look out for MARC HUXLEY! in an old toyota corolla
maybe some of you may enjot that?? just thinking of other things we could all meet up for...??
but hope to see a few of you this sunday @ the plank & leggit notts??

Oh & if you viewed this thread say why you viewed it???

108
I was just wondering if the Administrators or "top posters" of the OOF were thinking of having a stand at this years

2012 performance vauxhall show????

GMASTERT will be there in the drift taxi omegas!!

as from one of the other posts about ths forums lack of fun etc etc & lack of national group meets...

what a great day out to spend with other members & view other fast vauxhalls...???

the monza carlton senitor omega & now the insignia were vauxhalls rivel to the other manufactures flagship models!!

wouldnt it be great to show off the best clean & imaculate exsamples & modifyed omegas from the forum...????

We all apreciate our omegas & spend good money keeping them going! "yes they cost a fkin fortune to run unless a tdi or on lpg!" "a bastard to service & repair" so why dont we show them off & show people that they arnt just oap taxis used for dragging caravans that people from all ages uses theres for more than that....  :-\

Also on my facebook account ive "liked" Total Vauxhall & they have asked to be notifyed of large meets of all types of vauxhalls for a photo shoot & poss magazine write up... so if not this show maybe if we can arrange a large meet & get the forum recignised!!!  :y

what do you guys recon???  :y :y :y
should we try & get a stand sorted???
& also who is already going...???

BUGGER DAMIT FKIT SODDIN HELL!!!! GOD DAM CRAP BLACKBERRYS!!!!

I Tryed to bit on the silver irmscher prefacelift bumper on ebay from tamworth that sold for £41.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was going to bid £50+ but with 15mins to go i tryed to get my soddin mobile to connect to ebay!!! 10mins remaining still loading!! 5mins refreshing the window every 10seconds!! still loading!!! 1min to go welcome to ebay.... please enter your password!!!
15seconds to go confurm your bid of £53.41........ And......... sorry please re-enter your password!!!!

opps bastard damit c**t was only 4 of the words i said to my blackberry as it was launched across the carpark  >:( >:(!!!

30secs later ran over to check i hadnt broken it phewww  :o !! couple of scuffs but ok...  :o

But sorry bidding for this item has ended heres some other things you may like!!!
URRR..... NO i wanted that one!!!  :'(

if you did win it you lucky sod!!!!  >:(
No sympathy. Teach you to buy a Gooseberry...

only reason why i got the dam thing is my last company mobile was a crapberry & it doesnt save anything onto simcard contacts etc & even the mem card has stupid settings! save from a blackberry can only view on another blackberry so when i was made redundant & phone had to go back i needed to quickly copy everything over!! or i would of lost everything  :'(

Plus i would of gone for a htc samsung or iphone but they are all touchscreen & i calnt use the on screen keypads  >:( but the blackberry has both touchscreen & slider to access keys, its just so fkin slow tho!! & keeps crashing mainly when taking a picture!!!

also my phones have a very hard life to be fair, dropped, crushed in pocket, dripped in oil & water, grit & dust, welding sparks to name a few im supprised its lasted 10 months!  :-\

The best phone i ever had was a nokia rubberised phone lasted over 5years & ive still got it & works fine!! but its limited on memory & applications..  :(  & now its on the wrong network...

yep im going to try find some sort of bid catcher/sniper because in the last 3weeks alone ive lost out on 5things! & all sold for less than my max bid!! i try find that ezsniper one cheers  :y

I have the whole kit ere and i wont be needing it anymore...... ::)
Sell it to TB, so his car doesn't look like homer Simpsons lip at the front anymore...

...and pray tell. Why won't you be needing it anymore? :-\

im toying with the idea of either fitting the front bumper to my estate or getting the bottom skirt for my standard bumper,
it was just so local & went too cheep!! ide be interested at the right price ive already got a full irmy kit sat up garden but front bumper is damaged  :'(  due to a front impact, so dont need the rest of it but happy to take it all if required...
so why are you selling?? bought a facelift???

Omega General Help / Re: How to stop rust
« on: 21 May 2012, 12:04:03 »
grease will work if you really want to...?? i use it on all exsposed threads/nut heads when ive done work on cars, i.e track rod ends the thread of the trackrod & the top of the exsposed nut on hub to stop rust re appearing & works well on bare steel, only prob you will have by using grease as an "underseal" is if its already rotten its just going to continue under the edges of the paint unless you can stop the oxidisation?? but if its all good i dont see why it wouldnt work except it will attract all the grit & dust & it wont wash off....
upto you but ide use a good underseal & jetwash it all clean 1st... ???
