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??
