Hi all,
just a quick thought, I have had my 2.6 cdx, since april this year, and in all my driving around Harrogate and round my work, I have only seen one more Omega. Question. are they all hibernating, or are they all south of leeds lol

Peter (the only Omega driver in a 15 mile radius of Harrogate )

[dbug]

More and more getting scrapped mate

[peter the butcher]

that's what I thought too. Used to run a V8 rover Vitesse, and saw one or 2 round Hull

[chrisgixer]

A fair few round this way, but mostly 4pots.

I keeps getting "don't see many of them about these days" comments. Along with an admiring look. Not sure if that omegas generally or the irmscher aspect if it though

[peter the butcher]

well I would wash and polish it, so it stands out ,
failing that, will get it respayed in a vivid green or yellow, not many of them around lol

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Barely see one a week on average around here, Cant even remember when i last saw a Carlton/Senator although do see the odd Lotus Carlton now and again and the odd VXR8/Monaro... Even noticed Vectras are becoming a rare sight compared when they where still in production. Mainly see Astra's, Corsa's, Focus's etc...

More and more getting scrapped mate

Unfortunately true 

[2boxerdogs]

I will be going part time next year as i will be 60, my 2.6 which is a great car will require a set of tyres & timing belt etc , even i am wondering is it worth spending any money on it, or should i just chance it till the belt or something major gives up & get something newer. It is a shame really as it is in excellent condition full history & garaged from new ..

[iansoutham]

Seem to be loads around the Sidcup/Dartford/Thurrock area as I see lots most days. Even last night, parked Thurrock Tesco carpark, I could spot 3 plus my estate.

I see 2 most days on the M25 near junction 2 going to work, plus a few others dotted around.

[2boxerdogs]

Forgot to say, still a few round here & 1 other where I work & it's a 3.2 Elite..

 Cant even remember when i last saw a .....Senator although  .....

Last Monday. I know him, but he hadn't a clue who the idiot in the silver R Class was that slowed down to pip & wave at him as he was about to pull out onto the main road.

Was it a Silver 2.6 cdx and on a weekend, probably swmbo.......

[Toledodude1973]

There's still a few around the Ipswich area , two in my road and yes i have found myself waving to any other Omegas seen ,just like the motorbike days

[omega3000]

Would have been one more in my area on my drive if i hadnt been out bid 

[05omegav6]

There aren't many silver ones around must have been a special order colour, which nobody ordered

I thought silver was the default colour for all Vauxhalls in the early 2000s

Need a new smiley

What I was thinking................

[kevinp58]

  Al there are 4 around here and 2 are silver and 2 are gold then mine that is oyster and the only proper one A 3.2 Elite  and I live in a small community. 

[albitz]

3 in my village,and I own two of them. Theres a gold 2.6 elite in the next village,which looks to be in nice condition.

[zirk]

3 parked in my local Pub last night, MV6 Estate, Elite Saloon and CDX, not one of them was mine, I was using Billy Taxi, thought somebody had organised a Mini Meet and forgot to tell me.

there's a very tidy silver saloon around the corner from me too, but a mere 2.6 CDX.

I would say that 95% of the facelift Omegas that I see out and about are silver
Burgundy, dark blue and dark green are equally the most prolific prefacelift colours...

[ronnyd]

There is a handful (big hands) around Bury St Edmunds area as well

[omega3000]

Everyone around here is silver  Good news if you need replacement body panels

Hi.
I run a 2.6 V6 Elite Estate.
Not seen another one.
I live at Peterborough.
I see the odd 2.2 saloon on my travels. ( long distance driver ) but never and estate.
 Must be a rare thing especially and estate.
Although for the year mine in near immaculate. must have been a lucky find.

Best car in the world in my opinion.... love it

Only 1 of our 4 is Silver   

[albitz]

Ive owned - a green one, a black one, a blue one,and........................four silver ones.
If I ever buy another one it can be any colour  but silver.

[omega3000]

Ive had 3 Polar Sea Blue's  never a silver one but silver seems to be the new in color 

[grain.ben]

As I keep saying, there are loads around Newbury & Thatcham but none of them seem to members on here  with the exception of me and newbie Rycraft.

But saying this, I seem to have the only bloody 4pot round here 

[joshwyatt]

There's a '53' 2.2 CD saloon locally, and it's black. Oh hang on, no...it's silver aswell 
It has the odd 16'' 7 spoke design similiar to the late Elite 17'' design. These wheels seemed to be available from new and came on the very last CD's.

[VXL V6]

I see four every day. 

[joshwyatt]

I see four every day. 

But being cruel...I'd ask how many of them do you see move? Only 3 
How's the new 2.6 Elite going?

Indeed! 

2.6 is running sweetly thanks to Daz. A few little jobs to do but nothing major.... the list is definitely getting shorter!

[05omegav6]

And how many of those are silver

Dk motors are in Thatchem. Used to refer to themselves as omega specialists, and did a good trade. Not so much now though.
