And where can I dump my LPG notes?
I spent a large part of last week driving with a lap top connected monitoring the LPG ECU - learnt a lot!

Hello everyone.

very quiet?? worse than that..without the wise ones..more like a Citreon forum :'(
-
Anyone seen my new VXON signature?
-
...evident as well that the "Omega Guru founders"of this site are not just Omega Gurus....clearly IT experts too.
Site is very slick and more options than other forums.
-
Anyone seen my new VXON signature?
I suspect the mods saw it and modified it ;)
-
I am looking for sudgested technical guides for here, anything that has not been covered before.....
-
The main credit for the way the forum looks has to go to Jamie (TheBoy).
He has done a lot of work to get us where we are, so BIG thanks to him. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
Also I hope you guys like the pic at the top. That was down to the very impressive creative abilities of Finlays son Ben :D
Now, the others have said it already, but may I be the last ( [smiley=embarassed.gif]) to welcome you all to the new forum.
Couple of quick points to make clear.
Please, no insults towards VxON.
It is a very good site, run by very commited people and I truly wish them every success.
There was a difference of opinion in how things should be run, and that is what caused the problems.
It is in the past, and there it will stay.
This is about moving forward and creating not only THE resource for all Omega owners, but also about building on the fantastic community spirit we all created previously.
If you have any suggestions, drop us a PM and we will see what we can do. :)
Enjoy
Dave

Well Said Dave, lets not speak of what happened before. Lets look forward.

Can we be rude about that mod - I have friends still on VXON so I'll take the mickey but not nastily.

Hello,
Just joined the group, glad to see so many familiar faces 8-).

Hi James. Great to see you mate. Welcome on board. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

So this is where you were all hiding! Looking forward to asking you lots of daft questions ;D
-
Nice 1 Ronald, Laidback, TheBoy, Marks DTM Calib
Site looks great
Viva la revolution
-
I'm here! So all the pieces of the jigsaw fall into place. Nice to see familier names again, seeing that dancing chicken again fair brought a tear to my eye. ;D
Great site guys
-
STMO123, Andy8, RolandL,
I'm delighted you've all found us, and joined up to this forum [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
Welcome.
Jaime

Dontcha want 15 quid then?
-
Ha haaa - well this was organised quickly, and looking very swanky too!! Hello everyone! Thought it'd be rude not to sign up.
Wonder if this place will actually empty VXONs omega population? Not that they'd notice to be honest. Couple of Q's / suggestions...
1. Is there an effort to get all the VXON how-2s put up here, provided of course their original authors allow it? Would be nice.
2. What about a gallery section or users personal photo archives that accept uploads of pictures? This is a very useful feature on my usual home - www.locostbuilders.co.uk. I guess you'd need the storage space/bandwidth, but it is great not to have to faff about hosting pics somewhere on the net and linking to them. But then I suppose who'd want to see loads of pics of standard omegas :P i dunno might be useful for "what the hell is this", "where is...", how2s etc etc etc.
3. Mods - shouldn't this be in general Chat? ;D ;D ;D
Good work all involved,
Liam
-
Aaah what a spanner - there's the attach picture option right under the reply i just wrote!! doh
-
Liam,
Welcome here, really pleased you took the effort to visit.
Hope to see more of you here :D
And remember to contact me about that key ;)
Jaime
-
Liam You an Omega owner as well as a Locost builder !
-
Great to see so many familiar faces. Is that you Pope? Welcome mate. Nice to see you too Roland.
This has the makings of a very good forum. All the regulars in the right place.
remember guys, what has happened 'there' has happened - End of. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
-
Yep it's me - helloooo... Nice to register on a forum early enough to get my name!
Um sorry to go o/t, sirs, but yes RolandL i'm a locostbuilder indeed. Soon to be a locost driver (doin the megasquirt right now). Roland L - does that mean Roland Lumby of locost fame?
Liam
-

Welcome to Darryl also. Good to see you on board too mate.
I must say that this is a very encouraging start. Onwards and upwards I say. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Oh come on Fin you know the support you guys gave on VXON, did you really think there wouldnt be a good turnout here?
I for one didnt think twice and i am sure many others here are the same. Whats more i reckon the guys that have arrived early will be here for the long term too!
-
It is Liam, ;D glad to hear you will be burning rubber soon [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
-
Hi Mark. Good to see you and glad you are with us.
Thanks for the support to each and everyone of you. I genuinely think that this will grow into THE forum for Omega owners worldwide. Within the first 24 hours we have had many familiar people convert to us. That in itself makes it all worthwhile.
Remember guys and gals, this is YOUR forum. We can all make it as good as we want. As previously mentioned we are a new forum and very much open to suggestions and critisims. There is a suggestions box and ALL suggestions are welcome. Wherever feasible and for the good of the forum, we will impliment all suggestions and changes that we can.
Although there is a small group of people behind this forum, nobody is 'in charge' as such. We all are, you, me, everybody. Yes there are Administrators and Moderators as you will all appreciate ther has to be someone running the thing, but I for one and I am sure I speak for the others, will have no hesitation in giving up my post if at any time people feel I am not doing my job properly. The forum is much bigger than me and I want it to succeed for the good of all omega owners.
So, thanks a million to all of you for making this such a great and encouraging start.
Cheers
Fin [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

that nearly brought a tear to my eye, getting soft and sentimental. :D ;D

As Ronnie McB has said, this is your place. We don't mind critisism, and we're sure there are things we haven't considered that you think is a good (or bad) idea. Please post them up in suggestions box.
I am glad that Laidback66 has taken on the main moderator role. The work he did elsewhere was excellent, and helped build that site into what it became. Hopefully, under his guidance, this forum came become what that place was destined to be.
I will happily stand down as an admin once this place is up and running if that is what is wanted by you.

getting soft and sentimental. :D ;D
Who? Ronnie? Never ;D
-
Up yours! :D
-
Evening all!
Just got the hang of VXON. Now I've got to do it all again! :o
Can't put my avatar up. It's on my hard drive not a URL.
Using emergency Tigger for now.
Well done you naughty boys.
Off for a nose around.

Hi Gordon. Welcome along mate.
Link? Who me? Naaaaaaah! I just changed my signature into a click and arrive here situation. Ooooops! ;D ;D ;D
What went on is in the past now mate. We have all moved on to a better and friendlier place and it is great to see so many faithfuls here already.
Right. Who's round is it?

Heya!

-
Just joined this pm. Owning a omega myself this makes total sense for me rather than a general vauxhall site.
So good luck - everything looks like its gonna be a winner.
By the way thanks to Ronald for his help with posts regarding my HBV a few weeks ago. HBV replaced and touch wood all sorted.
the only way is up

Welcome Bernie400, glad you decided to sign up here :D
I barely knew you on the old forum before I left, but hopefully we can get to know each other better here :)
-
This must be the 3rd thread I've said Hiya in but.....hey, I'm a sociable guy [smiley=beer.gif]
-
Welcome Bob :)
-
Eh up everyone.
Only just found the other site before the brain drain, so thought I'd follow in the hope that something would rub off.
Built my self a kit car 20 years ago but things have changed a bit since then so will be needing a little help. ;)
-
Welcome Robin Hood :D
-
Hi Bob, Bernie, Jay, B52 and everyone else just joined us. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Remember guys, the forum is only as good as the people who join it. So your inpiut is very welcome and vital to our success.
There us always someone who will know the answers, so bear with us if we don't tell you straight away.
Thanks again for popping in to our humble and friendly forum dedicated to Omegas only ;)
-
Welcome Robin Hood.
You fixed you A/C yet?
-
Glad to have found you all again, been searching for the address for a bit....never thought id find it on vxon though!
glad I havent lost this wealth of knowledge and experience.
now then, how about some sub forums for other vauxhalls?
/me runs
Cheers
James

Hi all, and thanks to ****** for pointing me over here (damned web address was ghosted by VxON, but "reply" revealed it).
Think I can guess the reason for the new forum/board, and that's fine by me. I'm glad to see the omnipresent, omnipotent members of old are here, and that we have a board where we can concentrate on the miggy. Hope to see you all around.
(edited to remove referer's name - seems that VxON are banning people for "spamming" this site)
-
Welcome along mate. Great to have you with us! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
-
Welcome summat :D
-
Hmmm, seems like this thread has been busy since I last looked at it!
A very warm welcome to all the people who have joined since I last said welcome! ;D
We aim to do things right. We will get it wrong sooner or later (Mark is excluded from that comment as he is never wrong! :P) and when we do, please tell us so we can learn from our mistakes.
As we keep saying, this is here for all Omega owners (and potential owners) so let's continue to wrk together and make this the best owners forum anywhere! :D
I am glad that Laidback66 has taken on the main moderator role. The work he did elsewhere was excellent, and helped build that site into what it became. Hopefully, under his guidance, this forum came become what that place was destined to be.
Heck I had to do something, since you are rather more adept with the software than I am! ;D
I will happily stand down as an admin once this place is up and running if that is what is wanted by you.
The h*ll you will!! :)
-
Hi people, good to see you again!

Welcome omegav6cd :D
Either you had a very late night, or a very early morning :o

Hello all
I've been out of touch for a couple of weeks, daughter's wedding & all, so it was a surprise to visit you-know-where. After working out how to contact Dave and seeing this new forum, I had no choice but to sign up, did I. Dave, Jamie, Mark & Finlay, you've done a wonderful job, as ever. Congratulations.
Jeremy

Welcome archermk - glad you've found us again :D
