Hi all,

I have had to change my Omega from my old 2.2DTI to this.  I have finally got my hands on a V6 and I am loving every minute of it.  :-)

Its a 2001 2.6 MV6 Auto with 60K on the clock.

I gave it a good shine today since it was good weather so I hope you like the result.

[Lizzie_Zoom]

That is a lovely example Richard 8-) 8-) 8-)

I am sure others on here will love it as well, apart from the auto box in an MV6.  But for me that is a plus!

[Del Boy]

Would be better with a Drivers gearbox, but very nice car and I like it a lot! 
Lose the towbar 

[jimmas]

lovely looking car 

[Bourne]

Mmmmmmm - Nice. Love that colour. Low mileage too.

[crazyjoetavola]

Looks very well indeed Richard 8-)

Its got the right box and a beautiful colour (nearly got one that colour myself many moons ago - fab!).

[Tonka.]

That is one nice looking car 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Lovely. Black interiors do look great.

[RichardH]

Thanks for all the nice comments. I had to think long and hard before getting it because it can be very expensive running large engined cars over here in Ireland. But once I drove it and heard that lovely V6 sound, I had to have it.

It's my first auto too and was not sure what to expect but I am converted as I love it. Got to stay away from that S button though. :-)

You must try the 'S' button. Press it, floor it and hang on 

It increases your grin factor by 100%

You forgot to say "disable the TC"

Dunno what colour it is, but I do know it beats the hell out of every other "substance" known to man

Tax for the year will cost me €1,120 .  Extortion I know, but the Government can do what it likes it seems!  Hence the reason I had to think long and hard before getting a 2.6.  Even the 2.2 diesel I had used to cost me over €800 a year to tax.

Re colour name - I have been racking my brain as I can't find my face lift brochures and I am thinking it is called 'Petrol' - anybody else agree?

[Missy_MV6]

Lovely colour

I saw a beautiful blue 3.2 saloon parked around the side which must have been his.  Lovely clean looking car.

[miniator]
