Even though I was expecting to find all the differences, I still jumped a little.

Again, cheers guys. 
I'm going to see if my Rospa observer fancies a couple of drives out with me, along with one or two other driving buds... as previously guessed, all my previous cars have been wrong wheel drive.
Regards
Pete

Have no fear, it was the price of insurance compared to my Almera that attracted me as a serious buyer... £1250/ year. Yes, that's a lot. But it's a grand for a 1.5 Almera...
Heh, that's what the TC's for... nah, I'll be treating it with kid gloves. As I did on the test drive... where I had my seat set, I couldn't see the speedo without ducking... bit of a shock a couple of times...
Cheers guys. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hay[ch305]rl[ch305] olsun (in my language is a wish that will bring you good days)
Nice one. Wish I could pronounce it... Quote
Proper Job Pete. Where did you get it from? How much? Where's the pics?
Sounds like a top motor.
Barclay Motor Company, in Birmingham. They have some nice motors there - Audis, BMWs new and old... and a newshape Jag XJR. In black. With huge multispoke wheels. I'd not fancy one myself, but being in black, that thing had presence.
Was up for £4995, I got him to include a basic service, pair of tyres, balance and tracking all round, and a couple of other bits... not a bad price, I reckon, considering the amount of kit its got...
I'll get some pics when it's clean, they're going to do it inside and out, but then it'll get the works as soon as I bring it home. I like my cars to be clean enough to show up sweat handprints...
Set off at about half three this morning, having finished work about 2... had about six stops on the way down for Red Bull, fresh air and a walk, and still had two hours to kill. Test drove it (awesome), talked figures, settled on a deal.
I'll be going down maybe Thursday, then I've got Thurs and Friday nights off work, and Sat'days my 20th. So for at least a day, I'll be 19... with a V6.

After a couple of well-laid plans going to waste, I've got myself the perfect car. 2.6 MV6, on an 02 plate, full VX service history... about 72k on the clock (so cambelt kit is first priority). Silver, got everything except leather interior, which bothers me not one iota...
Going to pick it up later in the week, once he's put new tyres, and a couple of niggly bits right... and cleaned it of course.
Expect a lot of questions from me, after I've dug thorugh the existing topics of course.

Pete

General Discussion Area / NorthEast VX specialists?
« on: 06 October 2007, 17:18:33 »
This will be the first of many, I apologise...
Anyone recommend a decent VX specialist, or a garage thats good with V6 Omegas...? I'm based on Teesside, so anywhere from County Durham, to North Yorkshire, and anywhere in between would be ideal.

I've seen some red MV6 omega's for sale, I believe they come from Irish plod ... so would be basic spec if that's the case ...+
Hmm. Having watched Road Wars et al... wouldn't fancy an ex-police car. Yes, meticulously maintained, but there's i) the low spec, ii) the whole speed bumps at 30-40-50mph, and iii) wouldn't like to think how many fluids have been soaked into the seats...
I'm making enquiries, waiting for a callback about it now... before I drive 230-odd miles to see it.

On closer inspection, they seem ot have added "metallic rubens red" - what do we think of the colour, chaps? http://imageserver.autoexposure.co.uk/autoedit/AETA40921/AETV35490708_1b.jpg
ETA pic of Omega in the colour... not the sameo ne I'm looking at though.

Ey up
Think this is only my second post, I've been lurking quite a bit.
I'm hunting down a nice V6 Omega... one for sale is described as "red" and there's no pictures. It's an Mv6, quite a late model I think. Now... is this going to be in a solid (I'm thinking... Corsa Flame Red) or metallic (that hotrod candy-apple colour)? I don't recall seeing one of either...
Also, am I right in thinking that true MV6s are top-spec models, while plod MV6s were high HP etc, but lower=specced interior?

Pete
