Admins, can we have this thread as a sort of permanent one like 'what have you done to your car today'?
SPOTTED 17/09/12
08:05am White Omega Saloon FL on Colthrop Lane in Thatcham, outside Harrods waiting to cross the level crossing. Model unknown, year unknown, but it looked like it had those Irmscher wheels that TB has, forgotton the name of them.
16:00pm approx, Silver Omega Saloon MV6 FL, year 2002, passing on Robin Hood roundabout in Newbury going towards Hungerford.
16:05pm approx, Silver Omega Estate CDX FL, year unknown (private plate), parked next to the vets at Buger King roundabout in Newbury
Anybody's?

Nice idea but might be short lived, traveled from Bristol to Middlesbrough and back the other week saw one in 10hrs and 500miles of driving. Seems like the only other time i see another Omega in Bristol is when i pay RobG a visit. :( :( :y :y

Seriously though, the Thames Valley seems to be a hotspot for them, i spend about 40mins everyday going to work and back and in that time, i always see at least one (apart from mine). :o

I kept seeing a black saloon (with full Irmscher bodykit and 18" Sportstars) everywhere I went for the last few days ::)
-

-
There's one round the corner from me in the same colour, 52 plate so newer than mine but really tatty. Makes me smile when I see it. But it has CID. Bare jel :-X

Dark blue estates very popular near me. :)

I'm surprised you haven't seen a blue estate or red saloon parked outside as well as I spend a bit of time there ::)
-
I live in the Eccleston area in St. Helens. Omega's alive and kicking round here. I have 2 (one going on ebay in a couple of weeks). A bloke further down the round has a nice silver example and in the next street there is a gold 03 model.

Although we did see an inferior mini face lift estate in silver. ;)
-
Spotted 02 elite estate in burgundy coming the opposite way to me tonight - thought I was driving into a mirror at first
First time i've seen this one and quite close to home.
I have seen at least 6 other migs in the last 9 months or so but no one else on here owns up to being in "The Dale" ( ::) waiting for sarky comment's)
mmmmm? wonder what the %age is of owners to OOF'ers is :-\
-
TB, was it the inferior PFL you had with you today?
If so, I'm suprised you didn't return to find this attached to your car...

There's a few Omega's around where I live, a '53' CD with odd wheels, 16'' versions of the late style Elite wheel, I've seen them on a few other very late CD's aswell...there's also an ex met police 3.2 Elite down the road. Any Omega parked opposite in the pub, people assume is mine ;D
-

Complete with rust :-X
-
the White miggy, as per very first post, saw it again this morning, its an early FL 2000/2001, debaged, but i was a bit concerned as it had 18" VXR snowflakes on it, ive heard they are like chocolate? if this is true, then not good for a 2tonne car. :-\
-
I only see about one a week around here. Including a dark blue estate like mine. Haven't managed to have a word with him yet.
I nearly feel like waving when I see another Miggy. Sad or what? ::)

Last monday afternoon

He kindly returned to light speed so i pulled up alongside & big grins all around.

I often feel this some times already waved to them instinctly but no answer just empty and foolish twinkling :-( On here unfortunately there is no serious mig-minded community, this car is not really common.
-
A Silver 2001 Elite will be on the M3, M25 and M1 tomorrow if you want to line the streets - at 5.30am !! on way to Luton and then by plane to Gdansk
-
Saw an Elite estate today on the A4123 heading into Wolverhampton, private reg V 6 AUX or something similar. :y
Car looked mint and very nice colour, just wondered if it was anybody on here??
-
I saw a nice silver 2.6 estate in the Paddock behind the pit garages at Brands Hatch today :y
-
Saw an 03 silver V6 saloon, CDX i think, pulling off the M62 J18 to M60 about 7:30 tonight. Waved but no response :-[ :(

Another spotted in Newbury, again, Robin Hood roundabout turning south onto A339 yesterday at 12:45pm, A rather tidy 1998/99 S plate, silver Elite astate. I was behind it at the lights and gave it a flash, until I saw the two, very oldish grandma's in the front haha :-[

I live in the Eccleston area in St. Helens. Omega's alive and kicking round here. I have 2 (one going on ebay in a couple of weeks). A bloke further down the round has a nice silver example and in the next street there is a gold 03 model.
Not far from me in Huyton, often cutting through Eccleston to go to Lookers for parts
-
Black f/l omega again in town heading towards kettering , must get closer to see if its a desmond or not :-\
-
Christ, another in Newbury, 15:20pm, Bear Lane Roundabout, Silver FL, model unknown, year unknown as it had private plate, BEX at the end i think, and it had a pikey bar on with twin electrics.
-
Gold coloured P reg CD i think, spotted living just round the corner from me :) in very good nick for its age.
-
There's a 2.6 Burgundy, seen here, in Melton, not sure of year, Saw a silver one in a village near Blaenau Ffestiniog (parked on kerb) two weeks back, They are the only one's I've seen in the last few weeks.
-

-
Blue Saloon (Elite ?) reversing away from the police and smashing into parked cars on Road Wars last night
Today a Burgundy Estate passed right outside the house I'm working on in Whitworth, near Rochdale. Though it was mine being nicked :o :o until I noticed it was a T reg TD with a tailgate spoiler :-[
That's is now two Burgundy Estates I've seen in as many week's. Never seen one round here before that.
-
A blue 03 saloon (Elite I think) travelling south on A1 just before joining A1M at around 3:30 today - travelling slowly (or was I travelling fast when I overtook it) ???
Car looked mint though.
-
I saw three Omegas today:

-
slightly OT but I find this site fascinating - 'how many left?' - http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=vauxhall+omega (http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=vauxhall+omega) - there's still quite a few migs out there... but the numbers have fallen dramatically since the peak.
-
hhmmm, interesting ::)
-
None spotted today apart from mine, sat gleaming in the sun in Harrods car park ::)
But i did see an Apache Helicopter fly right over Newbury heading due south, what a sight, and noise :o :D

Frequently to be seen flying over and around mine, sometimes normally low enough that you can count the rivets ;) ;)
-
saw a silver mfl saloon on the A47 when i was heading east last friday. flashed it, looked in very good condition.
-
Ive seen a couple of times, a P plate PFL estate, dark brown in colour and has steelies on it as its got wheel trims, dont know what spec it is either, hopefully i will see it again, its in a very tidy condition given its age.
-
considering we have more than 12k of members you would have thought we would bump into each other all over the place really. :)
-
I don't even bother waving now at other Omega drivers here, as I never get anything other than a nonplussed stare back :(
-
5.00p.m. yesterday a silver pfl/mfl on M18 where it crosses over A1,it was heading for Rotherham/Sheffield/M1,I was heading other way.
12.30p.m. today a black pfl on M62 heading toward Manchester from the west.
5.00p.m. today a silver fl on Oswald Road in SLady bitshorpe.
-
Yet another Burgundy Estate coming opposite way to me near the football ground this morning. That makes 4 spotted in the area including mine.
On a private plate, XX JCB with a load of ladders on top. Flashed and think I got a wave back :o
I am now claiming "The Dale" as the capital of Burgundy Estates ::) ;D
-
theres quite a few in pembrokeshire where i live 8)
-
Did 400 miles on Saturday, didn't see a single Miggy :(
