Title: dangerous omega spotted in Irlam
Post by: Ryanmt on 08 November 2008, 16:10:44
Was somebody off here as it had a omegaowners.com sticker on the back window

R reg dark blue Elite estate.

Its got a very buckled wheel on the rear as im sure you know.. i was pondering how dangerous it was to drive like that but i soon found out when you overtook that car, cut up somebody coming on the opposite direction and proceeded to have the car snake all over the road when you pulled back in.

Was fully expecting to find you in a hedge further down the road.

if its the one i'm thinking of, its no longer a member's car, it was sold by elite pete a good while back

he's sold 2 dark blue estates, one went to Wigan (i think) and the other one to Leigh

The R-reg one isn't an Elite then if it was Pete's, but is an MV6.

Had Irmscher kit on it, he swapped bits over to his elite (including the leathers).

The Elite was S-reg tho, I'm sure the MV6 was on an R plate.

deffo had an elite sticker on the boot. looked fairly standard body wise, the alloys looked bigger 17" maybe. Sticker was quite a big one going across the rear window.

It wasn't down the bypass, was down the twisty road leading to Clutcheth thats just on the outskirts. Not somewhere thats easy to overtake, especially with a bent wheel!

Pete did swap the rear hatch's over on the Estates as the MV6 did have the irmy bits on.  so the Elite badge probably stayed on the old boot when moved over.

Thats right, the Elite hatch went on the MV6.  I used to live on Broadway in Irlam many, many years ago.
