Hello Jay. Cant really see what benefits would be gained from having two forums running together. This one is great for omega owners and just about has everything covered. Thanks anyway.

have to agree with some of the above comments, its going to be very hard to create a forum for all Vx cars, its better off to have one for each model, that way people on that forum know that car inside out.

Same way if an Astra owner comes here (like STMO for example  ;D) comes along with an issue, we have fairly limited info, would advise to join an Astra Forum. For some reason s0d off does not work on him  :D

This forum was spawned from a generic Vx forum, you will get a split of communities (the body kit Corsa lads, vs family Meriva owners)

As said by others, your site is obviously new and looking for info/advice.  My tuppenceworth echo's Tunnies in that OOF was spawned from a site that cateres for ALL Vauxhall models/varients and the Omega section soon became greater than the whole to accomodate, hence OOF.

To try and reinvent a generic VX site with the existing competition (without naming names, easily found by a search....) I think you may well struggle.  You need a hook - age of member / car, engine/body modifications / paint jobs / ICE etc and its on this count, i think you may well have an uphill struggle.

Good luck with your venture, however....     :y
