Once upon a time .........

there was A N Other Vauxhall forum ... I honestly can't remember which, that had a section the the Omega owners tended to use rather that the main section that theChavtastic Astramax Coursa Boyz used. It was said that the Omega owners were being aloof and weren't joining in with the rest of them. A few toys were thrown from various prams .....  ;)

Step forward the 2 afore mentioned admins, who set up & developed what you see here.  :y  :y  :y  :y

As Andy said, a few of us used to be in the Omega section on another VX forum 3 ot 4 years ago until a few things went a bit Pete Tong. OOF was then set up by Laidback66 (no longer on here) MarksDTM and The Boy. A few other members in the Omega section on this other forum were then invited to come over to OOF and the rest is history. :y

Oops, I thought I was missing one more name involved in setting up OOF.....how could I forget Ronnie McBurger!! :y

Does this mean that TB and MDTM are banned from 'the other forum'?

Is there such a thing as self-imposed exile?  ;D

I remember that I had just found that other site, but missed the political wrangling of the time, and received a friendly invite to this forum as it was introduced.  :y

218 diesel, complete with a bloody great bolt in the tyre.  Glad I did borrow her dads pikey van and car (no way will I ever have a shin breaker on my cars), as it provided:

a) Warmth - it was BLOODY COLD that night
b) Slightly more sound insulation from the chavs revving the nuts off their chavmobiles at 4am

Which reminds me further - Allenm's car obviously just wanted to go to the scrapyard.  It ate another cambelt a few weeks later.  Then Marks DTM Calib bought it, fixed it up yet again, then decided that the car in front made a better set of brakes that using the middle pedal  :P

Yep I remember Allenm's car......MDTM and Allen were late in arriving at Santa Pod as they'd only just finished putting his heads back on. That's one Omega that was never destined for a long life. ::)
