On the new DVD from Richard Hammond, called "Top Gear uncovered" they crash a perfectly nice CDX 2.5 V6, three times, and then blew it up. It really breaks my heart.

When I see Richard Hammond in the streets, I will poo into my own hand and throw it at him! >:( ( ;D )
No seriously, I cant see anything wrong with the Omega that it has to be destroyed, I mean, I like Top Gear and their destruction, the Marina Piano running gag is epic.
Hopefully the Omega doesnt become a running gag.

ohh dear... still at least they did it in a funny way...
For me personally need to keep some perspective, if I am willing to laugh at them destroying other makes and models of cars, then I got to be prepared to laugh when they destroy one I love...
And lets face it, at least this died a death that has alot of people seeing it.. Not like some idiot ripping it apart of trashing it..

It's only a TV programme! ;D ;D ;D
If you remember they smashed up a maroon coloured Omega ages back in a quarry when they had remote control cars - a 5 series BMW, an Omega and a frog eyed Scorpio IIRC :y
-
Do you remember when the Marina Owners club got all irrate about the destruction of a few Marina's? Maybe we should do the same? ;D
Top Gear is great, and if they want to destroy an Omega...good on 'em. At least it'll bring people's attention to the Omega...and I don't like the pre and mini facelift so don't mind as much.
-
And what if they suddenly decide to drop an Marina on a Facelift model and drop an Piano over that? :) ;D
(If you reading Mr Willman, you're drunk, I didnt wrote what I just wrote ;) )

When I was in the Isle of Wight in August I saw about a dozen Marinas and a couple of Itals parked outside a hotel in Shanklin. 8-)
I was very tempted to tip off the top gear team and dig myself in across the road with a telephoto lens to watch it all kick off. ;D

shall we suddenly complain to bbc about this, do the forum good to get the coverage ;D. But we aren't that anal ;D

Most of the stuff they destroy are just shells from scrappies anyway, you see the car intact for what ?? 2 seconds if that ?? it only needs to give the impression of being a good car..... who knows what state the "other side" was in ??? :)
-
might not pay my tv licence if thats what they are going to do with my money! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

There is a good side to the desruction of Omegas. Everyone that dies, makes ours even more rare & so eventually the price increases ;D ::) ::)

On the passenger side there was missing trim and a dent

Well sure, but so do the prices for spare parts, and Omegas will have faults. ;)
Imagine you have a cracked manifold (...again...) and original 2nd hand manifolds are too expensive, you'll gonna have to buy some chinese aftermarket bullsh*t, which cracks immediatly if you start the engine. ;)
Or the gloveboxhandle broke ...again... and you wont find one that has not beeing molten by fire. :D

These were in better nick than when the disinterested muppets and Cowley had finished with them. Anal levels of polishing (guess it's more fun than driving them ;D).
