I drove down to Aylesford to see a friend earlier this morning and passed a green facelift Omega estate. As we passed, the driver of the other Omega gave a little wave.. I was so taken aback by this rather nice gesture of camaraderie that I barely had time to wave back! :y
I just wondered it it was a fellow OOF'er?
I must confess I felt all warm and fuzzy inside afterwards.. ;D
Anyone else experience this sort of thing now and then? :)
-
Yep - with other Triumph TR drivers - not noticed it yet with Omega drivers
-
I always wave at other mig drivers, mostly get a wave back along with the occasional puzzled look ;D ;D
-
Mmm... Perhaps we should create a special OOF salute to be used when you spot another Omega!! ;D
-
Use to get a wave everytime from fellow V-Dub owners back in the 70's ;D ;D
Omega owners, not one :-[
Infact, I spoke to one at a filling station recently about his estate, he was a right miserable b******* :(

Well in that case, maybe the special salute should be 'The Finger' ;D:y ;)
-
cant say i have, majority of people around here with migs and old people - mines usually just gets funny/disgusted looks from them ;D
Everyone waves when i have the beetle old though, especially people in older cars :y

Still, even now, wave at BT van drivers ;D
-
dont be so bloody soft!
bikers nod, but there is a sub group of harley types that only acknoledge other harleys, its all gay if you ask me, unless you know the driver, stop it, you'll give us all a bad name. ;D :-* ;)

Yup[/highlight]
Small world huh? I work for BT in Liverpool, office based now but was a jointer for some years. You're better off out of it, not the same company it used to be. :(

LOL, although I don't work for them, you'll still find me on desktop ;)
Done loads of jobs there, most satisfying was probably as a linesman (gave that up when the multiskilling came out - I was useless at UG fault finding (we found out later that the field manager ensured all the ex-linesmen had faulty meggers and moles).

Seems that putting obstacles in your way is now company practice, I think the idea is to depress you so much you want to leave without taking the severence payment. I have 8 years to go before I retire and without wishing my life away it cant comequickly enough. :(
