Have to agree with you on Mike's car,I saw it at the Lakes last year and dribbled quite a lot.It was very tasteful and the kind of car I can only dream of owning as I am at the other end of Omega ownership,i.e. skint and my motor is mobile scrap !
-
Mine's got the best looking stone chips! ;D
Oh, and the neatest 2.2 lpg installation too ::) ;)
-
Should have different categories for best condition, best looking, ect ect
And two for mine worst condition and worst looking ;D
-
As if you had to ask!!!!! 8-)
-
poll? ;)
-
yup, how do i do a poll and what categories should i put ? :)
maybe the winner could have a special ''oof's best car' avatar? ;) ;) ;)
-
I have some plans, in black.
....and possibly silver too.
But anyway,"mine" is best. Always will be. ;D :y

You know that I was smitten with it Chris - but I now reckon that mine is best!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Plenty of newer prettier better specced Migs than mine on here. I've seen some of them & they are without doubt a credit to thier loving owners..... However......
None have the sinister presence of the Big black Beastie...
....Be afraid.....be very afraid..... :o

Correct :y Bob is around six feet tall yet the tent he brought was about four foot long so he found the back of his Mig a little more spacious to kip in :y
-
It's Bob Dent's :y
-
pah, all wrong. It was Omegatoys 3.6 Lotus Carlton engined & running gear, pre-mini-facelift 2.0 badged GLS :D

Perfect street sleeper, had Lotus Carlton Alloys and exhaust. But the whole bodywork was a standard (including rust) 2.0 GLS.

Possibly? but not seen yours in the flesh, thought the photo's look great :( Mike Dundee's though along with Bob dents and closely followed by the Beastie are the best ones I have seen in the metal..... :y :y :y
-
Other catagories could include
Most gay blue led's
Most postcounts lost the most frequntley
Most blamed for something that they started but others got blamed for
Most air freshners :-X
-
Tunnie is 100% absolutely correct and right. :y
Off for a long lie down now. :o :D ;D
-
All the cars at the cambelt meet looked smart. (those that I had time to look at anyway :)).
Do like the idea of the LC sleeper though, (stroking chin ponderously), but I'm quite partial to mine too. :P
Perhaps a category for most driven in to? >:( :-/

Looking nice..... :y :y
-
Thanks!
Wish it still looked that nice :(
different alloys now, and the black trim is starting to show through the silver.
Working on it tho...
-
must be mine does'nt cost me in petrol ;D ;D :D
-
Mick Dundees as it is both mechanicaly and physicaly in top notch condition.

Must agree, Micks is certainly one of the best!! :y

how about categories of prefacelift, minifacelift etc?
Dont fancy mines chances but could be fun!

I'd never argue with a woman Lizzie, of course you're right ;) ;)
-
I don't know but I have the worst! :o
Only crumb of comfort is that I have the second longest (nearly 12 years) continous tenure of an Omega of anyone on the forum (I believe) after that man Jim who cornered the market. ;D ;D
-
There are a lot of nice ones to chose from, it would be unfair to select just one as a 'best'
For me, personally, it would be my beloved MV6. Its rusty, tatty, tappets bang like a bitch, pisses oil out from somewhere, passenger seat heater is knackered....
...but its been a fantastic little chariot for the past 7.5yrs, 90k, taking me in comfort and style to the south of France (and sometimes even back again!) on multiple occasions. Its been superbly reliable (except its little French episode), fast and fun...
...and it was my first Omega. It was the one that got me in to Omegas. It was the one responsible for me getting involved here (not sure I've forgiven it for that!). It was the one that has made me some very good Omega friends...
...and of all the other Omegas I have owned, and had the honour of driving (which is a fair few), I'm always glad to get back in the Silver Bullet. It always feels "like home".

Very sensible! :y :y ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
-
Other than mine, which is only best because it's mine and owes me nothing ::), there are 3 that spring to mind.
Bob Dent's, Mike Dundee's and Jim's (collection ::))
Although Gixer's latest one has some real potential, even if it's in a colour combo I don't particularly like.
That said, Entwood's is pretty sweet too :-/ Apart from the gay colour :D

I agree with TB, mines a similar age and state to his and I love it to bits. It just fits!
We've done 30000 miles together and she's never let me down (touches wood quickly)
That said, I've always had an eye on Bobs Car! ;)

I know exactly what you are saying :y
I'm sure I wouldn't get on with yours, and you wouldn't get on with mine (forgetting the saloon/estate needs), there is just something that makes it work for us :)
-
Bobs is very nice to drive too. :y. :-X
Now if Mikes/Jims where black..... ;).
-
Bobs car is gorgeous, i should know i washed & handwaxed it & the Telford meet. Think he's changed the wheels now?
Mike Dundee has spent a small fortune on suspension/bodywork & the car is a credit to him. I've seen a few cars at meets that show how much thier oofers love them & i'll never tire of seeing them.
That said beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I bought the Beastie from Hotel21. She was a good car then & i've spent a small fortune making her my own in the last 2 & 1/2 years & still enjoy just looking at her let alone driving her.
It'll be a sad day when she has to make way for the Monaro but that's some time off yet. 8-)

I really appreciate all the nice comments. :y I must admit I fell in love with it when Big Rod had it a few years ago and had to badger him to give me first option on it when he was ready to sell. It does look a little different since I changed the Azev alloys for original MV6 alloys but had to be done.
However, there are plenty of top looking Omega's on here including Mike Dundee's, Nigel's (Entwood), Jim's and Serek's among too many others to name. :y

I have to say that I'm not particularly susceptible to 'fancying cars but must add that when I saw this one I immediately did - there's just something about it that's more than its constituent parts. :-* :-*
Any chance of a couple of pictures to refresh our minds Mr Dent?
-
I test drove a full irmscher black 3.2 mv6 a couple of years ago for a forum member and it is by far my favourite
every possible extra apart from phone and rear seat heating
full kit inc sportstars, full mv6 spec inc alu door trims, AND it had sunroof and colour nav
it was £5000 at the time tho!
-

Now if Mikes/Jims where black..... ;).
You would certainly know Chris ::).......and you didn't bring any duty free's back with you either!! ;D ;D

I need to take some more recent pics and upload them to photobucket first Z as I haven't taken any since I changed the wheels. I'll try and get some done soon. :y
