Nope, but I am curious as to what it is :)

Let's have another stab...

Well there we have my beast. Possibly not to some of your tastes, as it's dirty, loud and just plain naughtiness. But I like it. It puts up with my abuse too. :D
-
Dont know why 2 of them are smaller?
-
Loving the rims. What are they?? :D

Why, merci.
They're called Steinmetz. Rare and old. they're 17's by about 7.5, have an agressive offset and wear 235/45 tires.
-
Cool!! I have just been looking at the Steinmetz site. I notice you have done some ultra cool subtle body mods. Were they Steimetz too??

The exact opposite of my car, white and dirty... and I love it. :y

Body wise, it's just lowered, and has a 'de-baged' grill. A Nurburgring sticker (as i've been there) and lots of road grime.

A ate of mine took that pic. I like the way the sky is, in a rainy Germany. I think he has some special camera - worth more than my car?!

but not as much fun
nice picture tho
-
No guess the car is more fun...:D
Well a quick rundown on the history/spec is:
3.0 MV6 With Thames Valley Plod Mods. (Anyone actually know what the law does to them? Just ECU remap?)
De-Catted exhaust with a Cobra twin 4" back box.
K+N Pannel Filter.
Air-Con disconnected.
Police spec close ratio 5spd 'box.
Police lightened flywheel.
Police LSD.
KW variant2 coilovers.
Cobra Monaco bucket seats, with the rest of the interior standard.
TRS 4point harnesses.
A few other bits here and there, but these are the main smile factor ingredients.

looks the part low n mean
i wonder how many people have bricked it when they've seen you in their rear view mirror
daz :y
-
It's quite amusing how quickly people get out the way when I come up behind them. Can really bully people on the motorway!*
*Obviously i'm not condoning such behavour.....;)
-
Looks good bet it sounds mean as well. You should try and get some video footage and post it mate :y :y :y
-
how long have you had the car??
Palmer3914 had a white MV6 track car also on steinmetz alloys, could you be the new owner??
-
Now thats a mean looking Omega.....niiiiiiiice :y

You say that your rims are only 17's, but with and agressive offset, they look a lot bigger than that, more like 18 or 19's. What's the "Ring" like in real life, I've only been around it a couple of hundred times on "GT4" not quite the same :'(, I will have a go next year for real :)
-
The wheels are definatly 17's. I took one off today...F#@king puncture!
I actually think they are 8" or 8.5" wide, with, I believe, a et21 offset. I do agree, they look much bigger.
The 'Ring, in real life is scary. In the dry, it's not too bad, but can get quite busy. In the wet, however, is a different story! That video was literally as fast as we could go. It's soo damn slippery - and I found none of the corners actuall resemble the game!
Unfortunatly, unlike in the game, you cant just press reset. If it does go all Pete Tong, thats it - You're brown bread, or worse off, have a hefty fine and have no car!
-
I LOVE your motor, an absolute ANIMAL! Sorry to hear of your plight with the slight 'impact' :( Hope you manage to get fixed up again and keep them fantastic wheels!
Video is mint! :y

They're dead. Well 2 of them are, and they're now obsolete. Where to go to find some replacements?
If all else fails, where to go to find some rims that look half as good?
-
Is that Palmers old car??

I've been to Nurburg a couple of times but I had FWD. My mate took his prefacelift MV6 the first year and it got shall we say....SCARY. Especially popping the out the other side of the Karousel sideways and slightly airborn ;D
......and that was 5 up!!!! 3 English and 2 Germans, We didn't speak much German and they didn't speak much English but the unanimous yell was F@~K!!!!!!!!
Makes me want to take mine but got a wedding to save up for now. Did you stay campsite or hotel mate? We stopped at the hotel down by Adenau bridge. Top pics!!! :y
-
Just checked the doc's, there has definatly been a Palmer on the owners list...
-
If it's Palmers old car he bought the Steinmetz wheels with V good tyres off E bay for about £250 .I was after them until I found out the ET offset.
