Title: How many do you see in a day?
Post by: VX1 on 03 September 2007, 21:36:12
Whilst doing my job (driving alot) going backwards and forwards to west oxfordshire the amount of Omega's I see is unbeleivable. As they go passed, either pass me or going in the opposite direction, I do look to see if they have the OOF sticker's in the window, alas they don't. So with all these Omega owners what are they doing about there car's? Not all of them are company car owners as most of them are the prefacelift omega's, and some of them are the older generation. Do they have very deep pockets whilst they are drawing there pension's or is it a case they don't service them regulary? I must see at least 15 omega's a day, I must admit I have put an advert in the free ads so lets just see what happens, see if we get more member's.

Probably see about three a day on my daily drive, all facelifts, all private plates, did try flashing the lights but they're all too miserable round this neck of the woods to respond.

I've just driven 500 miles round Yorkshire last week and saw no more than a dozen Omega's.  I managed to slip flyers on 5 but the others got away.

Most poular model ...star silver facelifts, 3 in total and 3 burgundy pre-facelifts too - lots of CDX's.

I don't see that many but I often see a "fire rescue" thingy around the town.

Saw 3 near Evesham on Saturday (trying to avoid the M5) but no others for the rest of the journey :-/

Whilst in Modbury near plymouth on holiday I saw a lots of miggys, its the most i have seen consentrated in one area, some of them I waved to as i past, to be honest a lot did wave back.
Strange, everytime we go out in our miggys and we see another, we all look, even the driver of the other looks, I wonder if drivers of other cars look as they pass one simular to theirs, I used to drive a cavalier and I never noticed other cavs, it must be an omega thing, why.

Lots around Chester, recognise most of them.

Probably average 10 per day, local cabbies just seem to have found them as well.

Only ever seen 1 OOF sticker 'in the wild'

I,m in Cov and see 5-6 a day i am keeping a eye out for Bo Bo as he is around Cov to and will keep one out for VX2 V6 as he is just up the road. :y

Somthing about the Omega when you see one go by they look as if there are in no rush and are the kings of the roads.

I thing that some people thing that they are still under cover police cars thanks to RoadWars on sky.

I wonder if any one on the forum have any of the cars from Road Wars?.

see, this is why i think i should put my OOF sticker in the offside passenger window insted of the back, i pass plenty of omegas, but there's only ever been one behind me in the entire 8 months i've owned mine, but would putting the window down cause the sticker to peel after a while?
