General Discussion Area / Want a loan?
« on: 29 September 2014, 08:14:00 »
Apparently, soon to be 'rolled out' is a personality test to gain a loan. So STMO should be able to borrow millions??

HPI reports?? For the first time ever I paid to use HPI check, dunno why, just a feeling? Car is 8 years old and has had 7 owners?? hmmmm? Apart from its original VRM it has had 3 plate changes, but here's the rub. Each time it has been returned to its original VRM up has popped, 'This VRM has been recorded as having an outstanding finance agreement'. 
I e-mailed the finance company to ask if they still had an interest in this vehicle? No response yet? I e-mailed the dealer and asked about the outstanding finance? his reply: 'Yes it was on finance with Motonovo finance.. This finance has now been settled and is fully HPI clear! This was settled several weeks ago'. 'Is it time to walk away??

« on: 29 August 2014, 07:34:39 »
Just watching CNN and saw that Google have been trialling a 'delivery drone' in Australia. Apparently Amazon have been doing the same. How long before they can manage a complete 3ltr Omega exhaust system, not that neighbours would be too pleased about it landing on their conservatory??

Newbie Welcome Area
If you are new, pop in here and say hello. We don't bite and this way you will be sure one of the regulars makes you welcome 'I wonder which wag will point out that more than ONE regular has replied'

Previously reading another 'plaintive cry' about lack of response, I noted that the author had NOT replied to any posts from others around the same time..?? But ALWAYS replied to any posts from an Admin? Perhaps instead of chatting all manner of 'crap' in Gen Dis those stuck up their 'own backsides' could bother to make newbies WELCOME and invite them into the Forum.
Something I have never experienced, but then I have only been a member for 4 plus years, and in honesty not posted very much, the main reasons being:
Very few replies to my, important to me posts, but, should one of the girls ask something as important as, which 'colour to paint the gate', 7,000,000 replies???
Being beaten to a reply.
Technical jargon which goes right 'over my head'.
Incessant posts about phone apps, how did the world survive all these years without them?
No desire to attain a fictitious rating, i.e. Omega Surf, Omega Lord etc etc. earnt sometimes simply by posting an emoticon? I wonder if newbies initially think that these attainments denote the person's expertise with the Omega??
'Awwww poor me'..
Come on lads, WELCOME newbies into the fold.
Time for me to run for cover......
No offence intended...

General Discussion Area / Bl**dy Audi..... 'Embarrassed'.
« on: 08 July 2014, 01:09:56 »
Trundling around the A46 minding my own business on the way to Hemswell Cliff at a steady 60 - 65 when suddenly there's one of those bl**dy Audi repmobiles stuck up my chuff. 'Aha' thought I, almost onto the dual carriageway, just press that little button on top of the stick, and 'gun it' off of the roundabout. Give that blooming 2ltr diesel a facefull of dust... Wait for it... Wait. O.K. Shove the 'loud pedal'... "ROOOAAAARRRR"...... As I get left sitting red faced with what appears to be half the population of Lincolnshire peering out of their cars at ME. Took a quick look at the back of the Audi, 'HuH'? That doesn't say 2 L diesel... it says.......RS4... Damn...

General Discussion Area / Waddington Airshow.
« on: 05 July 2014, 10:24:48 »
Traffic in Lincoln at a standstill this morning, tremendous amount of cars heading for the Waddington show, I hope the weather clears for them all, as well as me. Being an Omega owner I'm 'careful' with money, and live just 3 miles from the airfield, so am hoping for clearer skies to get a 'free show'. The Saab Draken kicked it off nicely yesterday...
