Welcome to the site :)

I'm guessing that the 2 cars won't compare on fuel economy either  :P
so skip the v6 and get a diesel like mine ;D :y



Not even close on fuel econonmy  :D lol, even under 'enthusiastic' driving  :y I'm still in the high 40's mpg, high 60's mpg when driving 'conservatively'  :o ( I often do, I must be growing up!)
and it's only £35 a year road tax
It's got a/c , leccy windows n power steering but it's not exactly luxurious.
But, it does leave almost anything behind from a standing start, the torque is excellent and it's a nice wee cheap thrill hehe

I used to have a mk2 Mondeo Ghia X, all the toys, leather etc etc
ST kit, lowered 55mm on Spax, 18" BK 399's and a de-cat no silencer custom full zorst system
(the real reason I don't want diesel, you can't get a nice note from them,  *Not a Boy Racer, Honest!!!!*  :P)

This thing had presence coming out of it's... well, u get the point, and it had been *cough*  fiddled with so it wasn't slow either

I'll put some pics up If I can fiind the file...

This is why I want an Elite, because they're big, comfy, filled with Toys and with the right touches, can be made to look stunning, and a 3.0 V6 ain't exactly gonna struggle up a hill

I really hope I won't be dissapointed with 'off the mark' pace from an Omega compared to The Fiest  :-/

Hi Colv and welcome. A 3.0 Elite has got to be more fun than a Fiesta.  ;)

That's true, I'm not sure how the initial acceleration will compare...
but you just can't get a tiny wheel base FWD Fiesta to go round a corner quite how a car *cough* should *cough* [smiley=laugh.gif]
lift-off oversteer is about as close as it gets in 'The Fiest' (affectionately named)

I drive buses all day everyday so i'm looking for the stress relief of absolute comfort and good old counter-steer fun after a, err, 'hard days graft' of driving sensibly lol

Hey Folks, how we all doing?

I'm known as Colv (real name Davie Colvin)
and at the mo I don't have an Omega but one shall be mine, oh yes, one shall be mine!
I've always liked the omega just for the sheer prescence of them on the road so I've decided it's about time I had one to call my own
That being the case, sense tells me here is a great place to find out exactly what I'm getting myself in to huh lol

At the mo I have a 55 plate Fiesta 1.6TDCi (tiny, no presence, no comfort...but goes like sh#* off a shovel and costs £35 a year on road tax :y)
and I'll miss her when she goes, but I'm pretty sure a 3.0l V6 Elite will sort that out, thats what I'm intending to get anyway... ;D

The grill is deffo an improvement, I like it  :y

and oh my could it be? The colour isn't graphite at all is it?
I've never seen another Omega the same colour as mine but your's does look to be!
Does it have a bronze tinge in the sunlight at all?

Omega Gallery / several layers of polish later...
« on: 24 March 2010, 22:05:23 »
Well, the plan is to properly concentrate on the 10 years of drive-thru car wash swirl marks a panel at a time so we went around the car with a cutting compound to take out any minor blemishes then on the bonnet (phase 1 of the plan) there's 2 layers of meguiars cleaner wax, a layer of Autoglym deep shine, a layer of carnuba harley wax and another layer of cleaner wax!! the rest of the body is just a layer of cleaner wax and the results are loverly!





I'm certainly happy with the results, for a 10 year old car she looks immaculate  :y
