Omega Owners Forum

[Sir Tigger KC]

I think that there should be a 'Handbags Section' where members can go to have a pop at each other, generally fall out and act like kids!!    That should give the rest of us plenty of room to dicuss politics/bollix, gardening and the merits of poly bushes!

Personaly this day and age you get nothing for free and would not expect to. Saying that i would prefer to pay somebody who knows what there are doing Even when money is in short surply. For example my old mechanic moved house and needed it painted so i painted his house and he serviced my car and fixed my wifes car. All happy no money exchanged hands.

I wont be getting into any debate subject.. but I must say my omega is 15 years old.. still in good nick and I will continue to spend for it as far as I have in my pocket.. Just recently purchased new alloys which requires custom built spacers/pcd changers.. and finally I have finished the problem of 5x110 standard..

Late into this one for various assorted reasons, but, here goes.

It is appreciated that OOF, by its very nature, is a transient thing and thus forever evolving.  Its how it evolved from Vxon, FFS....

But that said, there is a still pervading requirement for the standards enviseaged at origin to be maintained throughout.  Pity we didn't maintain that subsequently.      

I think we shot ourselves in the foot, admin wise, over the DLK/JB/LJ debacle.

Isn't 20/20 hindsight a wonderfull thing???

Given the chance to revisit whats past, well, I think I would have caused us to have a very different OOF if that were to materialise.   

Yes, the admin team took too long to resolve an issue but, that said, the admin team work (or have available) different times to be online and that, by its very nature, means extended times to come to concensus and result.

Yes, perhaps a problem with outspoken members should have been addressed differently, very much earlier, which would probably have resolved the immediate matter in hand but would have had longer term implications that would bite us in times to come.

Bottom line, however, is...

We are where we are.

OOF's initial concept was to provide a forum where owners could get information, advice and hands on assistance (for free!!!) to ensure the marque continues to flourish.  That the owner group has now dropped a social/financial group or several (shoot me, its just an opinion..... ) should be meaningless but, sadly, its a fact.  That some members realised a market for parts or hands on services, well, fair play, says I.  Just don't strip the golden teet.

Clique???  Quite possibly but, as said earlier, some on here started as keyboard warriors (like some now.....) but made the effort to enjoy meets, get dirty hands, have a few tears as well as a few beers and thus, friendships are made.  That said friendships now filter into open forum as it is now, well, just join in and in no time at all, you will also be percieved as part of the 'clique' be a member who joins today.......  Think about it.   

Whether this marque, like numerous historic others, survives the parts blitz/banger/drift/drag circuit or not remains to be seen but, suffice to say, the forum still continues to be a good meeting place for owners who wish to maintain, improve and continue to enjoy what, to me anyway, is a well presented luxury car at pleasant money on todays listings.

I'm drivelling a tad now but, hopefully, my point is appreciated.

As to new sections and stuff.  Keep the ideas coming.  New cars simply would not appear if it were not for concepts.....
