Oh, those nasty 1.9TD engines, we know how to get decent power from them  :-X

Just looked it up - they've make a 2.8 V6 - I feel a bit better now  :)

I'm sure it wasn't a 1.9 diesel...  :(  I hope...  :( :( Oh, dear... :'(

I agree that big engined BMW's have got what it takes to out run an Omega for sure.  However, what is important is the skill / bottle of the driver!

I have out paced Merc's, BMW's and a whole collection of high spec sports cars up to 150 mph in my previous 3.0 Elite, but they weren't either up to it as drivers or as mad as me in running at 2.5 miles per minute which I thoroughly enjoy (before someone asks; been driving 37 years and one million miles often at 100+mph ).  They just obviously didn't fancy it, and were probably more sensible than me! ;D ;D ;D  

Their cars however were 'up to it' and us Omega drivers shouldn't kid ourselves otherwise which I know Bighed was not doing. :y

All the big 6 Migs have a fair turn of speed on 'em & we can surprise other cars that see them as Grandad motors. Sadly many new motors are faster than the now outdated Mig but i still love 'em.  
   Mine licks along ok, Markey Mark took it for a "blat" & reckons it pulls well for a 2.5. He knows his Migs so that'll do for me. :y
   I enjoy mine best in 2nd & third gear. 8-)

There was a big Skoda Estate which cut me up at roundabout the other week - once we got back on the dual carriageway, I could barely keep up with him.

Didn't know Skoda made anything fast.

Or has my car run out of steam? :(

I had a go in a brand new one with 90 miles on the clock..

Quite impresive interior and the power was a bit of a surprise, it also had the semi auto tipitromblic thingymajiggy thing in it. :y
