Mine is Nocturnal (or what ever the proper name is) - I'm looking forward to getting it up to my standards of paintwork - having said that, MrsGK fell in love with it as soon as she saw it...

Lizzie, that is absolutely stunning - love that colour. Am I taking cock of the poppiest variety, or did Pat and Carl have one in that hue on Road Wars?

Nice car Lizzie but for the Irmschers there is really no other colour but Star Silver for best effect.

I'm not normally keen on Star Silver, but I must admit that yours looks very striking where I've seen it parked at Farnborough Main station.  :y :y :y

Would be even better if I cleaned it more often.

I am still tempted to have some body work done on the various scratches but it is a lost cause when you have to use station parking.

I am also one of those black front grilles missing in the bumper but is it worth it?

LZ - that is a stunning example going by the pics. For me, personally, although I like the colour (had a few other cars in not dissimilar colour), I don't think it suits a bigger car.  I had a PFL in that colour, and thought the same then. Its a colour that always seems to polish up nice though, and is different from the usual black, silver and gunship grey that all big cars are now.

As to using the gears, I'm old enough to have been taught to drive on the gears, so I refer the (dis)honourable (:P) lady to my previous comment of prescribing some decent country roads ;D.

Although, with a stunner of a car like that, I can understand the reluctance to treat it gently :y

I'd be scared to drive that, Lizzie, in case anyone hit it. Insurance companies think they can pay absolute peanuts for a claim on an omega.

They may think that but when they deal with me they don't get away with it. My green 2.5 was written off back in 2009, and I insisted that I obtain another Omega at least as good after they tried to fob Mel off. The result was I ended up with another Omega, of the same year, but a 3.0 Elite, 15k less miles, and they bought it for a price higher than my w/o Omega had been worth. The difference was about £500!

That Omega was attempted to be written off when I received a bump in Sainsbury's car park, but once again after an argument I persuaded the insurance company (the AA) to have another garage repair it.

I am now back with the AA, and they better look after my current mighty!! ;D :D ;)
