How long have owned your Omega?
« on: 24 September 2015, 08:40:33 »
Which member of OOF has owned his Omega the longest?
I bought my ex demonstrator in May 2001. It was first registered on the 2 March 2001. 14 1/4 years later and it's still my daily transport.

Can't match anyone's on here, however, as I bought Pissy from my father it has been in the family since 2004, I think, so 10-11 years and 179k miles and counting  :)

I got mine first time round in 2007, but it went away for three or four years.

Bought mine in January 2014 with no belt history but knew it would need doing - sure enough 2 weeks later it snapped and trashed 16 of the valves... got a new pair of heads (Vectra Challenge #020 engine) now fitted and it's been fine except for the coilpack/dispack :)

My 1998 MV6 is 12yrs in November, as bought in 2003 when it was 5yrs old, and 88k.

Now allegedly at 224k, but went a long while with no ABS ECU signal ::)

All my Omegas I've owed, in order of buying:

1998 MV6 (aka "The Silver Bullet") - 12yrs, covered 136k in my ownership, still my favourite, and daily runner.
1996 CD (aka Project TB1, "The Heap") - a few months, sold.
1998 TD Elite (aka Project TB2, "TRACTOR!") - 2+ yrs, approx. 20k, sold to forum member. Miss that car. My 2nd favourite Omega.
2000 2.5 Elite (aka "Goldie/Golden Nugget") - about 6 weeks, it took exception to a thrashing, and let go. Broke for parts.
2003 3.2 Elite (aka "TBE/The Grey Dart") - 5+yrs, approx. 50k, Mrs TB claims its her car now ::)
