Just watched Big Blue's new owner drive her away.

Ending many years of Omega ownership.

They've been good, pity they stopped making them.

True, there are some very nice ones still out there,but the boys from N.I are taking them back over to the Emerald Isle never to been seen again :'( I've just seen a 1994 one on for three grand and a very nice one at that,so yes definitely there's still a few good ones to be found :y

Big Blue was a nice example. I remember it when Bob Dent owned it. Must be nearly 10 years ago !
Its weird being the same age as old people !

Jimbob

Yes. We've had it the last 6 1/2 years but the time has come.

Every owner from new has been on here...a definite forum car
Paul lovejoy. Big rod. Bob.dent. Jimbob/ljay

Owned it from 2010 to 2015 & maintained it regardless of cost , now probably going to the scrappy 😧

LOL, so the admin mob here, only 2 of us now have an Omega ;D.

Not that I ever get to use mine, Mrs TB always uses it.
Grumpy old man

Was a bit surreal watching it drive off with its old drive mate!  The red car and the blue car back together again!

I had forgotten about Paul Lovejoy being the first owner. He told me about it when he paid a visit and we had a cuppa in our back garden one sunny day.
Not long after that he was gone. Poor fella.  :(
That car must have more OOF history than any other Omega.
