Waving hello to fellow Omega drivers!
« on: 03 April 2010, 16:22:22 »
I drove down to Aylesford to see a friend earlier this morning and passed a green facelift Omega estate. As we passed, the driver of the other Omega gave a little wave.. I was so taken aback by this rather nice gesture of camaraderie that I barely had time to wave back!  :y

I just wondered it it was a fellow OOF'er?

I must confess I felt all warm and fuzzy inside afterwards..   ;D

Anyone else experience this sort of thing now and then?  :)

Mmm... Perhaps we should create a special OOF salute to be used when you spot another Omega!!   ;D

Use to get a wave everytime from fellow V-Dub owners back in the 70's ;D ;D

Omega owners, not one :-[
Infact, I spoke to one at a filling station recently about his estate, he was a right miserable b******* :(

Well in that case, maybe the special salute should be 'The Finger'   ;D:y ;)

Small world huh? I work for BT in Liverpool, office based now but was a jointer for some years. You're better off out of it, not the same company it used to be. :(
