What have you got out of your Omega!!!
« on: 10 November 2007, 16:54:46 »
Well today I was driving along the M4 this morning at approx 08:00 and saw a big gap in the traffic. SOOOOOOOOOOO.....................


I decided to put my foot down and see what I can get out of her. She done me proud clocked 130mph, as soon as I got to that speed off came the foot and gently slowed down to 75 - 80mph. I was proud of my 12 year old car she got to that speed. Vx's figures state 114 mph for the 2.0ltr!!!!.

What have you got YOUR car too to see what she can do?

Never above 140 out of the MV6. Still pulling well, but I had caught up with the others in the convoy by then.

I haven't taken any Omega to its maximum speed yet, but they have all been quite quick.

I had 130 out of my first 2.5 V6... but I have grown up since then, far to dangerous games on UK roads, for both public safety, and your licence!
