New forum so maybe we should all go round the table and say a little bit about ourselves....

Maybe i should start.

Okay so i am 31, married with one child, 2 wee dogs a gold fish and a horse!

Work in management of Contact Centres and long for the day i can retire ( at 40) and play with engines and play at golf.

Drive the MV6 which i accidentlly bought and then couldnt part with. V reg pre facelift.

Buy all my cars at auctions as a bargain including my wifes volvo v5 engined Safrane, my Dads current Mitsi Galant and my 3 project cars. Total cars in the garage 5. More on that elsewhere and later.

Rovers are my thing and Omegas still scare me a bit - but with the help of the gurus on here, i am learning. I have taught myself about cars so obviously still huge gaps in the knowledge - particularly regarding auto electrics.

Avid football fan as well as being into me motors.

So who else do we have?

ps should say i am almost a dealer  16 cars sold last year, 5 sold this year, 3 stripped and one being renovated.

[RossPhim]

Right here goes.

I'm 37, married with 3 kids eldest is 11 years, youngest is 10 months. Bit of a gap i know but i thought my s3x life was over as well. [smiley=shocked.gif]
Structural designer by trade but currently working in the water industry.
Home is in the north of scotland, so if I see the sun I usually go from blue to grey in colour.
My knowledge of vehicles is very limited, and only consists of what I have been through to get my own Omega though various MOTs. But I'll chip in if I think i can help.
I'm more of a voyeur.
I found you guys on Vxon at the beginning of the year and since then have been an avid reader.

Hi, my name is Steve and I,m an alcoho....sorry, wrong forum.

I'm 53, married to Mo who is a headteacher and drives an MGZT190. One sprog called Ben who has aspergers syndrome so keeps me on my toes!

I find it very strange that I am contributing to a forum dedicated solely to omegas, as if I'd found the forum before I bought the car I'd probably never have bought the car, if you see what I mean.

My knowledge of modern cars is very limited and I hanker for the days when I could climb in with the engine on my triumph herald.(Yes,you really could. Both wings lifted staight up and the engine was about the size of a sewing machine) Ahhh.. those were the days.

Later,Steve

Hello everyone!

I come from the Darkside, and been recurited by our new Omega God... Ronald McBurger! (previous name- marktcom)

I am Mark 22, drive a Facelift X Plate 2.2 CD Omega, and love it. Just doing a boot install at the moment, pictures will be up soon.

Also any other facelift owners who share the problem of the boot button being disabled with the key in the ignion there is a solution, good friend of mine showed me what to do... I will prob add something to the maintance guide or something.

Watch out for pics of my beast with added ICE soon

I work as an IRS Engineer and have been doing so for the last 3 year, I know absolutely nothing about cars except for changing the water and oil.

I drive an omega 2.5 Elite for long distance trips and general grandad type driving, and have had a Mitsubishi Evolution VIII for 3 weeks (got it for the right price off a m8) to hang out at the usual boy racer type events.

Thats enough of me i'll let someone else take the stage.

Cause its the best name  

[x25xe]

Hi one and all!

My name is Andrew and I was known as X20XEV on the other site.  I am 31.

As posted elsewhere I have owned (and still own) a Cavalier CDX for the past 9 years along with an Omega 2.5 CDX for the past 7 months.

Single, with 50 children!!  Not mine, I am a Cub and Beaver Scout Leader which is where my time goes.

Always had an interest in cars - particularly the big Vauxhalls.  I still remember sending off for the Senator brochure and marvelling at the electronic dash.  Always wanted a senator but never quite made it.  I am also a fan of the old Rootes Models (Hillman, Humber, Singer, Talbot, Sunbeam etc).  Some of you may remember these cars?

In my "spare" time, I maintain 2 transit minibuses one for my Scout Group and the other for my Scout District.  I also own my own transit van which I also maintain myself.

Consider myself to be reasonably knowledgble about cars - certinally not as good as others on here though!

That will do for know - bad habit of writing too much and used to be told off at school for this!

[Martin_1962]

Hi one and all!

  I am also a fan of the old Rootes Models (Hillman, Humber, Singer, Talbot, Sunbeam etc).  Some of you may remember these cars?

Which Talbot or Sumbeam - the 60s or the 70s & 80s - I used to own the Sunbeam hatch and also like the Avenger - I want an estate as a restoration project
