Funnily enough, I emailed them a link to this thread on Monday night. I got a response yesterday but couldn't get on for some reason last night.

When I get home I'll copy and paste the email response here, it was quite informative.

The bones of it were that they haven't had any submissions from Omega owners. They would be only too pleased to do a feature if a suitable project was made known to them.

Maybe an invite to the forthcoming cambelt party would be something they'd be interested in? This may focus more on OOF than Omegas in general and could be a good boost for the forum.

OK, here's the email I received yesterday from Total Vauxhall Magazine. It was in response to my email to them pointing them to this thread.

Hello Martin,


Thanks for the feedback.


In terms of Omegas, as far as we are aware nobody really does anything with them in terms of performance. They're great cars, but people tend to leave them standard. We've yet to see anyone do something (this is just an example) along the lines of building a modified Volvo 850 R competitor, which would surely be far superior, considering the Omega is RWD.


We were keen to do a rolling road day with the Omega Owners but from what I remember people weren't particularly keen and nothing came of it.


We're always looking for new technical features so if there was a step by step guide for the Omega you think would be worthwhile doing then we'd be interested in looking in to it.


I personally liked the Irmscher Omegas but was unable to get them a full feature. Perhaps if I got some new pics I could try again? Nobody else has sent in an Omega since the yellow Pick-up in Jan 07.


Hope this is of some help, we want to ensure we cover as large a variety of cars as possible.


All the best
