Well, you may not care as it isnt a nova, but i just bought me an Omega MV6 (3.0 V6 207bhp) with a manual g/box :D

Ex plod, so it hasn't got leather or climate control (does have air con), but i got it for ?621 (which for a 7 year old car that cost around 30K when new i dont think is bad :!: ). Went to see it on wednesday and was happy with it-needs a new handbrake cable and tax, but otherwise i'm chuffed :D

Here's the egay link (i'll put pics up once i've collected it);

Aye the fuel thing does worry me lol, but i'm only getting 22MPG around town from my 2.0 manual-so i thought i may get similar to that in the 3.0 as it doesnt have to work as hard to move the barge?!? I'll soon see (and regret) i suppose :lol:

Well i guess that's a sacrifice i'll have to make, but i'm sure the 207bhp rear wheel drive bit will put a grin on my face and take away the pain lol

The M5 will never have felt so fun :twisted:

You gonna sail the barge up to MK for the meet?

207bhp won't seem a lot in that barge

Erm, when is it? And i'm not sure i'll be able to afford the petrol :lol:

Stop putting down my new beast :cry: :lol:

It would obviously feel disgustingly fast in a nova, but my barge is INFINATELY more comfortable!!

Razorbling, you going to the MK meet? What mileage are we talking from fo shizzle Brizzle??

Jack

Not sure; i will have a butchers on Multimap in a bit. I seem to remember it being something like 167 miles from me, and consider im about 50 miles south of bristol so its not tooooo bad for you.

I think its on the 2nd nov... date is in the sticky thread in general from Jim though.

Hmm, just had a look on one car data site and they reckon the MV6 is slower than the 2.5 :?

Hmm, not sure-my 21st b'day is on the 3rd Nov so i'm not sure how it'd work out :idea:

My would a 168bhp Omega be quicker than a 207bhp Omega?! :lol:

I thought MK was North'ish of London??! Or am i being a spaz :P

i bet its more than 207bhp as nearly all plod omega's were chipped. the bloke next door to me has one and it flies. very nice car you have there tho

dunova

Cheers um'bungo :P

Interesting what you say about the chip thing-i always thought it was just a myth though :?

Maybe i should get it on the rollers and see what it makes-although they're usually quite in-accurate anyway.

I know it wont be a rocket ship, but it'll move if i want it to and the sound of the V6......................*Drool*

the meet is the 19th of nov lol.

207 bhp was "ok" but not really enough for a car that weighs 1.6Tons.

i was getting 26mpg average on the commute to work... which is jsut uber crap lol

ive heard taht police cars were chipped, but at the same time ive heard from the techs that they werent, just uprated brake pads and the electric gizmos.


one thing that was really odd about a ?30K+ "luxury" cruiser was NO cup holders!!! WTF

Jack

lol TechnoKlaxon is official Forum Spazz :lol:

Ah yeah 19th nov, its a CCUK one im thinking of thats the 2nd lol... I thought MK was a bit more up midlands.... This side of the M1? Ahhhh i shall go consult multimap when i have finished breaking a pc....

MV6 has funky headlights as std doesn\'t it? Would mind one myself tbh 8)

Ahh, the 19th i may be able to acheive then. 26mpg is still better than my 22mpg :lol: Although, i do a lot of bristol schity rush hour driving.

It would be tres cool if it is chipped :D The mv6 has xenon's, like the elites razorplunge lol

No cup holder's the least of my worries-the plod one's didnt come with heated seats :o :cry: :lol:

Think i'll have to invest in some leather, mmm

Stuart

heated seats are plain WRONG!!!! i never used mine.

my elite didnt have the xeonons either lol it was an earlyish one.

Jack

Heated seats are the way forward! I love a hot arse on a cold winters morning :o :lol:

Cant believe the plod mv6's dont even have colour coded wind mirrors!! Think that'll have to be sorted when my irmscher grill is fitted 8)

lol - Exactly what I was just going to post. I was in a 6 series BMW with heated seats (I didn't know). Felt the warmth around my groin

Me: Have you got heated seats?
Driver: Yeah
Me: Good because I thought i'd just pissed myself

It really did have me worried for a second! :roll:
Not that I can't control my bladder or anything :oops:

OMG - Omega - when's the launch?

he he - only jokin - I remember the omega always being known as a boat.

and as for heated deats - the sensation of wetting yourself after several beers comes to mind.

Not that I ever have of course...

:roll: :oops: :lol:
