Hi y'all.....
14. Sep 2007 at 12:48  
Hi everyone.....

Just bought my first Omega - enjoying frightening the life out of the boy racers on the motorway in Somerset, as I pull out behind them, headlights ablaze......  Wink

Planning on doing my own servicing (in as much as I can), and you guys seem to know what you're doing!! Looking forward to learning and contributing in equal measures....

Cheers,

ChocolateMonster

Yep - all good fun. My latest trick (which I have found works quite well at night), is to let thm pull up alongside you, let them clock that you are in an Omega (and so there is a small chance you are an unmarked car), and then let them blatt away from the lights.

It is at this point that you turn the RoadAngel that was on your dash, around so it is pointing forward, and then turn it on/off fairly rapidly....the combination of Omega and blue flashing light seems to make them want to slow rather quickly and dive for the inside lane.....not sure why....
