That looks very smart mate  :y

Is it a V6? A nice set of 18" shoes would set it off  ;)

cheers guys, i have got to wait two weeks now before i can drive it, i had to get day insurance to get the car home as my insurance company (swiftcover) for some reason wont let me make changes to my policy, i am guessing its because the policy finishes on the 8th of june......

got a quote for £554 which is a tad more than the calibra  >:(
Title: Re: just bought my first omega
Post by: 51M0N on 23 May 2011, 22:25:54
And still got the Calibra too? You working now, Don't speak to many people now for obvious reasons, good choice though,

Any advice give me a tinkle.
Title: Re: just bought my first omega
Post by: mr carl on 24 May 2011, 05:23:19
Yeah I still have the calibra although not for much longer, I am trying to make the hard decision weather to brake sell or keep it.

And yeah I found a job a while ago, working as a cleaner down Asda lol

Why break? still having issues?

No, no issues well not engine ones at least. The car is just getting to old, its 19 now and starting to show its age, needs two new front wings. Front bumper needs painting, has rust on the o/s rear arch and has a nice knock on the front end.

All stuff that can be fixed but its just starting to become a money pit :(

simon, is there a way to view posts on this site like on .com? like the replies to posts and new topics....this site seems a little bit of a pain to use  ;D
Title: Re: just bought my first omega
Post by: 51M0N on 24 May 2011, 14:31:21
I've not found a way to yet. I just check the sections.

ahh thats crap lol

...view the site differently...you mean old posts or just for browsing through?

Because searching for old posts in much more easily done using Google's advanced search facility.

http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?hl=en&authuser=0

type in www.omegaowners.com where it says search within domain at the bottom.

Then type what you are after in the search box.

Is one million times quicker than the OOF's built in serach function.

Haha I knew if I put my boot into the throttle that it would be a bit thirsty, but by George I can use half a tank in five minutes.

That sports button is never getting pressed again LOL
