Title: Morning!!
Post by: Evil Penguin on 02 June 2009, 09:39:22

Just thought I'd pop in and say hi  :)

I'm Graham, currently driving a 200SX S13, but it's getting a little old now and I just can't afford to keep ploughing money into it.  I'd keep it as a weekend toy, but can only afford to run one car :(

I also need something a little more practical, so been looking at a few cars but finally decided on a pre-facelift (98/99) Omega 2.5 V6 CDX or Elite.  There seems to be quite a few about (albeit mainly in the South) and most seem to be auto's.  There are quite a few nice country / coast roads here in the North East, and the twisty's are great fun in a manual, so I'm a little concerned about how the Auto 'box will feel compared to a manual.  If anyone has any advice or experience I'd be most grateful :D

Thanks and I hope to be the proud owner of an Omega very shortly  ;D

Trying to trawl through the mass of posts in the various sections, but people keep wanting me to fix their computers  >:(

Still, since I'm at work I suppose I should...  ;D

Ola, welcome to the forum.

I love automatic gearboxes despite having experienced problems with them on my mini facelift 2.5. The 3.0 has a stronger box fitted.

Hello and welcome. Drive manual (cdx) and auto (CD). Like both but if only had one would go for manual. Others may disagree ;)
