Dear Fellow Omega Owners,
Let me say hi and introduce myself briefly. My name is Bertalan Molnar and I am from Hungary. I may be new to this forum (it's pretty shameful that I have just learnt that such a thing exists, at all) but I wouldn't consider myself new to (Opel) Omegas. Let me tell you guys why:
1) I have had 9 Opel Omegas so far. I still have one. (Or, in a broader sense, three, but I only consider one as virtually mine by now.) This last one is the one I have had as my primary car for the longest period ever: over 4 years now.
2) My first car was an Omega back in 1998. It was an Omega A (Carlton in the UK). So I've been driving Omegas for 13 years.
3) I published the first ever Opel Omega homepage in Hungary. And the second as well. And some others as well on the same topic.
Moreover, I founded two Opel Omega fan clubs. Unfortunately, due to personal problems with some members, I had no other choice but quit the first club and soon after that establish a new one, but the latter one dissappeared in a few years. :-/ Anyway, I had the privilege to organise at least half a dozen Opel Omega meetings in Hungary. (Also, around that time, I was a board member of the official Hungarian Opel Club, and I tried my best to help the Omega "mission" -- unfortunately, only with minor success. :-/)
What else is worth knowing about me? [smiley=rolleyes.gif] I'm married, got 3 young kids, and I work as an English teacher. Oh, and, of course, my kids love our Omega, which is called "Kate".
So, as the final word, I hope you guys are willing to receive a Central European Omega enthusiast like me.
P.S. Here's the list of the Omegas I've owned so far:
