Hi. Thought id come over and join as last month i was looking for a replacement for my old daily driver and after looking around at the usual stuff (vectras/mondeos/etc) i thought id be a bit different and look at the omega. On gumtree i found a 2002 (52) omega 3.2 elite auto saloon.......and yes,it was silver lol, being sold by an old boy in chelmsford. I went over the next morning,looked it over,took it for a test drive and had to have it. Since buying it ive done mostly commutes to work and a couple of jaunts to langley (nr slough) and colchester.

Gotta say im absolutely loving the car......especially when the traction control is off and sports mode is on. its a suprisingly fun drive for a slushbox....quick,quiet and sooooo comfy.absolutely eats the miles up.im planning a trip to south wales at the end of the month to see my mate and let her 'stretch her legs' a bit.

This is one of the few ventures ive had into vauxhall ownership as in the past ive mostly had fords but i have had a couple of mk2 cavs,a 79 manta,a '80 chevette and (well...g.m) a couple of trans ams.

Are there other omega owners around this neck of the woods? Do u do the shows,have meets,etc?
