Title: Corsa versus Omega forums
Post by: Varche on 09 November 2014, 21:08:48
As a recent "owner" of a Corsa I have immersed myself in a new world. Partly out of interest and partly out of need. The need arose after collecting car. Mrs V drove it the 50 miles back to its temp home near Stranraer in pouring rain (not the lightweight stuff we get in England). The roads have huge puddles and landslips. One huge puddle saw the front nearside wheelarch trim go AWOL. A common problem we have since found out and believe it or not there is even a guide on how to mod the fixings on a new one. ;D  As I am 1500 miles away in rain sodden Spain, Mrs V will be tackling her first job when the £15 part arrives.

Typical Corsa forum topics
I want an exhaust, something loud that fits straight on
Tints
lowering
LEDs
Flat wiper blades
Black is the fastest colour

Typical Omega forum topics
How much is land
LPG conversions
Price of fuel/insurance
Faded headlights
Irmscher
Black is the fastest colour

I might have missed some. ;D  It is all a very different world and one where the average forum member is probably 40 years younger. Plenty of helpful advice though.

What about physical crankshaft sensors that are bought physically from physical dealers that we can physically walk in and pay in physical money? ;D ;D ;D ;D True tho but still finding it funny :D

There tyres dont last very long due to the amount of burn outs they do.
