Title: Omegas popular over the world
Post by: Ken T on 30 November 2006, 22:11:43
I was looking for some info on wiring, and came across this site 'www.bestiales.pl'. It seeems that the Omega is highly thought of over in Poland, something of a 'Beast'!. Just think they probably have as much fun with crank sensors as us!. Any one fancy a 'Poland or Bust' trip next year?. We would have to find someone who speaks Polish and get updated maps for the GPS. Mind you I bet the beer out there is cheap ;D How about an Omega Owners Forum site like that ? It looks pretty smart. ;)

Polish beer not too dear over here either!  Can get Tyskie, Lech and Zwiec at the corner shop for £3.75 mix 'n match 4 large tins.

It is cool over there, but Krakov is as much of a stag do party town as Prague.

I'm sure we could hire a Polish guide for a few quid.  He'll work long hours, never complain, never take a rest & sleep in his car - so no overheads.  ::)

So why don't we drive over and bring them all back!. Nice one Chopsdad, looks very smart, trouble with reworking a 2.2CD like that is it would look great but  would go not quite fast enough. I would need an engine transplant. How about fitting a mazda Wankel engine?.
