Title: Greetings from Hungary
Post by: mong00sehun on 19 July 2024, 18:14:03
Hi Guys, my name is Arnold. I have a Saloon Facelift 2.6 V6 Manual Omega from 2002. I bought it around one and a half year ago, and its still awesome to ride.
We had a little trip to the Nurburgring and the Opel factory in Rüsselsheim was in the way, so we make a little tour around it.

It was great, the car was stable, no issue at all, it just needed a little oil in his belly ;D (~0,6l 2500km)

I read this forum around when i started the looking for the car, and now i try to be more active in the forum.

Yes, welcome! Great photo of your lovely Omega with the 'Opel' factory sign in the background :y
In the UK if you saw a white Omega in your mirrors, you immediately checked your speed - the majority of white Omegas here in the UK were Police cars!!

i checked my car papers when i bought, and in 2009 there is something that mention this: the car is no longer able to have emergency lights. so maybe it was an undercover police car maybe. in hungary there was many astras as police cars, maybe some police kingpin had this car xD

The Swiss police used Omegas, so not unreasonable to think that it might once have been a police car or similar. Especially in Europe as the car could have been originally delivered anywhere from Madeira to Finland.
