Title: Average omega owners age?
Post by: Squidy on 05 July 2010, 20:17:49
theres a couple of omegas around my area, and i have noticed that the owners of these and others i've seen tend to be of the older WISER age group  :P

as im 26 i was just curious if there are any member's of a similar age out there?

I'm 26... was 21 when i got it. There was the initial barrage of 'you bought an old mans car' then 'a family saloon' then 'a coppers car'

But when i had to take said people who commented above on a fairly long run on motorways and some high-speed twisities, the comments stopped  :)

How many Omegas were sold in the UK, and how many do folks reckon are still running?
Title: Re: Average omega owners age?
Post by: Sixstring on 06 July 2010, 10:26:11
50 this year, had several Miggy's, and still lovin' them although they do seem to cost a lot more to keep running than most of my other cars!!

But on the flip side, definately the most comfortable car out of the ones I've currently got, and probably the smoothest too.

How can the young drivers afford the insurance on their omegas ?
Title: Re: Average omega owners age?
Post by: FoxyV6 on 06 July 2010, 22:52:42
every Omega driver ive ever seen has had grey hair and been in their 60's at least. never see youngies driving them round here. I did find it amusing in the petrol station the other day when a young lad in his 20's kept staring over, till i realised he probably thought i had money and could keep him and his battered corsa on the road for a few years lol ;D

Same price (ish) as the Cavalier, and I'm 28, full no claims.

Omega - 3.0 Elite
Cavalier - 2.0 8v Diplomat
