Title: Only 18 but got first Omega
Post by: joshwyatt on 31 May 2008, 15:12:04
Hello All,
Just bought my first car....and you're right it's an Omega. It's a 2002 '02' CDX 2.2 with only 28,000 miles on the clock in Nocturno blue. It's an absolute joy to drive, and it's a far cry from all the other cars my friends have as their first cars. Although insurance is expensive it's worth every penny to get an Omega.

Hello Josh. My first car at 18 was a 2.0 Granada. Everyone took the p155 for me driving a 'Grandads car' but guess who's motor everyone wanted to be in whenever we had a convoy down to Swansea or wherever!

The insurance gets cheaper mate don't worry  :y
