Title: Finally here
Post by: Omegafantasy on 21 November 2009, 03:38:06

Hello everyone  :)

Since I finally registered, it might be a good idea to say hello to the great people in here! I won't write anything long and confusing here now, too tired to actually see my screen here  :-?

As you can see in my profile info, I'm from Norway. I live right outside Oslo and driving my Opel (!) to work every day.. Well, almost that is.

I've been into these magnificent German cars for a while now, close to ten years. To sum up what I've had (if anyone want to know):
- 1987 Omega 2.0 GL
- 1991 Omega 3000-24v
- 1986 Ascona 1.6L
- 1992 Astra 1.4
- 1990 Vectra 2000 16v 4x4
- 1995 Omega 2.5 V6 Estate

As you know, I'm sitting at the right side of the car (even if it's left  :P), so the model names are of course different from the English. Nevertheless, we enjoy the same rides (most of all the Omega's) and they all have their own personality. Right now I'm having a dispute with my 95 Omega V6 which needs a new engine..

Anyway, I said I was going to make this short, so let's go on:
I have several hobbies apart from the cars, like: electronics, darts, HAM-radio (PM me for a sked), music production, DJ'ing, scene- light and sound systems, photography and probably some more. And yes, I am a pretty social guy too in all of this  8-) My girlfriend (NOT my car) probably won't agree to that..
Oh, yeah, my job too. I work as a mobile phone technician (pretty much the opposite in tool size when you're used to fix cars).

There's probably a whole lot I've left out now, but I won't make your eyes sore - just yet  :P

If you have any questions, just drop me a line :)

Cheers

Thanks for the nice and warm welcome folks :) You won't see that alot on the Norwegian forums..

Just a note: I see people here charge £200 for a complete cambelt job including parts. That's just insane. Wish I lived in the UK. Here we pay about £320 for just the kit alone and about the same for a mechanic to do it. There's just a couple of people I know of who have any experience at all with these engines. Everyone loves four-bangers here :(
