General Discussion Area / Searching for where to say 'Hello'!
« on: 05 October 2008, 02:42:46 »
Call me thick but I've been struggling to find where to say hello in the newbies area.
Anyway thought I should register my interest in Omegas as I have had for the last 4 yrs an '03 2.2 Dti GLS estate (in Rubens Red) and it has been almost trouble-free to date; as far as I know it was the last Network Q ex-Vauxhall one in the country in this colour, had to go down to Hampshire to get it.
I am well pleased with it and have taken it from 9000 miles to the present 80,000. Only problem at the moment is that I realised driver's electric seat height adjustment has packed up so will have to sort that out in due course. Paint quality not as good as previous 13-yr old Honda Accord but I really like the comfort, space and 40mpg fuel economy.
I also have a 1974 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super saloon (RHD) as a fair weather-only hobby car (wonderfully original but regrettably in a few mechanical pieces at present due to previous owner's neglect.)
Forgot to say my name is Paul and I originally found out about OOF when I was following another Omega estate on the Lincoln bypass that had an OOF sticker on the rear window!
Somebody tell me how we should pronounce our car's name: I think we should say 'Omigga' but everyone I talk to calls them 'Omeegas'!
Bye for now - looking forward to any reactions to this message!
