Time to take the plunge...
« on: 29 August 2013, 19:10:03 »
Hi all, been lurking this place for a while and you lot have convinced me to try and get hold of an Omega.  :)
Seems like the perfect car for me at the moment, and I like the sound of a car that comes with a hobby attached.  ;D

So I hope to join the ranks soon, looking forward to it!

Ahaha, well... I'm actually in the process of moving to Newbury as I start a years work placement there, should be moving to a flat around Newbury Business Park.
Currently living out of a hotel near Reading while it gets sorted, which is fun.  ::)

I'll no doubt end up cursing myself for buying a V6 if I come to a fiddly job under the bonnet. At least I have small arms! ;)

Hi, Welcome to the OOF.  :y

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
