My family's first Omega from 1999
« on: 08 December 2013, 19:45:44 »
This is a photo of my dads Omega from 1999 I think.
It's a 2.0l auto and I loved it. Since then we've never had another (bearing in mind I was probably about 6-7 years old at the time. However, my good friend Webby-The-Bear took me for a drive to Morrisons not too long ago in his 2.5 auto saloon and it re-ignited the love I always ha for them. Anyone else had this experience of a first love for a car or a re-ignited love?

Had the same wheels on my 94 CD, I also had that much positive camber it was visible in old photographs.........

SimplePingu: Did you find that the tyres wore the inside edges by any chance?
