cheers guys, i have got to wait two weeks now before i can drive it, i had to get day insurance to get the car home as my insurance company (swiftcover) for some reason wont let me make changes to my policy, i am guessing its because the policy finishes on the 8th of june......

got a quote for £554 which is a tad more than the calibra

51M0N · 23 May 2011, 22:25:54

And still got the Calibra too? You working now, Don't speak to many people now for obvious reasons, good choice though,

Any advice give me a tinkle.

mr carl · 24 May 2011, 05:23:19

Yeah I still have the calibra although not for much longer, I am trying to make the hard decision weather to brake sell or keep it.

And yeah I found a job a while ago, working as a cleaner down Asda lol

Lol,

Why break? still having issues?

mr carl · 24 May 2011, 14:03:58

No, no issues well not engine ones at least. The car is just getting to old, its 19 now and starting to show its age, needs two new front wings. Front bumper needs painting, has rust on the o/s rear arch and has a nice knock on the front end.

All stuff that can be fixed but its just starting to become a money pit

As much as it pained me, that's why i got rid of mine before it came to that.

sh!t aint it

simon, is there a way to view posts on this site like on .com? like the replies to posts and new topics....this site seems a little bit of a pain to use

51M0N · 24 May 2011, 14:31:21

I've not found a way to yet. I just check the sections.

mr carl · 24 May 2011, 14:32:20

ahh thats crap lol

o-meg-a · 24 May 2011, 18:03:38

...view the site differently...you mean old posts or just for browsing through?

Because searching for old posts in much more easily done using Google's advanced search facility.

http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?hl=en&authuser=0

type in www.omegaowners.com where it says search within domain at the bottom.

Then type what you are after in the search box.

Is one million times quicker than the OOF's built in serach function.

way to complicated for me dude

noel · 29 May 2011, 12:06:03

i just bought mine 3 weeks ago same model on a 02 plate,as you say put it in sport mode and it a whole different story.
must keep a bit of room in the boot for a clean supply of under crackers though.

mr carl · 29 May 2011, 12:16:43

Haha I knew if I put my boot into the throttle that it would be a bit thirsty, but by George I can use half a tank in five minutes.

That sports button is never getting pressed again LOL
