Fresh Meat!!!
17. Feb 2007 at 12:54

A fresh forum member makes his appearance in Meega world! Hi people, I'm Danny, not been driving too long, after gettin bored of my 1.0 corsa (first car, a bit chavvy) i wanted somethin completely different and completely out of my character and looked at newer model omegas on trader last december! I was shocked at the prices... how could you get so much car for so little cash!!!

I got some insurance quotes and thought it be best to start off with a 2.0 entry level to start with and maybe after 18 months or so invest in a 2.2 or even 2.5!

Tryin to stay away from anythin bigger, 2.6 upwards cos i simply just dont need it to be that powerful! I picked up my 2001x with 76,000 miles for less than £2,000, and even managed to sell my corsa for more than that and it didnt even have any electric luxuries!! My omega's dark green with the cream interior, i figured the grey looked a bit cold! i think i did pretty well to get one for less than £2k with a fresh cambelt done!!

Anyway, if anyone wants to look at my post in the parts section and offer some suggestions, would be great!

I hadnt even thought about it from that point of view but there's always something about "bog standard" that makes ya wanna upgrade! I edited a foto of my car just now, using a picture of some elite wheels i found online just to see if it makes much difference... and here's the result:

looks pretty good i reckon!, about 20 minutes ago i actually cleaned the car, so it aint that filthy now!
