Really new newbie
16. Oct 2007 at 00:04

Hello everybody!
This is my first excursion into any sort of forum. Better late than never. Hope I can find my way around.
I've owned a 1998 Omega 2.0l Tourer estate for 3+ years, having progressed from a Carlton, and thought I ought to find out more about the enthusiasm which other people also have for them. Even at the age of 68 I try to keep it out of the hands of 'professionals' whenever possible and look forward to learning a lot from this club. (Hope that doesn't sound too cynical).
Cheers,
Bill.

Howdoo Bill, and welcome to what is undoubtedly the best place to get info (for free) for the Omega on the net.

Hopefully you have had a wee browse and found some good info already. Theres also a good 'chat' section where anything non Omega gets a good airing. Lots of sensible folks here who will no doubt welcome your wealth of experience on other matters....

Feel free to join in - no such thing as stupid questions, just stupid answers..... Thumbs Up!

Hope you enjoy your stay..

Cheers,
