Just bought my first Omega
01. Mar 2008 at 18:13  
Hi all,

After a couple of low-spec Carltons and a much-missed Senator in the past I've finally got the car I've been trying to persuade the wife to let me have - a 3 litre Elite.

Glad to have stumbled upon this forum, seems like there's quite an Omega community.

Welcome to the Forum. I too have just moved on to an Omega after a long line of Carltons, and I love it!
