Nce to see an old 12v Omega still going, most people seem to prefer the 24v. Shame it doesn't have it's original alloys fitted, those wheels look like they are off a FWD car judging by the way they are tucked into the wheelarch. That must make the handling a little lively!! P.S. Your English seems perfect, better than a lot on here, & most of us ARE English!!! |

"The Lotus Carlton is not tail happy – honestly - as long as you accept it has 377 bhp and 419 lb/ft of torque, is rear drive and has no driver aids, it's fine."

Fortunately those rear quarter's are easy enough to swap out.
Still bad news though mate!

That's bad luck about your window, hope you get it fixed ok. I noticed in one of the photo's that your car has manual winding rear windows. I thought that GSi's had electric windows all round? Or maybe that was just for the UK! It is odd as both the LHD Omega A's i've been involved with (one was Dutch & one was German), they both had wind-up windows all round. The German one was a CD spec model as well!! Just our of interest, does yours have electric or wind-up front windows?? |

In theory it should be quicker than a UK spec though - less weight |
