During a 430 mile round trip from Lincolnshire to Powys I did not see another Omega.
I saw an 'E' registration Senator 3.0i, badged CD, along with and a 'P' registration Calibra.
But no Omega.
Hang on to them boys. They will soon be as rare as rocking horse shit. :y
PS....trip computer shows 30.4 MPG.

Well I've sent two to the scrapyard :'(

Loads of them around here. Mostly facelifts, but we're talking about cars that are getting to the end of their natural life
-
I wonder how many are 'cubed' each day?
Ten?

Lord Opti doesn't realise he hasn't been off his own estate yet. There's bloody loads round these parts.

Reading is a 'hotbed' of Omega's then?
I see more Bentley than I do Omega. :y

I get stuck behind quite a few here in sunny Yorkshire.

I reckon you have a point
Not many around at all now :(
When did you last seen a Carlton or Senator - Omegas will go the same way very soon

Last week. Although it was a Lotus Carlton. ;)

Thing is, how many good ones are there?
I'm assuming all the ones on here are in a good state of health but I've seen plenty on eBay and Autotrader that need plenty of work to get them to a reasonable standard.

Anaemic 'reduced cylinder' Omega, I presume.....and not the muscular V6. :)

Anaemic, ancient drivers don't help........

I'm a veritable 'whippersnapper' as far as Omega drivers go. I hear that the average age of an Omega driver is 126. :)
Several here at OOF are much older. :)

I saw my 1st miggy around here, in almost 18 months. And today saw 3 audi A8's, bit common i think ;D ;D
and they were all V10'sone lives near my work, along with a Q7 (ugly thing imho)

Agreed. Almost Insignia ugly in fact. ;)

Steady on Mr Opti... :o
The Insignia is rather svelte in its styling...
If you're registered blind ;D

I followed one today. From the rear it looks like a mongrel taking a shit. That's the kindest thing I can say about the Insignia's troubled looks.
Even STMO's Daewoo is less offensive to my Retina. :)

They do shift though. Tdi v10 option (is it?) on one I encountered the other day. Not so good in the corners though, so had to call it a draw :(

I'm forever seeing Omega's around here! :y :y :y
When I go for any length of drive around Ashford I usually see at least one. In fact I saw one the other day, one I have seen there before, in the Sainsbury's car park. In addition, there is a pre-facelift and a facelift parked outside houses within a mile of me. :D :D
So not too rare for me - yet! 8)
As a matter of interest my friendly Vx dealership desk man told me this morning his father in law has an immaculate (no-rear wing rot) 3.0 24V Senator that has only done 27K since new and it is one of the last batch of 30 built. Being a nosey Senny fan I will in due course find out a lot more, maybe making an offer he can't refuse! 8) 8) :D :D :D ;)

I live in your neck of the woods Mr Opti, and I'm always seeing Omegas. And yes, I realise that my own cars do not count! ;D

A wise investment if the car is as good as it sounds, Lizzie. :y :-* :-* :-*

27k seems to be quite a common mileage :D
