I wouldnt have thought any Omega was ""exciting""....a sports car would be exciting...a High performance bike would be exciting....jumping out of a plane would be exciting.....driving an Omega not exciting. ;D

Saying that i love my 2.5 Estate...well apart from the fact its a flaming manual.

I had a few Miggy Estates now, I use the Black 2.5td CD Estate for work, and my current baby 3.0 MV6 FL Estate (Manual) for running arround in, I dont find that boring!, in fact most people that get in are quite impressed with MV6.

Ive got a few mates that drive Porsche and Audi RS4 to name a few and go on and on about them, so if I get really bored then I take them out in my Sapphire Cosworth (310 Bhp RWD) that normally shuts them up.  :y

i accept your comments, tho disagree with the sportscar jumping out of a plane bit. i dont expect driving an omega estate to be exciting just a bit more....less boring.as i said i love the car dont much like the colour and leather would be nice but hey it is what it is.i only bought it cos it was cheap and i liked the look of it. i even thought about spraying it or lowering it and fitting big wheels but went off that idea tho it has got twin cherries on the rear which makes it sound nice, not loud just a nice burble and anyway its got factory 16's on it already and as for swapping it if i did it would be for a v6 mig saloon nothing else but i dont know if thats the way to go anyway.maybe i'll go on a bit of a road trip might get to like more it than
