Went to London twice this week - saw none
Great mway cruiser 
I do a lot of trips up to Leeds / York. Before getting the Omega, no matter what I was driving, I'd always feel the need to break the journey somewhere. Now, unless a pee stop is required, I just dont feel the need to stop. Only problem is keeping the speed down..... 8-)
If you want to do Brackley to outh of France, eg Montpellier, in a day, just under 900m, you need a comfy cruiser, as (apart from Channel crossing (breakfast)) the breaks will be 1 for food around Dijon area, and emergency slash stops...
When we used to do that trip, we'd go in convoy with friends, using walkie talkies to keep in contact.
One year, we 'only' went as far at Montelimar, there were 3 cars, Mrs TB and I in the MV6, my mate, his missus, his girl, and a 'borrowed' girl (his wife's niece) in a Vectra-C, and my mates brother, his missus, and a toddler in a 1.4 Meriva. Whilst we didn't cane it (didn't much creep over the 130kph limit), we knew the Meriva was always going to struggle a bit with the trip. What became apparent to Mrs TB and I, just via the walkie talkies, is how tired the other people were getting, and they were all quite ratty upon our arrival, barking at each other, Mrs TB and I were chilled, and not even phased when the site managers (was one of those continental 'Yello Villages!' type mobile home parks) said they didn't know about Mrs TB and I, and wasn't sure if they could accomodate us
.
It is, simply, the Omega is a fantastic mile cruncher, so relaxing, and always feel refreshed/alert, even at the end of a 14hr stint (Mrs TB and I do driver-swap, as we don't have time for breaks, so one gets in 2 or 3 hrs kip, then we swap again).
All that said, I think continental roads help, as drivers seem to know how to drive - even in Italy, mad fekkers - rather than the ignorant, self-centred, arogant tossers on UK roads.
