Well the only reason I just had two is that they stopped making them shortly after I bought my current one... otherwise I would have been on my fourth Omega by now. Seriously. The plan was to get a nearly-new one (6 months to one year old, they were going for around 10k under list in car supermarkets, great selection as well..) every two-three years, but only managed it once and then I got stuck.

Only two, but the first one lasted me for 8 1/2 years. Hope this one lasts as long!
Before that, I had two Senators. Can I count those? :)

Tech2 does make you lazy though - for instance, yesterday when Tunnie and I put the project car back together, the EML came on. Rather than retrace and double check all connections, a quick Tech2 showed it was 'Air Intake Valve 1 Low Voltage' which led us straight to rear multiram not being plugged in...

Yeah but it makes life simpler if you have the gadgets, just think of the time saved.

Before my first Omega, I had three Senators and five Carltons, (one of which I still have and it's slowly disolving in my back yard!!) all in three years.

Can I count them!
