Photos like that sadden me. I know it's only metal but...

Cant remember exactly when I bought my first one. I believe it was  2007. I registered on the forum (the first time) shortly after, as it quickly became apparent that the car was riddled with problems.
With the help of the vast amount of info and knowledge on the forum I worked my way through all the problems and fixed every one of them. I then treated it to a grey leather interior - and sold it. 
Including breakers, I have had another eight of them since then. My current Rubens red 3.2 elite will definitely be the last though.
Theres nowhere to go, in an upward direction, in Omega world after this one.

As a test of my memory  , I think the list reads as follows -
Green p/fl 2.5 v6 - daily driver.
Silver f/l 2,5 v6 lpg - daily driver.
Black 3.2 elite - broken for parts
Blue f/l 2.5 v6 elite - broken for parts
Silver f/l 3.0 elite - broken for parts
Silver 2.6 CDX estate - bought as a project, fixed up and sold.
Silver 3.2 elite - broken for parts
Rubens red 3.2 elite - used more as a weekend car than daily driver.

That`s rather a lot 

But nowhere near as many as you.

I had my first Omega, a 2.5 GL in Champagne Gold, in August 1904, before the forum; it was a successor to a 2.0 Carlton Estate in Midnight Blue, but was a money pit!
The Omega also developed nasty haits, including an inability to retain its bodily fluids, so it gave way to my present Omega in April 2008, now a 2.6 CDXin stunning Star Silver!
It goes without sayi g that without the wonderful help from so many kind people on this forum it would have gone to that motorway in the sky.

Bought my 2003 3.2 Elite Estate in April 2007, still my daily driver, just got through another MOT (with a bit of work) but trying any failing at some point to find a replacement, there's just nothing to compare..

Yep, my first 3.0 Manual MV6 Estate, full retail spec, Sports Leather, Cruise etc, bought back in 2006, got the the car before I joined OOF, payed quiet a lot of money for it being a 6 year old car at the time, was parked up for a while, then flew through the MOT early this year, now has a V8 lump installed and a proud new OOF Owner.

My Dad had my CD from march 2001 if that counts ?

Good job nobody noticed my slight error in an earlier post - "I had my first Omega, a 2.5 GL in Champagne Gold, in August 1904"! I must have had a pre-production model?
Or did I really mean 2004?

Yea I did notice, didn't want to say anything or upset you Ron, because I know your clocking on a bit now.

I noticed as well but I'm too polite to mention it. 

[Bigron]

You really do get a better class of insult on this forum! Thanks gents.

My first was a 1995 2.0 GLS Estate that I bought in 1998.

Replaced it in 2004 with my current and only car, a 2002 2.6 CD Saloon, used daily.

This is interesting given the problems that Gixer had trying to sort the steering with his conversion. How was it done?

In 2006 I was running the first of the Senator B's I've had along with the XJ6.First Omega-a 1995 3L Elite-was bought in 2008 and sold in 2009 to make way for second Senator B which got written off 3yrs later to be replaced with my present year 2000 F/L 3L Elite as I couldn't find another Senator within budget.

Using a different approach... proof of the pudding will be in the eating
