[dave the builder]

Just the one
53 plate 2.6 money-pit edition

though I did own 3 PFL carltons and 1 FL carlton (omega A )

[Alnico Blue]

10 for me Trev  . . .All V6's   . . .all  engines  . . .2 were MFL

Fave was the first  .  .'99   3.0 MFL Elite . . .  3.0  best engine in my book 

2.6's are gutless in mid range compared to the 3.2's   . . . .

Dave the Builder you need to try one 

[Varche]

Mini facelift 2.5 elite

Pre facelift 3.0 elite

[dave the builder]

2.6's are gutless in mid range compared to the 3.2's   . . . .

I'd still be driving my 2L 4 banger carlton if Morrisons sold replacement ankles & legs,
  I had to swap from proper 3 pedal soup stirrer to the devil's work gearbox
just had my first insurance renewal, so I will have been driving Omega B for 1 year on 18.05.19
but I'm still young ,plenty of time to own other models *

*if they are not rusted away by the time i kill my 2.6

[zirk]

Oh dear, I knew this question was going to pop up one day. 

[Doctor Gollum]

Oh dear, I knew this question was going to pop up one day. 

Perhaps a simpler question would be be 'of all the Omegas you own, how many can you remember where they are?' 

[Viral_Jim]

Just the one. A Desmond estate. 

[2boxerdogs]

2.6 CDX saloon a great car, never missed a beat in the 5 years I owned it.
2 2 CDX estate ok but terribly underpowered.

[Figureman52]

1995 2.0 Estate, owned from 1998 to 2004. Took me everywhere, including Ukraine 5 times without missing a beat.
2002 Saloon, Owned from 2004 and still my only car.

Thats actually more difficult to answer than the first question. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

First time I met you ( at Twiglets place) you counted up that you probably owned 13 at that point, but couldn't remember where three or four of them were located. 

I think Ive owned eight.

Four broken for parts all f/l 2.5 / 3.0/ 2x 3.2.
2.6 cdx estate project, fixed up and sold
2.5 V6 f/l  lpg

You have a good memory Albs, and yes, it was over a Pint with Twiglet in one of he's Locals, all of that info was about right at the time, think it was around 2011 (8 years ago  ), problem is I did buy some more after that and it all kinda went down hill shortly afterwards.

[BazaJT]

Second[still owned]a '00[fl]3L Elite saloon.

[Keith ABS]

 Just the one.
2000 F/L 2.5 TD Elite auto estate, still miss its comfort and ability
Owned for 7 1/2 years
Only sold as the Monza came home
No room for both

[aaronjb]

Two:

PFL 2.5TD Estate in burgundy, which was a bit of a nail (and returned awful mpg)
FL 3.2 Estate in green, which was extortionately expensive (Roger Buddens), suffered all the usual problems and eventually sold for about £400 two/three years after I paid £4000

I'd consider another if they weren't all knackered, rusty and on their last legs, as they really were a lovely comfy ride.

[terry paget]

Ten I think, but could be more, collected from as far afield as Hartlepool, Haverfordwest and Clacton.

I still have a 2003 3.2 police special, had it 13 years, now on its 8th clutch.

I hope to attend the Brackley gathering in my battered V reg. estate. sporting three items from previous cars.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Three.

White 3.2 plod estate.
Rare star silver 2.6 manual.
Rare star silver 2.6 MV6 auto.

The 1st was a 2.6 CDX saloon in silver in which the engine died. 2nd was a 2.5 elite saloon also silver which was written off by a Frenchman in a rental mokka. 3rd was a 2.2 manual GLS estate in nocturno blue which I sold to a banger racer unfortunately. 4th was a 3.2 elite estate in nocturno blue which was vandalised by druggies several times but now lives in Bristol. 5th was a 2.5 elite estate in a weird sort of reddish brown which was sold to someone who probably dismantled it or raced it. and the current one is familiar to several people on here too and which has been hit by an Asian in a Vectra who drove off and as also had one of the doors kicked in (druggies again). but is now ok again.
