I don't know but I have the worst! :o

Only crumb of comfort is that I have the second longest (nearly 12 years) continous tenure of an Omega of anyone on the forum (I believe) after that man Jim who cornered the market. ;D ;D

There are a lot of nice ones to chose from, it would be unfair to select just one as a 'best'


For me, personally, it would be my beloved MV6. Its rusty, tatty, tappets bang like a bitch, pisses oil out from somewhere, passenger seat heater is knackered....

...but its been a fantastic little chariot for the past 7.5yrs, 90k, taking me in comfort and style to the south of France (and sometimes even back again!) on multiple occasions. Its been superbly reliable (except its little French episode), fast and fun...

...and it was my first Omega. It was the one that got me in to Omegas. It was the one responsible for me getting involved here (not sure I've forgiven it for that!). It was the one that has made me some very good Omega friends...

...and of all the other Omegas I have owned, and had the honour of driving (which is a fair few), I'm always glad to get back in the Silver Bullet. It always feels "like home".

Other than mine, which is only best because it's mine and owes me nothing ::), there are 3 that spring to mind.

Bob Dent's, Mike Dundee's and Jim's (collection ::))

Although Gixer's latest one has some real potential, even if it's in a colour combo I don't particularly like.

That said, Entwood's is pretty sweet too :-/ Apart from the gay colour :D

I agree with TB, mines a similar age and state to his and I love it to bits.  It just fits!
We've done 30000 miles together and she's never let me down (touches wood quickly)

That said, I've always had an eye on Bobs Car! ;)

I know exactly what you are saying :y

I'm sure I wouldn't get on with yours, and you wouldn't get on with mine (forgetting the saloon/estate needs), there is just something that makes it work for us :)

Bobs car is gorgeous, i should know i washed & handwaxed it & the Telford meet. Think he's changed the wheels now?
   Mike Dundee has spent a small fortune on suspension/bodywork & the car is a credit to him. I've seen a few cars at meets that show how much thier oofers love them & i'll never tire of seeing them.

  That said beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I bought the Beastie from Hotel21. She was a good car then & i've spent a small fortune making her my own in the last 2 & 1/2 years & still enjoy just looking at her let alone driving her.

  It'll be a sad day when she has to make way for the Monaro but that's some time off yet. 8-)

I really appreciate all the nice comments. :y I must admit I fell in love with it when Big Rod had it a few years ago and had to badger him to give me first option on it when he was ready to sell. It does look a little different since I changed the Azev alloys for original MV6 alloys but had to be done.
However, there are plenty of top looking Omega's on here including Mike Dundee's, Nigel's (Entwood), Jim's and Serek's among too many others to name. :y

I have to say that I'm not particularly susceptible to 'fancying cars but must add that when I saw this one I immediately did - there's just something about it that's more than its constituent parts. :-* :-*

Any chance of a couple of pictures to refresh our minds Mr Dent?

I need to take some more recent pics and upload them to photobucket first Z as I haven't taken any since I changed the wheels. I'll try and get some done soon. :y
