Hello everyone!
I stopped following the forum, because 3 months ago my wife and I bought another car (pocket rocket 2006 FIAT Palio 1.8R). Its restoration, after years of neglect by the former owners, is taking up a lot of my time and money. However, I didn't forget my Omega. After searching the internet without success, with the help of a friend who owns a garage near my house, we designed a heat shield for the K&N air filter, so the HX35 turbine only sucks in cold air.

Inspiring photos for me. My wish is to move soon to a house with lots of space and buy the other versions of Omega that I don't have: Estate and saloons B and C. The garage will be beautiful, but my wife won't like it.

The new one is MUCH more capable over the rough stuff.....but then Lincolnshire is hardly a challenging terrain
Clearly I have driven both the old series, defender and new defender a lot.........a hell of a lot........and over various terrain (including on rails).
I'm a fan of the Defender 110's versatility.

Unfortunately we still have one of the largest tax burdens in the world. Belo Horizonte is fine, except for the chaotic traffic, which makes me dream of moving to a much smaller city. As for Cruzeiro we are in Serie B, with little chance of returning to Serie A in the year of its centenary (2021). The biggest culprits for the demotion of the club, the former president and his corrupt directors, after a complex investigation, were recently denounced by the Public Ministry for a series of crimes, such as money laundering and conspiracy. Now, we have to endure the mockery of the city's rival fans: Atletico and America.

I did not remember the exact number of models manufactured here and imported, I researched and found accurate data from Omegas here.
Omegas A: 81,061 sedans and 12,221 Station wagons (Supremas) sold and the australian Omegas B and C (Holden VE): 58,458 sedans sold, totaling 151,740.
Sorry for the wrong numbers above.

We have, manufactured by GM, Omegas A sedans and station wagons (1992 - 98) and models imported from Australia B and C (1998-2012) generations. Since its launch, the Omega CD has always been the luxury model of Chevrolet, so it has always been expensive, selling approximately 100,000 units (92,000 sedans and 8,000 station wagons) of generation A. The great Holden cars, because they are imported, were even more expensive, with much lower sales (1000 - 2000 units / year), competing with luxury models from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Honda, Toyota, Ford, etc. GM does not currently manufacture luxury sedans in Brazil and has not provided an Omega replacement.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately, here too, Omegas are becoming rare on the streets and roads.
