I am rekindling my love affair with Omegas tomorrow. I am getting another 3.2 Elite wagon. I am beginning to redesign my site as I am not happy ith it. The Police car has stood idle for nearly two years but it's going in for paint work in a couple of weeks and the project will be on the way. I am hoping to have it at Billing this year.

That's easy, it's open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and sells (among other things) 95 RON gas :D

Not so difficult after all this Arabic  ::)

OK, not strictly an Omega in the UK, but it is on the continent.

3K miles in 3 weeks, and not a heartbeat amiss at 16 years old.....

And 28 to the gallon.......

Had a little fun in the alps Feb 2005.
Winter tyres were a legal requirement and snow chains recomended, sadly we had neither.  
I recomend following the snow plough it will get you through.

Reeeeeal good fun and little scary and slow going. The back end did go a few times however it was easy to correct. We did have to turn back in the end while those with chains continued.  Will get some next time...
