« on: 21 May 2008, 19:36:54 »
Just wondered that is there a lot of them in your country?

If you are on about Omega-As, we call them Carltons over here in the UK.

We had GSi 3000, which was C30SE, and obviously the Lotus Carlton (same as Europe's Lotus Omega)...

In addition we had the (wonderful) Senator* 2.5 or 3 litre straight six :y

*a version of the Carlton when you called them all Omega's under the Opel badge.

Those straight sixers are off course builded afterwards.
Usually that engine is taken off from scrapped carlton and then fitted to
2.0 omega...
