Omega name
« on: 25 January 2011, 18:01:48 »
It just struck me, did Vauxhall name the Omega after the last letter of the Greek alphabet because the Omega was to be the last rear wheel drive Vauxhall to be produced, or is it just a spooky coincidence :-/

Yes BV, it looks as though you will have to solve the classic 'A to O' quandary!  You may need to speak to Albert Einstein...............well via a medium! :D :D :D ;)

Good idea BV :y

But in the meantime I have discovered that the Greek word Omega literally means "great O".  For me that solves it.  The Omega car is THE "great O" 8-) 8-) ;D ;D ;D ;)
