Right well, for those who say that the horn is in a good position, I had a good look today, with hands in my normal driving position above the cross bar, the buttons are at least 4" away, hardly convenient. To put the buttons adjacent to thumbs, the hands have to be below the crossbar. Now come on chaps and chapesses, who can honestly say that is how they drive? 
When I'm driving enthusiastically, yup, pretty close 
Sorry to be pedantic Jaimie, but 'pretty close' doesn't cut it. Are you saying that when you drive 'enthusiastically' your hands are, normally, below the crossbar? On the crossbar is almost impossible, if you want to feel that you can cope with blowouts or other emergencies. I tried both on the bar and below today, and both felt most unnatural to me. Perhaps I have a different wheel. :-?
Its Jaime, or am I being pedantic

Anyway, when I go into 'enthusiastic' I tend to go to a 9/3 oclcok (thumbs just above spoke on Omega (and Rover as it happens)). I feel I have far more control, and then only need to adjust positions for tight (therefore slow) corners. Also, easier/quicker to apply emergency adjustments if the car loses stability.
I have a standard Omega wheel, and have in all my Omegas. Admittedly the one in the MV6 is very well worn

- which reminds me, must look for one in the For Sale section...
Yup, 'enjoyed' a blowout before when in full enthusiastic mode. Actually, more than once
