Apparently I’ve had a few …….. Can I still drive home tonight? :D
I'd still class myself as a virtual beginner though! |

Well the only reason I just had two is that they stopped making them shortly after I bought my current one... otherwise I would have been on my fourth Omega by now. Seriously. The plan was to get a nearly-new one (6 months to one year old, they were going for around 10k under list in car supermarkets, great selection as well..) every two-three years, but only managed it once and then I got stuck.

MV6, the Staples2Naples banger and while it's tecnically my wife's Elite, I bought it. |

Only two, but the first one lasted me for 8 1/2 years. Hope this one lasts as long!
Before that, I had two Senators. Can I count those? :) |

Tech2 does make you lazy though - for instance, yesterday when Tunnie and I put the project car back together, the EML came on. Rather than retrace and double check all connections, a quick Tech2 showed it was 'Air Intake Valve 1 Low Voltage' which led us straight to rear multiram not being plugged in...

Yeah but it makes life simpler if you have the gadgets, just think of the time saved. |

Before my first Omega, I had three Senators and five Carltons, (one of which I still have and it's slowly disolving in my back yard!!) all in three years. Can I count them! |
