Not that the Omega’s an auto – it’s fitted with a Dodge Viper six-speeder. All of which begs the question: why? ‘Well, I came by a 1993 4-litre Lexus V8 engine and was left wondering what to do with it,’ explains Ole. ‘I spent ages thinking about it before deciding to slot it into an old Omega. Not many people realise the Omega has a very low drag co-efficient [0.28Cd], making it ideal for big speeds while remaining comfortable. And for me it isn’t a car if you have to trailer it, so I’ve driven it here and I’ll drive it home again.’
