So methinks you might be a bit wide of the mark GTO!!

I have had some banter with you lads on here about the pros and cons of the M12. Rightly so most of you have responded by defending the marque even though a lot of my comments re interior spec and price are upheld by the likes of Autocar and Evo testers.

Unknowingly I joked about Joust’s sexuality which upset him and I feel I must apologise even though he responded with quotes like this…

[qoute=joust]Now - in English a comma is used as a list delimiter. One item cannot be mutually exclusive to the other, or at least it was like that when I was taught English (but then we all know that education nowdays is much worse than it was in my days, so you probably didn't get a good english education - were you left in a room with Lego bricks with a trendy teacher going on about "self speed learning"

Regardless of however fit someone is, if they can't hold an intelligent conversation it tends to limit the time you want to spend with them, and even worse, half of them don't know what to do in bed anyway....

Footballers, esp. the ones that try to make a living out of it it seems tend to fit into the latter bracket in my humble experience[/quote]

I have responded twice but one has been withdrawn for being childish regarding Joust’s sexuality and had another warning for “stirring”. Yet the above comments are fine by Ted, as an ex footballer is Joust not questioning my sexuality?

I realize most of you on this forum support Joust totally but I think if he will rebuff nearly any post that is anti Noble and can be quite scathing in his posts (over 4,000!) he then has to take as well as receive, if he can be condescending then he should accept some “stick”

Ted does not seem to like jibes at Joust but I am entitled to my opinions and feel that it’s unfair to be rebuked for questioning how many cars he has owned and why after his post that 2 are German.

I understand why my post with Joust’s party pictures was withdrawn, even though they are freely available and indeed advertised so to speak through his profile on Pistonheads.

So no more jibes at Joust or I will be subbed!

As for the M14 I think it looks brill but is way overpriced, and the GTC has missed the mark with the single turbo, less power and a hideous looking roof set up. Why make a soft top car in this country where you take the roof off but can’t take it with you?? It might as well have been a Targa. Proof will be when customers swap their deposits to another model.

Comments about footballers may have been unnecessary but they just a crap joke aimed at a group of people and so I let it go as I didn't think anyone would take them too seriously.

I won't put up with personal attacks on people. Had you been singled out for treatment then you'd have seen me step in.

Now, can't we just move on? Geez...

Please stop making your problems everyone elses. You have a problem with Joust, fine. Most of us don't, and don't want to know.

You like your T350. I think it's a stunning looking car, but prefer the Noble driving experience (i've had Tivs in the past).

I also like football and am a season ticket holder at my local club. I won't reveal what it is as i don't want to get flak

Live and let live and all that ?

Actually, I would tend to agree with Barefoot: a 3R with a targa-type roof section (or even tinted glass panels?) - one or two removable panels for stowing behind the seats would have done nicely for the british weather and would have kept the nice Dino-esque rear butresses - I'll be viewing the beastie next week so am, as yet, undecided.

I like the Convertible Noble it reminds me a lot of the Carrera GT in its look , but the roof "mechanism" seems to leave a lot to be desired .

M14 just looks like its made out of fibreglass if you know what i mean , compared to what TVR do with the stuff ,, not a fan

Whatever mate. As long as you feel better for getting it off your chest.

As long as you get a good nights sleep. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Bloody hell....Ted, how about a virtual confession booth? I'm sure someone could find you a PH wimple or something.

Father Ted anyone?

Think we should just leave that at that and move on.

Most of you don't cos you do not disagree with him or some daren't in case he shoots them down with his knowledge of cars, English grammar or whatever.

I ranted on because I felt I had been censored/rebuked unfairly. I believe in freedom of speech and opinion and am used to being criticised as are most footballers it comes with the territory but as I keep reiterating if you give it you got to take it.

I have been on here nearly 4 yrs and have seen some very personal insults with no intervention from Ted and I don't know if he knows Joust personally but he seems to be very protective and quick to jump to his defense.

Anyway as he has said let’s move on and forget it....

As soon as I get my "special" Sagaris I will be back on here taunting you Noble owners....well most of you anyway!!
