New 2 Nobel

[l6nex]

How's it going folks,

Thought I'd say hello, went into my local TVR garage up here in Edinburgh with my tuscan and spotted a nice Noble M12 GTO, after a quick test drive I have decided to take the Car, Can't believe the difference compared to my Tiv and looking forward to picking it up on Friday!!!!

In the garage at home and suffering withdrawal symptoms.

Welcome "l6nex".

You will love it !

I've had mine a week and can't wait to get home and take it out for a spin.

Another TVR owner falling into the trap ! Tell me what was the big selling point for you ?

Welcome aboard the good ship 'Noble', Dave.

They really should put a government warning on Noble test drives. "This test drive will seriously dent your wallet!"

Some of us smug bastewards have a Noble and a TVR but I must say that if one of them did have to go...

Took the M12 on a TVR club convoy on Sunday; priceless moment when the Cerbera 4.2 in front (who knows the roads) waved "goodbye" out of the window and floored it... must be having a laugh!!!

Scary moment of the day was pulling out of a petrol station and "forgetting" that I hadn't changed up to second before planting it... I don't know if you've tried flooring a Noble in first but it all gets a bit psychedelic! Her in the passenger seat actually stopped breathing, hence talking... which was nice.

No, but earlier in my garage I leaned into the car to start her up but forgot she was in gear - good job I have protective foam trips along the wall!! The end wall will be rebuilt soon :-)

Hi Dave,

Welcome to the Scottish clan gatherings. I live up in Aberdeen and was just down at MV Turbo's today getting the first 1000 mile service. Met Steve from Bathgate ( Blue 3R) there also. He took a drive down to meet up at the garage.

Hi - and welcome to rapidly growing Scottish Noble group. If I get mine back after destroying brakes on a great day out at Oulton (!), I'll be at Knockhill Saturday morning.

Well Thankyou for the welcome folks!!

Lucozade my main reason for leaving the TVR fold is lack of help from the factory and just the poor build quality, all the same the Tuscan is a great car, but the Noble is just that bit better!!
