Taken a deposit on V1GTO so after a Decade of Noble ownership I'm away.

I like the idea of a scooby based climbing frame but it looks to be getting on for 200Kg heavier than the Atom.
I like to test them back to back to see how they compare though.

Yup sold with the plate. Buyer has a very good deal (as did I thanks Jools)
M600 will have to wait...
Gadge is right I bought the GTR initially as a 5th car. Used it daily used noble less.. Felt guilty, sold Noble. felt as if my more enjoyable parts had been removed. Bought V1 within a couple of months.
Sold GTR. Too easy too quick licence (not to mention prison) heartening vehicle for anyone with a love of speed.

Maybe take a break until I REALLY want something.

Maybe a track toy.

Maybe a weekend toy (though I hear I am on my way back to an early winter).

Suggestions gratefully received.

PS I may be going utterly mad. Have just driven a diesel Octavia hire car 400 km and been very pleasantly surprised at how good it is.....HELP me please.

3.6 to 60 and 10 second quarters. Must be something wrong with the way it puts it's power down or perhaps with the dyno...
That said I nearly bought a similar caterham once one that had taken the 0-100-0record.
Still regret missing that one.

The weight difference is much lower than that tony, more like 70Kg? Atom list 612Kg, WR3 circa 700Kg, but depends on individual build spec of course.
