Spotted near Hatton Shell garage in Warwickshire not far from the A46 Warwick. A titanium or larch silver 3R on a 03 reg reading GTO at the end, anyone on the site? Looked the business!

Most probably mine as that's the way I go back and forth to work!

I think the black one I have seen around Solihul must have been yours. Here's a funny story - I was in the multi-story in town waiting to pay for my ticket and said to the person I was with - "you don't see many around, but there's another" - pointing to a very shiny black 3R. At which point the bloke in front of us turned round and said "there's another one over there too", to which I reliped "I know, that one's mine" - how smug was I? Can't believe I managed to keep a straight face.

Most probably was as I have been using it alot at the moment to pass the slow 1000 mile driving! Been around Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Coventry even London, Dover etc..

Next time I spot you I'll flash my lights, usually in a 97'MR2 in blue for work or the 3R. Cheers for replying.

A friend of mine has just spotted a red NOBLE not sure if it was a 3 or 3R. It was apparently driving in Kenilworth in Warwickshire anyone hear?

Funny - I was just saying to a collegue at work that when I went to Jaguar at Whitley they had a red 3R in their reception area - and he told me that he had spotted a red one driving around the area today too.

Spotted you again! We were along side each other over the A46 on the roundabout. I was in my blue MR2, tried to get your attention without being a pratt but it didn't work.

Your car looked great by the way (very clean and shiny). Its amazing how low they seem compared to other cars on the road, as you don't realise this as much when your driving it.

Would have been in mine today but I was travelling from my girlfriend's to work this morning so couldn't get to my car at home.

Tony - am sure that I saw you the other day - pulled alongside just on the roundabout - does your car have a personal reg?.

Still waiting to come across another Noble on the road - preferably going in the same direction! But I have only ever seen them going to other way (well I have only seen two actually!) or I spot them when I am in another car.

I must admit they do look great on the road - and the sound from outside is great - but you miss all that when you are driving!

Talking of seeing two Nobles (in the car park), I was giving my 911 an "airing" a couple of Sundays ago and whilst heading down the A59 was amazed to see a procession of a gaggle of Caterhams PLUS TWO Nobles - all barrelling along and enjoying the run - they were going in the Harrogate direction.

I've also seen a Noble in Burley-in-Wharfedale, the next village to our home town.

Happy Noble-ing, folks.........
