Track Day?

[PetrolTed]

Any of you chaps going to join us at Folembray?

[guysh]

Love to but as posted earlier don't know when my car's going to arrive it's at the UK factory at the mo awaiting engine and gearbox - If you lot are willing to push me around the track i will come!!! seriously are their still spaces? I will let you know as soon as I get my car - infact I think the whole bloody world will know!

[PetrolTed]

Yep, still spaces available. Good selection of cars going so far and some people with some more interesting machinery teetering on booking.

Would love to come as well but in the identical position to guysh, car in factory awaiting fitting out and completion. Alan inferring that it would be a bit risky to rely on it being available with enough time to run it in (It's not 1,000 miles from home to Folembray).

Is there a possibility to put a booking in against a refundable deposit if it doesn't arrive in time? Will be visiting the factory in a fortnight and expect to get a firmish date by then.

Would be good to have you along again Martvr.

If you think there's a possibility of making it then I'd suggest making a provisional booking on the Bookatrack site and wait until you know. There is of course the possibility that the day will sell out before you get to find out but at least with the BaT site you can see who's booked, how many places are left etc.

Thanks PTed, good idea, provisional booking made.

Martvr - what build number are you? (not order number) mines #73

[martvr]

Bugger, you've leapfrogged me, must have been quicker off the mark with your spec.
Order no. was 94, yours 95?
Build no. 77 - 4 behind now, guess that will be about a week.
Have you set a date to visit the factory yet?

[guysh]

I was order no. 98 i think (can't remember excatly) but I speced my car about two months after I ordered (May 2001) it so about June/July last year. I haven't arranged a factory visit yet, although trying too. As far as I can work out my car has been in this country since about the 10th of July. I actually wrote the report on the SA factory on this website last year. And I get the feeling various Noble related ppl are getting anoyed with me poking around - all i want is my car or a date when I can have it... Now i hear some ppl say - oh you've got to wait. Well i had a deposit on an M250 and waiting 2 yrs or so for that and lost money on it, whilst at the Brum show seeing the M250 for the second time I saw the noble and they said (and this is fairly close to what was said) '... you don't want an M250 - it doesn't even drive yet... have an M12 this car is made and ready to go..' so they were right in one respect but wrong about it being ready!

ho hum I'm sure I'll be singing their praises once I get it...
