Formal hello

[stonkn]

Good evening,
As my first Noble arrives tomorrow, I just wanted to say Hi. I am sure I will have lots of questions but have plans to do some changes as well.
I have bought a 3R from Kerridges, a company I know well from my TVR days. It appears to have had some upgrades & modifications but I am planing some new rear lights, upgraded front ones & various bits & pieces.

So, here we go !!
Marco

Congratulations, I hope you get as much benefit from the people on this forum as I have over a few years.

Hi Marco, Welcome to the mad house !! where abouts are you?

[stonkn]

I am in the mad house known as Essex in the week. I spend my weekends in Suffolk & cover the whole country & Europe with my clients.
Looking forward to picking the collective brains on a number of subjects!!

Congratulations. Is yours the Portofino they're advertising? Very nice.

Kerridges is where I got mine - very good to deal with. Oliver won't forget the mildly moist, slightly sideways test drive we did.

Hi Marco, I bought a 3R from Kerridges about 18 months ago, very happy with their after sales service. Welcome to the nobility you wont be disappointed! John.

Haven't made it to any of their meets yet but I know others on here who have. Join their mailing list and Ryan will send out details of upcoming gatherings and events.

SLIGHTLY sideways?

LOL!

Marco's is the titanium one that was remapped by Trevor Jasper, fantastic car!

[stonkn]

Yes... it appeals to be that one. It has a huge history going back to day one. I have had the wheels done matt satin black & odds & ends. Is the car known to the PH noble 'team'?

[searsy]

Welcome Marco!

Another Kerridges M12, mine came from there 18 months ago (Jaguar Green 3R), hope you had as many sleepless nights as I did prior to collection....welcome to the fold - don't forget there's a FB page too

[sjc]

If it's the 11k mile titanium one then congrats . It's by far the best 3R I've seen and driven.

Several essex boys on this forum and not a single fluffy dice between us !

Suggest when the weather gets a bit better we organise a blat somewhere, plenty of decent roads and pubs in the county, certainly going in to suffolk...

Mike

[stonkn]

Mike....sounds like a good idea...perhaps I can supply the fluffy dice? Many moons ago, I looked after the TVR mid Essex group & we would often have a convoy out into the country - great fun !!

[sjc]

When it was at the Hurdlemakers in the mid 90's? I went there with my Griff 500 and ended up in the Essex Chronicle !?

[stonkn]

yup...when it was at the hurdlemakers....I guess around 97 ish? We regularly got 30-40 cars in those days...
