A warning, petrol's one of my lowest running costs.
The slippery slope of upgrades and track days is rather annoying my bank manager.

It really doesn't, had mine nearly 5 years and it's still a sense of occasion every time I climb in, and a big grin when I climb out ! Especially after the winter lay off, came from Porsche, Lotus etc etc and this is without doubt the best car I've ever owned even my wife agrees !

Same here ,I had a 997 for just under 5 years but there is no doubt the Noble is even more of an occasion to go out in.
Went to check the tyres the other Sunday and it took about 45 minutes after everybody had a look at it.I was boxed in by 3 cars at one stage, and two old boys came over after filling up their cars, not experienced that before.

You are going to have to get used to having your photo taken from other cars as you drive along too - it's amazing the attention these things attract!

Literally never. Picked mine up today and giggled like a schoolchild all the way home. Granted I've not driven it since July last year but yeah it's ace.

I just spent the weekend in Wales.

The Welsh are a lot more vocal than people in Surrey.

People jumping up and shouting and pointing. Lots of big smiles and thumbs up.

If you don't mind this then it is OK. My wife thinks it is embarrassing though so she spends most of the time in the car reading a newspaper.
