Spotted M12 coming from Goodwood Breakfast Club meet yesterday - coming down the hill in the forest section past Fernhurst - I was the Titanium wingless coming up the hill being chased by a Red 360 spider!

Because a lot of people see you when you are on the hard shoulder with steam pouring out the bonnet

Surely you mean Clam, or has it been so long since you had a Noble.

Clearly you are going senile, the radiator expansion container is in the engine bay, and hence any steam would come out of the rear clam

I enjoyed driving my TVR with all the Nobles in Le Mans, although one never made it out of the garage and we had to keep stopping to top one up with oil every couple of miles, and I believe that the turbo problem on another one is becoming a bit of a problem......... Still, can't have everything (including some basic storage space.....)

Seem to remember Justin having probs with his at the weekend, not all cars are reliable - although let me know when Noble have made as many vehicles as TVR and we can make a more even comparison to how many are spotted on the back of a low loader

Hughesie, interesting, the number of Tivs versus Noble's on the backs of transporters won't tell us which is more reliable though- you'd need the production numbers per model too and then it gets sticky 'cause a higher % of Noble's are tracked than Tivs so that would need factoring in - anyway I get your point!

Did I tell you that my turbo has fixed itself, ever since I got back it's not smoked since

Now, if I could just stop the fuel pump sounding like it's got a wasp nest stuck in it.....

Ah, you too?

I think it is a small price to pay for TVR beating performance.

Someone told me to put a little oil in the petrol to lubricate it, me thinks this will not work as it will just wash through.

Suggestions please folkes!

As for me filling up with oil, well, my fault. We put too much in! Caused by a fix that Roush did. In a nutshell, the oil now stays in the catcher longer, needs at least thirty minutes to flow back to the sump.

After our thrash at Arnarge, left the car for 40 mins, checked the oil, perfect, apart from aboutr 1.5 litres too much.

No blown oil seals so everything is ok

Well it works for premix two strokes. I gues you don't want to be leaving clouds of blue haze all the time though!

My fuel pump sounds like it has a wasp in it too! (upon ignition start)

My AC pump sounds like it has a mosquito in it (very annoying as it cuts in and out every 10 seconds or so)

My belt (one of them in the back) sounds like the PVC catsuit chaffing between Davith's butt cheeks (the only gay in the village) untill I lase it with silicone lube, then its ok for the rest of the journey until the next day when I start it up again. Then more chaffing!!

But even with all these minor niggles, I still love her and she has never left me stranded.

I love my Noble
