Hi All,

Well I've just bought myself a JCW Cooper S, awesome car great fun, good for every day use, but I've started looking at weekend cars.

I phoned up Mole Valley in Chessington and booked a test in a Tuscan S and a GTO-3. Turned up Saturday morning and met Spencer.

First out the blocks was the Noble. We pulled out slowly from the garage, after about 500m or so Spencer nailed it. I was absolutely lost for words, what an incredible car. I was expecting it to be a very harsh ride, with dubious build quality. How wrong I was. The ride was similar to my JCW Cooper S in terms of firmness, and the build quality was not far off. After Spencer put the car through its paces, it was my turn to have a go . It really handled like a pussy cat, so easy to drive, yet awesomely quick. After about 30 minutes we went back to mole valley and took out the Tuscan S. I must admit I was not all that impressed by the S, the whole car rattled throughout the entire journey, and the build quality was not upto that of the Noble. I felt as if I could really push the Noble, but I just wouldn't dare get close in the Tuscan.

Suffice to say I have completely fallen for the Noble, what an awesome car. Thanks to Spencer and Mole Valley, I now have a completely new definition of fast car

Time to start saving

Cheers

Michael

Test drove a M12 GTO3 at Sturgess yesterday.
Now having to embark on Project "How am I going to sell this one to the missus so I can get one to drive down to Le Mans next year!!"

Get her to test drive it. That should convince her.

I got my M12 from Sturgess, excellent service, very helpful, did you talk to Chris or Michael? Unless your other half completely hates cars a test drive should help you.

It was Michael.
Test drive!!! She would have to stand one foot on each seat just to get the handbrake off let alone get it into gear
Been leaving plenty of pictures from your site on the PC which helps, it took me long enough to convince her the 993 wasn't a frog eyed Beatle.
I think next time we can visit the showroom let her look at one whilst I have another test drive
