Route to Noble

[goodlife]

Just wondering whether previous cars somehow lead to a Noble.

Last 3 cars I owned were
Jaguar S-Type 4.0, then a
BMW M3, and finally a
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S.

The trend seems that they get quicker and more raw each time, so the Noble is the obvious next selection!

So come on, what were the last 3 cars you purchased prior to the Noble and was there a trend?

More importantly, what's next - Ultima? MG SV?

Your assuming the MG SV will ever be built, Mg are not doing so well

Bit of a 'getting more comfortable' trend here Adrian - you'll be in a Bentley in 10 years time

Hi AMG

Not sure about the CLK 55 being bomb proof, mine was a 2003 model and awful got rid of it for the Noble after 2 months.

Check out my profile for the cars as way too many to list.

When I bought the Elise S160, I was one of the few people buying a more practical and slower car. Insurance premiums were much higher, though :-( The Westfield was insured with 5 named drivers, including track days, no no-claims bonus for 400 quid a year!

Hmmm, maybe I was just lucky- I ordered and collected it direct from the factory in Bremen! Also, I don't do too many miles these days.

[lx993]

Pug 205 GTi 1.9
Subaru Impreza turbo
Lotus Elan (M100)
Scooby (again)
Porsche 993 Carrera

Of all the cars, my ranking would be:

Anyone out there got a car that they rate as better than their Noble???
