Well got back last night, 2300 miles 6 countries, 19 passes...great fun. Had 1 issue with the car about 4 miles from setting off, all down to bad workmanship from a dealer(more about that on Nobleparts.co.uk).

At which point I would like to say a big thankyou to Adrian W, gary and Steve. We got the car working at 2 am then I set off to dover to play catch up.

Rest of trip the noble ran very well with no issues
If you guys have never done the alps, you should, the roads are just amazing.
A quick couple of photos

True, I know that if anyone needs their alternator changed, me and Adriam are now experts, intresting point to note, the bottom allen bolt only came out with a buzz gun, even that took some work (and they undo 430ft/lb!!!)

What a Hoot that looks. We did the French Alps in a 528 Touring with 4 folks & Holiday Luggage this summer - you've now confirmed that we need to do it 2 folks with 2 pairs of pants in a Noble yumyum

Love the stelvio pic. Was going to suggest you removed your front splitter before you tried to go up/down it smile What cam setup are you using and could you send or host a raw file? cant get the full screen to work on the link. Hoping to get over to Noway in two weeks, just before it turns really nasty i hope :P
