Just a short note from all of us here at the factory thanking all those who came to Rockingham on Friday for what was a superb day! Our cars have been given some TLC today the silver press car that Phil was driving needed new tyres and rear pads, but apart from that was as reliable as we expected. Our demo 2.5 needed cleaning after Justin put it in the kitty litter (which we are bagging up for him as a momento of his day)

For a first time factory day we were overwhelmed with the enthusiasm that you all have and will be following this up with a bigger event next year so please watch this space.

Our sympathy goes out to Chris... we will be looking at your car for you this week and Danny who's car never made it due to a roundabout.

Again guys thanks and we look forward to seeing you again at other events, after this my first track day i am now hooked and will be begging to represent the factory at other events

Cheers

Stuart

Best fun I've had with my clothes on. No, really.

Great to meet so many like minded people, and thanks to all original owners who made me feel so welcome, as I'm one of the new kids on the block.

The car gives so much confidence when pushing hard on a track, it's a real joy. I'm looking forward to doing a lot more track days, as I know there is a lot more to come from me.

As a suggestion for next year (and I'm sure you will get many). Donnington rates high on my list. I bet the cars would clear the noise test on even a quite day.

Roll on Spring......

Many thanks to all again.


Cheers,
Ian.

Stuart,

Kindly put - but it was the driver, not the roundabout, that prevented me from bringing the car!

Despite being car-less, it was a great day. Mr Bennett needs to be certified.

Stuart,
I'd just like to add my thanks to all involved for organising a fantastic day. It was great to be able to put faces to names, chat to other owners and generally enjoy the day. My only mistake was waiting until after lunch for my trip around with Phil Bennett - I nearly saw the burger twice!
Can't wait until the next owners get together and I'm now doubly determined to save my pennies for the track sump - oh sod it! Is Mastercard OK?

Thanks for that Stuart!

From now on I am to be known as "Joust - Last of the Late Brakers"

What was even worse was the fact that I had the Chairman's son in the car at the time!

Twas an excellent day. Stuart - with your permission I'd like to stick up an version of my owners list writeup on here?

It would be great if we could have pure Noble track days more frequently. I often go to Porsche Club track days and it is always great fun although I understand that the factory probably would not be able to support many days like Friday! What a day it was!!

Maybe we can organise something through the Owners Club on a monthly basis?

Stuart, I'll go along with everything that's been said.
Great car , great track , great bunch of people, great fun , great day and food was ok. Before I went (first track day with car), I really thought that I wouldn't need any more power.Not for me this 'my brain slows everything down when at speed'phenomenon as experienced by Schumacher et al , when I put my foot down it all appears like bloody Star Wars.
After having a couple of laps with Martin in M400, however, I think it will be hard to resist the power upgrade when it becomes available!

Are you still offering drives at BTaP Joust? Should I bring my shovel!?

Of more importance of course is - did anyone get any video? Especially in car shots? You've got to love that induction noise!

Long story. A granny stepped out in front of me so I saved her life by mounting the kerb...

... and if you believe that, you'll believe anything!

How many ended up in that state? I feel sorry for your insurance company given the price of those rims!

In reverse order

4 - and yes, Danny's insurance co will "love him"
Yeah yeah yeah - wait for my "report"
Video in car - there is some - I'll dig out the URL.
BATP - yep, assuming things all come together - I'll let people know. And no, shovel's will only be required for excavating the passenger seat, not the car
