Owners previous cars

[darrenfrp]

Just a question out of interest. What previous cars have the Noble owners on PH had.

I've not really had great cars:

Escort 1.3
Escort XR3I Cabriolet??? (the worst car in the world ever)
Fiesta Zetec
Racing Puma #275

Not a showroom to boast about.

** Past cars **
1. Renault Clio 1.2 8v MTV edition (one of the finest first cars you could have).

** Present car **
1. RenaultSport Clio 172 Cup edition (A superb hot-hatch, but without any of the Max Power image stigma).

** Future cars (in no particular order) **
1. Metro 6R4/Ford RS200 Evo (I just have to know what owning a Group B rally car is like).

2. Nissan Skyline R34 GTR (Naturally 600-700bhp will be needed, but I might go round telling everyone it has "1000 bhp" just like everyone else does).

3. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI (with a few bits done).

3. Noble (of some description).

4. Porsche 996 GT2/3 (can't decide yet).

5. Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale (all those decibels).

6. I'm sure I've left some off.

Yes I'll have to work hard, yes I intend to work hard once I finish my degree, and yes I'll have a crap house as a result of all this machinery. I know, I know

No great shakes here.

1. Citroen 2CV (no laughing at the back)

2. Citroen Saxo VTR

3. Peugeot 306

4. Audi S3 (chipped, and finally something not french)

5. Noble GTO 3R (BIG step up!)

Its an exponential power trend, I wonder where you go from here...

Lotus Esprit V8's and BMW M3's (latest shape) seem to be the most common p/xs we have taken in against them

[stuh]

Spooky - I had an E46 M3 prior to my noble..........

[mb1]

My story goes along those lines :

1. 205 XS (my first car with a huge 90 bhp !)
2. Toyota Paseo (US version - when I lived there)
3. Lotus Elise Mk1
4. Noble 3R

Great to hear from you all. Its always interesting to hear the different types of cars people have had.

Nathan - great to hear from someone a similar age to myself. I will be 25 when I pick up my 3R.

I was 25 when I got mine - you won't regret it, best thing I ever bought!

[edmundo]

I was 25 when I got mine in October.. 26 now though.
A bit of a step up from my Vauxhall Viva I had at 17.

I still see my old TR7 trolling around from time to time too. TR7 - M12 both great British sports cars (maybe)

[amg merc]

...I still have BMT 216A, my 1964 metallic gold Aston Martin DB5 (as used by Mr. Bond/Connery) in perfect condition!

You've got a DB5 - git! they must be one of the top 5 looking cars ever!

[jkbelise]

Currently have a 3R and a 430bhp Audi s4 - previous cars were

GTO 3 Noble
911 C2
355 Berlinetta
M3 new shape
About 5 elises of various specs
280bhp Oettinger TT
and my first car was a 750cc Fiesta followed by a Fiat Punto ---- my how life moves on

[fourhundredbhp]

Rob, you kept that DB5 quiet ! I've had lots of cars but my two favourites were a V12 E-type and a 67 Camaro SS convertable...oh...and my Reault Master!

A4
S4 saloon chipped
S4 estate chipped
Pick-Up Truck (Don't ask)
M12

[ashp]

it's amazing how guys in their mid-20's can afford the 3R. When I was that age, I had a 1970 MGC GT (3 litre) and I thought I was doing well then...!!!
