Sold One!

[crb1]

Congratulations to my mate Mike.
Took him out for spin on Saturday. Today he's bought a pre owned GTO 3.
He says he can't believe it.
May be he'll post here later in Celebration!

[MikeN]

Thanks Chris.

I won't believe it until I actually drive it out of the dealers garage. Until then I am going to try and stay calm...

Welcome to the Nobility

What did it for you Mike?

[MikeN]

Thanks mate!

Going out for a trip in Chris' was the last straw really. It just feels like a proper sports car should to me.

Somewhere along the way at Noble the usual badge/branding BS which can easliy cloud your view of a car has been left behind. IMO This car is just about one thing - driving pleasure, and I can't wait to get out in it..

Roll on Le Mans '04....

Mike

Lovely Azure Blue one by any chance

[Jimmer]

Congratulations from the Jimmer Le Mans Team Captain!
Only problem is how does the crew get to Le Mans for the drivers parade and lots of on Friday night, followed by the traditional water in Arnage?

Better leave for Le Mans now in the MX-5 - the ante has well and truly been upped!

Chris is your car a red one on an 04 plate? if it is I drove past you near a certain optimax garage at about 7.45 this evening.

Darren,
Does that mean I've be spotted?

[dazren]

I turned to follow you but then thought better of it. I was in a silver 996 at the time.

Is that upon realising you couldn't keep up

[mikeN]

Mustard,

Should be heading up your way this weekend. Return journey will almost certainly not take as long!

Jimmer,

cheers mate.. Don't worry about the MX5 keeping up, just wait for the rest of us to get hopelessly lost so you can save the day yet again. Especially with me navigating.

I feel a trip to carrot crunching land coming on this weekend Jim/Chris. Hope to see you then.

Mike

Er, not quite. I decided against following the Noble on the basis Chris and myself have never met and it may not have been him driving, in which case some mad stranger flashing lights etc may have been a bit off putting.

Just to metion he was driving towards a particularly nice section of private test facility where 1.3 units has been reached in a past life.

[crb1]

Pardon my ignorance but what is 1.3 units?

[dazren]

oops picked this unit of measurement up over on the biking forum. Think decimalisation.

It was a joke. The winky smilie thing is the giveaway.

[Jimmer]

Not long now Mike!
In less than 12 hours you will be the proud owner of an M12.
See you in Brum with Chris domani!

PS Any chance of a detour via the local runway?, just to ensure that the car runs smoothly to the redline in top. No Calais-style barbecues please...

[mikeN]

Picked up a lovely Azure Blue from Nick Whale this morning. Thanks to John and everyone from the garage for making everything go so smoothly!

Also, a big thanks to CRB1 and Jimmer who came up to give me an 3R escort all the way back into deepest darkest carrot crunching land! Thanks boys..

My first impression is however disappointment...

...Disappointment that I didn't buy this car a year ago - could now be 1 year into Noble ownership!!

This car is bloody fantastic in every department..

Mike

[mustard]

Glad your pleased

Lovely Example you've got there
