What kind of Karma do you have to settle with an M15?


I think you should add your name to its list!


How lovely is it!?



Why are those who have seen it not posting on here?

Because the swines had to sign an indemnity form to go and see it signing away both testicles and their place on the list if they breathe a word.

Karma says I am owed several high performance cars and am getting to the end of my list crabman

I don't think we signed anything to stop us describing it ... simply not to photograph it.

Put your money down - you'll love it.

Weren't you listening, nor did you read the form you filled in to attend?

In addition, the factory explicitly asked the people attending not to describe the car anywhere. They have gone to massive lengths to obtain the required press on launch day, and it was an amazing geasture of trust that they reveled the car to the people they invited.

To betray that trust would be a right kick in the teeth, and I believe, mean never again would we be welcomed into the trust of one of the leading car manufacturers in the UK.

Please respect what the factory asked us all to do. I obtained explict clearance to do the 'sandwiches' post, but that is all that should be discussed.

Joust - I utterly understand your point of view (and now that I haev the information I share it) You'll see I've edited the post that could have offended (but didn't).

No I didn't sign a form and no I wasn't listening - I was 25 miles away, broken down on the A45 waiting for Mark to come and pick me up to bring me to the factory - When I arrived I simply walked through to the new car.

Still - no harm done ... that's the point of checking!

Opps - sorry - my mistake.

I didn't realise you were late and hence wouldn't have heard Micknall's statement about Internet forums.

Sorry again - totally my fault (but in my defense I didn't realise)

Guys

We really appreciate the 'radio silence' and hope those that don't yet have the details on the M15 are prepared to wait until the 4th. It will be more than worth it, I think we can all assure you.

And Joust everyone at Noble appreciates the gesture meant so much to the customers, Lee knows that you guys have helped Noble grow and the family atmosphere is obviously important. The customer preview was my first real task on official Noble duty, and I was surprised and really impressed with the way lots of customers knew Lee at the start of the day and virtually everyone did by the end.

As for the folks that didn't make it, roll on the 4th is all we can say till then!

Thanks again for your understanding everyone.

If that's true Greg then I'll be miffed with both Simon and Noble!

Even after requesting a place on the hallowed preview team Simon told me not without a deposit - If he/they opened it up past that ruling then I'm PD sure I've earned a place in that group via my support of the marque along with specific Noble individuals over the past three years!

I'm going down the pub!

It's a shame - if I had not spent the best part of 80k on my M12 I would have been at that opening - i.e. when I rang up the factory the day the M14 was announced I was asked if I wanted to be one of the first peolple to put a deposit down.....

still can't wait to get back to my M12 - I have now not had it for a total of 7 months.... except for 1 1/2 days driving.....

Rob, I was sent an invite in error and although very tempted to toddle along, I spoke to Simon and decided that it was not fair on all the others, so I passed and now wish I didn't!!


Iwant to see it now!!


I am up for a service (woohoo 3 days in the Rover!!) on Saturday morn and am praying that it'll be there. (but I doubt it will be)
