Was this a write up of the franken-m12 development car or a real m15?
Dan,
Lighten up, correct its not an actual M15 but as far as I know the mule is how the M15 will turn out so no reason for it to not be as good as predicted.

Paul, I didn't mean that as a slight on the car at all. Just keen to see how the real thing works!
Given the quotes I suspect their order book may fill up rather quickly which is excellent news.

Oh, sorry, I appologise, maybe I'm feeling a bit protective. It certainly does sound pretty awsome. Good for Lee and Noble.

In hindsight, I think my use of 'franken' was a poor choice so my fault I riled you!

Dan...you're too nice
I think most of the owners are feeling like the M15 is a new-born nephew at the moment
All...Please don't qoute any more nice snippets like that...not 'till I'm back working anyway
Martin.
I can't stand it any longer I'm off to buy Auto-car 
I went to see the M15 at Noble London over the weekend and it does look much better in person, though I am convinced they could fit in a larger area across the back (in the "boot" ), like the AMV8, to take a set of golf clubs in a carry bag

OK read the article and of course it makes me want it, I love Nobles, just think I should graduate through the M400 first

I'm sure Steve S will permit me to quote him.
The day after he tested the M15 mule he rang me and said the following (or words to this effect):
"In ten years' time, I'll look back on yesterday's drive as a pivotal moment in my road-testing career."
Now, given the wealth of experience Steve has with fast cars, these words should not be taken lightly.
I'm glad that those who doubted the M15's appeal, by glancing at some less than flattering shots, can now see that a/ the car looks tons better in the flesh, and b/ its huge dynamic capabilities cannot be denied by anyone.
Like Steve, I've driven some of the best sports/supercars in the world, and can honestly say that the M15 is in another league.
Trust what you've read in evo, CAR and Autocar. It really is that good.

Simon,
Great to see you here...new you wouldn't be able to keep away
Well, you 'orrible bu66er, that's just decided it. I'm returning to the UK in September to get back to work so I can buy an M15 (in a suitable colour of course
) The only other thing I'd like to say (ask) at this point is "Why on earth didn't you call me to do the press release photos?" I could have had the world eating out of the palm of your hand, drooling and salivating, but instead you released those slab sided abominations of photos which everyone hated. Or am I blowing my own trumpet too much
Martin.
Simon,
Don't do yourself down too much about the photos - they weren't that bad, and given the circumstances it's understandable they came out like they did.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and anyone that makes a decision on a 75k car from seeing a photo, well, err, there probably aren't actually that many!

Actually, the pics were not my doing - they were sourced after I'd left Noble. Same goes for most of the copy which accompanies the shots on Noble's website.
But I am pleased that the media drives/rides worked so well in CAR, evo and A'car. These mags command a lot of respect, so their word counts for a lot. The M15's also featured on three covers, too, which I'm pleased about.
Keep an eye out for the new issue of FHM, which should be out next week. Their feature on the M15 will complete the pre-launch work I did with the press.
All the best,
Simon
