Burned a Ferrari 360 last night

[nutsoncars]

Had the Noble for 10 days now, still have not seen one in 700 miles, was out with a friend last night for a meal, was coming back into London when I saw a lovely Ferrari 360 Black with a private plate WH05H, well i gave him Whoosh, Noble style, beat him off the lights, he was non too pleased, raced up the road in Knightsbridge, the adrenaline is still pumbing, my mate had a wicked smile, he's got a Porsche but i think he now wants a Noble

Addictive isn't it!

[nutsoncars]

It certainly is, bloody lovely, the sound is sooooo nice, out of interest do you know if you can get differnet fixing screws for the bodywork instead of the star/screwdriver ones they have??

360s are disappointingly slow. The sound is worth it though!

I love the way you can show up exspensive motor's, it's bloody great!!!

Cor Kenya, that sounds nice, its been on my hit list for years want to do the Safari, just thought, Noble could make an off road car, that would be interesting.

Yes am going on the run, there is also an Old sch run in October and the Noble owners club meet, which i really want to goto, so I am sure we will meet up.

Do it. I went 15 years ago an it's still right at the top of my list of greatest holidays.
We had a guide that spotted a leopard hiding in some grass. We were going past it at about 30mph - when he reversed the van to take a look it took me about 2 minutes stopped dead just to see his eyes and nose (and only because he blinked)! Dont know how he saw it.... Ahh, great memories....

Nope, Griffs sound better and some are faster

Did it take much to light???

360s are quite slow compared to a Noble. No contest. The only thing that would come close would be a CS or 430, and thats if they were in the right gear.

Good isn't it? I haven't had anything go past me yet in nearly a year of ownership - amazing how many M3s, Boxters, etc. think they can hold their own against it - clearly don't know their cars very well. They have no chance at all. Very satisfying when they're right up your arse (my pet peeve) and you can see them disappearing into the distance behind you when the open road arrives.

One day someone will go past me and I know it'll play on my mind for a while - hopefully it won't happen for a bit yet....

Without wishing to sound like a fuddy duddy, I don't believe a public forum is the correct place to openly discuss how you have been competing with other cars on the public road, nor, even more so, how you might have been getting close to the maximum speed of our car.

Not only does it make you look like an irresponsible driver, it could also have serious issues for you if you were ever prosecuted for a motoring offense and the prosecution found such posts.

Keeping your bragging for the pub is probably best.
