Ah - that'll be those pesky turbos and that rather nifty short 1st gear with a very fast change to second

... to defend my earlier comment, I never went out in an air cooled turbo version, so could not bring them into the comparison.... sorry.... next time hopefully

btw, B'thorpe all seems a long time ago now..... Craig, any late summer/early autumn availability?

I wouldn't mind being "stuck" with a 993 Turbo. If I had to pick one car for the rest of my life, it would be up there..... IMHO the best looking of all 911 variants and not totally impractical (i.e. four seats)..... Michael perhaps you should be taking one out for a test drive?.. same buget (roughly) as a Noble.

I know it might me sacrilege to say, but the 993's just don't do anything for me.

My mind is 99.999% made up with the Noble, for me it wins on so many fronts.

The Noble is way sexier, to begin with, just remember there are different shades of beetle grey...
