Haha , thought that would get a few people ready to pounce. But No , seriously, Don't buy one if your either camera shy or dislike talking to random strangers.ive had mine a couple of months now and still amazed at the attention these cars attract.You can't go anywhere without people nearly shunting you from behind so they can get a phone pic or a closer look.I had mine in to a local auto electrician for some wiring upgrades and he had to shut the always open doors of his garage to stop every " Tom Dick and Harry " swanning in to have a look at the "transformer" in his workshop. If you can live with these issues don't mess about and get one bought . By far the best fun ever to drive . Wished I'd bought one years ago when they were cheaper !

Yep, I've had people following me holding camera phones filming through Leamington recently. It's all a bit odd.

Probably what's thrown me the most with the Noble is that it seems to get a good reaction from just about everyone smile

Coming from a Skyline GTR it's a novelty, that thing was appreciated only by petrolheads and despised by everyone else biggrin

I always warn friends that follow me when I'm in the Noble, to be prepared to be cut up by other drivers wanting a closer inspection or getting their camera phones out. More often than not, it happens.

Last week I drove half a mile from my house to fill up. In that distance I had pedestrians wave and drivers give the thumbs up. Plenty of people with good taste living around me!

I kind of hate myself for enjoying it. Feels wrong, it's like the only reason left to own the car now and it seems bad to think that way. I thought I'd grown out of it when I sent my barryboy ford escort to the scrap heap 8 years ago frown

I don't know if I've grown used to it but when I first got it i remember the camera flashes on the motorway and pedestrians videoing but for the last year or so it's only been to odd glance.

Slightly ashamed to say it but it adds to the experience of driving one for me.
