Hi Greg. Just thought I'd let you know who was harrassing you this afternoon on the M11. Pop into the Noble forum every now and then, wishing I still had mine. Thought I recognised the plate as we came up behind you. Looks like you were on your way to Le Mans, so hopefully you will read this. Have a good weekend - may see you down there!

Cheers Bradders.

Bradders!! I wondered who you were. Yup, off to Le Mans, just got home after a great weekend.

Plenty of Nobles about too which was nice. Travelled down with Justin (Joust) in his M400 actually.


Hope you're well mate.

Hi Greg,

At least you now know that you're not being stalked. When I saw you're plate, I had one of those odd moments of recognition.

Le Mans was a hoot as usual - just need to find something slightly more exciting to get down in next year. The "bus" has all the comforts you could want, but still lacks that certain something to make it a very special trip. Trust the drive with Justin in the M400 will have generated a giggle or two!! Saw a couple of Nobles on Houx, which brought back fond memories.

Cheers Bradders.

I saw Joust pull away from one of the tolls in France, what an impressive sight that was :-o

Small world, was just going through some LM pics and reading PH and recognised the plate! We were in the stickered up Silver R35 GTR going quite sedately after being pulled by the fuzz...

We were at the Chateau - Beechdean Mansell liveried Tuscan - any idea how the Noble got smashed up? Was definitely going home on a low loader, no way it was driveable

Glad to hear nobody was hurt and you got it home OK. Hope the insurers don't give you any trouble and it gets sorted soon. Maybe see it at the chateau next year!
