Yoda954 - that would have been me. Standard 3R. Remember seeing you come up behind me.

Couldn't believe it, on my way home, I pulled in to the BP station on the A12 to find another Noble on the forecourt! smile

Pretty quick for 'standard' yikes I was having to...ahem...give the engine a bit of a 'clear-out' to keep up (at a safe-ish distance) wink

It was stunning. Great fun and Adrian and I pulled in the best part of £5k for their charity. For 2 laps in the GT as a passenger, the public where paying about £120 a time. Still, they got their money's worth as the chief police pursuit driving instructor said, he couldn't see a place I could have gone quicker without ending up in the gravel smile.

What would probably make you more jealous if you found that various organisations sponsored us and the ferry, hotel, petrol etc etc were paid for, so it cost us nothing.

The second track-day was taking out the cancer kids the charity works for. Lots of really sad cases, but they all loved the cars. They obviously just point at the car they want to try and off we go. One little girl on crutches got lifted in and her mother said she'd like to go round slowly at no more than 90km/h. No problem, just a bit of driving miss daisy and another happy customer.

Then her mum asked if she could have a lap.

'No problem. How fast do you want to go?'

'Oh, I like speed, as fast as you like....'

Dokey, I thought. By the 3rd corner she had tears in her eyes, and screamed please slow down. Happiest part of the day that hehe

yes Had a nice little drive around in one recently. Would you believe their VMAX is slightly better than a standard 2.5L Noble? Ok, takes a bit longer to get to that speed though....

We'll see. Lots of options in this field so just watch this space.....

I'd have you in the corners though laugh

Very nice IMO smile certainly something very different. I think that would be a great ownership experience (especially the LeMans Classic) and a lot of fun!!!
There's one near me that I see occassionally - looks great on the road.
