Greetings from TX, all! I'm interested in possibly ordering a Noble here in the states within the comming year and would love to be able to look one over first hand (trip to Ohio isn't in the cards for me). I live in Houston and will also be in San Diego from 6/22-7/14. If anyone here ownes a Noble in or around either local(preferably a 3R, but any will do) and would care to show it off a bit, have a chat and perhaps bless me with a short ride, I would greatly appreciate it! If you can help out, jus post here or feel free to e-mail me. Thanks!

BTW, I've heard there are a fair amount of US Noble owners on nobleownersclub.net, but I can't seem to access that site. Anyone know what's up with it?

Cheers,
-Steve

I'm in the same boat. In Houston, like the Noble, don't have time to go to Ohio. I'll be in the LA area from 6-16 to 6-20 and I'm in Dallas most every other weekend.

Anyone got one near here?

Heh, I'd love to, believe me! I'm already going to be in Southern California for three weeks this summer and live in Houston, so I figure somebody has to have one. I've seen posts of an owner in LA, but I can't find it now to try and contact him directly.

I think our LA agent is SpeedDemon (Marc)?!

Thanks; I'll try and give him a shout if no one closer replies. I've got a couple weeks yet before I head out there.

I don't have a Noble yet but I have a deposit on a delivery slot and should have one soon. I am in Austin and would be happy to show it off once it is delivered and registered in Texas.

And the South Florida agent would be myself for the moment, but I am certain that will change as soon as I get on the road with my 3R which will be very soon. 3 more days, and it arrives..............

I'm in St Louis and won't get my Noble until end of August or so (even that's quite a drive for you). However, the Ohio gang travels quite a bit to shows and race events so you may want to contact them and find out if they'll be closer to Houston anytime soon.

I saw this M12 GTO3 at the Art Center School of Design Car Classic in Pasadena California yesterday, and talked with the owner. A very impressive car ! It has upgraded turbos and some other mods. It's for sale.

I see its LHD (obviously). Are the pedals offset to the right, in a mirror image of my RHD model which has pedals skewed to the left?

Marc (SpeedDemon), is this yours? If so, why RU selling?

That must be Marcs, as he is the only one in Southern CA that has one that I am aware of. I think the NSX was more along the line of what he was used to.

Either way, sweet deal for someone located in CA as it is already in the state and smog exempted. Not something easily come by.

My car ships this week. So I should have a 3R in Austin in about 5-6 weeks.

Hi All,

Yep, that is my car. (And what a show that was! My Noble was displayed in the premier area, along with 2 Ferrari 250 GTO's ($6,000,000 U.S. each), an F50, a Saleen S7, an F40, etc).

I'll be putting the car up for sale in a few weeks (too busy at work for right now). Something's come up and I need to free up the money. I'll post here with details once I'm ready to "officially/publicly" put it up for sale (though inquiries ahead of time are welcome -- it just might take me a few days to reply though!).

Yes, it's the only California legal, smog-exempt Noble, and there are no more smog exemption numbers this year so someone's going to have an amazing supercar with true exclusivity sometime soon .

Best,
Marc
