Just taken on A.C.G.s GTO3.

Not had a chance to stretch its legs properly & too tired tonight, but looking forward to the weekend!

Actech, it doesn't have the nitrons anymore. I'm still debating whether I need them as I don't have the budget to track as much as Andy did. Probably going to leave it for now. Does have all the oil gauge and brake line upgrade type things though which is nice.

Stuh, yep Have you picked up the fezza yet?

Pic will follow when I get a chance. Just changed isp so need to sort out hosting.

Compared to driving the Elise, it feels a lot bigger and wider. You can definitely feel the extra mass. I've not really adjusted to the car yet though, and I've been featherlite on the throttle because there so much more power there. Managed to chirp the rear tyres pulling away already...

I think I will miss the size and agility of the Elise, but the performance and composure at higher speeds are way better. Its also more of a crowd pleaser which may get annoying but I like it at the moment

well done mate...another alien interloper finally turns into nobility...I couldn't wait to buy mine, so I've still got the alfa...and I'm now thinking about keeping 3 cars (just in case the noble doesn't cut the commuting mustard in the snow and ice)- it helps when the cost of sacrificing my 9 years NCB to the noble only came out at £23....bargain.

YHM. If its just a few pics you want hosting, i'll host them foc. I'll also have my own server in a week or so, so could set you (and any other PHers) up an account at cost price

Rico, think I've got web space with my new isp, just haven't sorted it yet so should be fine. Thanks for the offer though

Tomahawk - Andy is selling the nitrons separately I believe.
