Does anyone else suffer from the "it's going to be only sunny day this week and so I have to drive the Noble" syndrome? The cure seems to be an extra long lunchbreak but I'm worried I've become addicted to the M400.

Never had this problem before with other cars ...

After a couple of times getting caught in the rain, you'll soon be an all weather Nobler !!! looking at the long term weather predictions I might sell mine and buy a boat !!!!!!

I've made a hard and fast rule to drive the car every time it's sunny! (I've done 3 1/2 thousand miles in 2 months ) Martin.

I felt exactly the same today and wanted to drag mine out of the garage this morning for a "Noble-fix" too -never got around to it and have been regretting it all bloody day!!!

As for Martin Jenkins (V6 GTO) don't believe a word of this lazy-days-in-Spain-with-my-Noble malarky - his missus has been making him do up Casa Jenkins every day since they arrived there and his car still only has 122 miles on the clock (and I did 22 of those!)!!! LOL :-)

Ther's a fair bit of truth in that, Rob. However, the most I've worked in one day is 3 hours so there's plenty of time for driving. There's not much time for working after a thrash on the jet-ski or the quad! Martin.

PS - as for the 22 miles, I still can't believe that after doing only 2 miles myself I let someone else have the keys. It was a bit of an eye-opener, wasn't it?

Yep, very trusting of you El-J but, as you knew, I did have over 6 months' 3R driving experience under my belt, my eyes tend not to meet in the middle of my forehead and I donlt dribble (much!)! :-)

Take care mate.

Why only drive them on sunny days?

Still fun to be had on wet roads!
