From the live internet chat last night on the 5th gear web site :

Mode3t : Tiff, what's been the best car you've driving around the test track?

Tiff : I suppose on our test track the Noble M12 takes some beating

He might change his mind after the Mosler he drove beat the Ducati on 5th gear earlier this week?

That Mosler is a superb looking brute - saw the Rollcentre one close up at Castle Combe - would love one in the "stables"

Rob,
I love the De Walt Mozzy as well. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite between that and a Saleen.

Martin.

Can check to see which chat it was, one was after this weeks program, but it might have been the previous one.

Don't doubt the Mosler is quick though

Yes we have seen mosler at Castle Combe but the Autocar road test of the road version was "poor" for a number of reasons, one of which was noise which made the 3R seem quiet from inside the cockpit based upon Tiff's raised voice on 5th Gear; best left as a track car?

Isn't it also 100k+ or is that the Saleen? If so you'd have to be keen/v. wealthy to buy a track car at that price!

The dark red S7 in the Gillette advert was to die for.

So that's what it is. I originaly thought this was a Noble. Want to see a Mosler doing a different sort of burning?

I initally thought that they look like 2.5l M12 wheels to me. If you look at the website the current YES! roadster has very different wheels.

looks nothing like


That front clam looks very suspisiously like a M12, as do the wing mirrors.

But then

look like the same wheels, particularly the "red" centres to them on that first picture.

There is something like <a href="http://www.carsale">www.carsale</a> (?) on the side shot - I hope he wasn't trying to flog it.

Very intruiging!

The burnt out car in the picture is not a Noble. Just look at the deep vents on the front clam-top for evidence!

Also, our wheels have four nuts, not five, like the ones shown in the pics of this car.

Five nuts, if you count the one behind the wheel.
