Hi I am now the proud owner of a GTO-3 in black and live between Bristol & Bath.
Since ownership I have found some interesting info which i would like to share.
1) front & rear pads £ 135 aprox each from Noble
I can get them for £ 150 for both
(they are genuine ferrodo DS2500 (Road & Track) direct from supplier. Used to be Noble only, now on general release.
2)Clear front indicator lenses. They are the same as Land Rover. Aprox £2.50 each from Lucas UK.
I wish to identify side repeaters. They look simular to vauxhall corsa (except I want clear)
Does anybody else have tips
Also going to the Ring with Noble, M3, RS Focus on 1st April 2005. This is one of the only weekends early in the year were the track is open all weekend. Been there many times but never in a Noble. Anybody else want to come!
Hope to meet fellow Noble folk soon
P.S SPR117T (SPRINT) is the reg

Also forgot to mention a very trick bit of kit being added to the car.
A few years ago I lost my left leg on a fireblade. Anyway the clutch on my M12 is quite heavy although I do drive it normally. Next week having a "Duck clutch" system fitted. Comprises of a few electronics and a trigger on the gear stick which when pressed pulls the clutch in giving me full control at my fingertip each time I chage gear. It is extremely quick and does not effect normal use of the pedal if required.
Gives new meaning to heel and toe.

Nice one! Gives new meaning to Tiptronic/Steptronic, et al too! :-)
Are you coming to the factory day on the 20th - would love to see that?

Welcome to the club Paul
Mail me if you're ever the other side of Bath for a drive out; I'm near Devizes and yet to see another Noble round these parts! Dom.
Welcome Paul, I have only recently joined this gang, have not actually picked up my toy yet!! Never even been over 4000 revs in one. Can't wait to 
her.
If you click on the name on the left of the screen you can see everyones profiles and what car they have. Although some people have not got round to updating them yet (Justin!!)
I have not met anyone yet and am gutted to be away for the Noble day but I can say these are seeming to be a blinking nice bunch of guys.
Looking forward to meeting them all too.

definately up for that Dom. Are you going to the noble day. If not what noble have you got, where do you go in it. For me the whole experience of the noble is to meet others, go for a drive, trackday, etc. This was one of the main reasons I got into bikes so much.
I'm most definately going to the Noble day Paul
I'm driving up with a friend on Saturday and stopping the night at a hotel ready for the next day. If you want to join us it would be great to have a convoy. Mine's an M400... new at Xmas so still getting used to it. Won't be bringing it back from Rockingham though as it's off back to the factory to rectify a little paint 'mistake' 
Most of my fun has been local to North Wilts so far but keen to get a few days out once the roads are a little less slippery
Mail me offline if you want...
Dom.
