On the way up to vmax this morning in Mr_Tony's red Maserati we had a bit of a play with your stunning Noble on the M25.

Must say... that colour is just fantastic!!

I thought V6 GTO had been to the pub on the way there (or duty frees on the ferry)! He was weaving all over the place in front of me on the "formation lap" for the photo-shoot. It wasn't his tyres that needed warming, it was my hands.

Yes indeed Dan, good company and superb Bangers and Mash at the Hotel Eizabeth! :-)

Will post the new photos of Martin's M12-T (tractor model) soon (you know to what I am referring, of course!)! :-)

You were right, I should have eaten with you lot as I managed to go the wrong way on the A14 on the way back adding 30 mins onto my journey, forcing me to get a burger king on the way back =/

Dan, and all that chat about satnavs! Actually, I also went the wrong way after you - lost 20 mins - bloody roadworks around there! :-)

Rico, nice to "meet" you lads on the road on Sunday morning - wish the M25 was always that deserted! I was en route to the Noble day at Rockingham - keep an eye out on the PH news page for some superb photography!

The masser looked good - clearly I wasn't the only one car polishing on Saturday! :-)

And thanks yes, mine's in special Titanium which is the best livery to accentuate the M12's shape and curves (noble "in" joke - light touchpaper and retire... !) :-)

It was much fun indeed.

Rich and I were just cruising along... "thats a Noble" shouts Rich... so we speed up (within speed limits of course ) and catch you. Small wave then boot big of throttle...

you slowed a bit so we thought you were just cruising along then you FLEW past us.



We noted as you cornered that the Noble is sooo planted on the road. Just looked fantastic!

Gorgeous colour too
