Well not really!

Had the first 100 drive of my new M400 today.

I had a 3R before so I guess I am not really a new member. Sadly my 2004 3R was dispatched to the service bay in the sky before Christmas 2004, thanks to a rubbernecker who decided he wanted a better look at a Noble at 85 MPH!

Initial differences noticed between a 3R and an M400....

Gearbox and selection. Heaven compared to the 3R! (I can find reverse now.....)
Seating. Very comfy
Power. Still running in sadly!
Driving position. Great. No sore calf muscles on my right foot.

I know you guys see it and say it all the time but thanks a million to Bob and Simon at the factory for helping me over my difficulties since the 3R crash. Very Very much apreciated. (Oh and of course to Gerald at Peter Smiths also)

Might get to do a Rockingham now!

P.s

I Got some 3R mats, headrests and a bolster cushion going cheap!

mmmmmmm headrests. Interested in them since missing out on Jousts ones. What colour might they be. Also, you say mats and floormats, are there 2 different things?

Did you get the new M400 through the rubberneckers insurance then?

Sorry Greig,

I meant bolster cushion. Black leather.

Never mind then. At 6'3 I think I will give them a miss.

Cheers mate.

My wife's 5' 3" so we needed a bolster cushion!

Don't think you will need my headrests either then!!!

Ahh, I thought you meant bolsters instead of headrests.

Still looking for a pair (or 1) of them for the longer journeys.

Not keen to have to open the piggy bank though.

There are a set on the classifieds for £150

Yep I was looking for headrests too, but 150 is more than its worth to me by a reasonable margin!

Sorry Guys,

Some confusion here on my part.

I have a set of Noble 3R headrests - Black Leather, Never used.

I also have a set 3R footwell mats (They don't fit in an M400,)

and I got the Noble 3R Leather bolster cushion for sale also.

All supplied from the factory.

They are mine on the ads forum. I would be willing to let them go cheaper if someone would like to mail an offer.

Cheers,

Not getting on very well here Mr JAZ. I now cant find them on the classifieds either. I looked in accessories/noble and in cars/noble and can't see them

Could you post the link to the place that you have hidden the ads!

Greig,

Me too. Someone must have taken them off the ads but it wern't me! Weird. I can email a photo of the headrests if you drop me a note.

Welcome back JAZ! The first M400 in Scotland?

Sounds as if it answers my only gripes about the GTO3....

See you at Knockhill one day?

Hi Brian,

It's good to be back in a Noble again. I could be Scotland's first M400. Not sure. Did 100 miles yesterday and really like the car on the first impressions. May be see you soon,
