Had a great day at Goodwood. Met Roland Gumpert who said nice things about the Noble having crawled all over it in the car park. Then talked to Chris Marsh who is making the Farboud, followed by watching the M400 up the hill. Finally great drive back down the Sussex country roads to miss the traffic. Terrific!!
Oh and the F1 cars looked pretty good too, especially Jenson Button showboating in front of the grandstand.

I was at Goodwood too. Splendid day had by all.
What a wonderful feast of glorious machinery for any true petrolhead.
You werent perchance staying at the Lythe Hill Hotel were you?
If not... then who is M3 GTO? A very tasty Noble burbling into the car park as I parked up....

No must have been someone else as we did home and back in the day. Saw another titanium noble on the way down the A29 but going the opposite way. Goodwood seemes to get better every year. Noticed the jumbo had similar turning circle to the noble!!

It was my GTO3 at the Lythe Hill Hotel. Nice place. Packed out on Friday eveining with "Graduates' ball" or similar. Quieter on Saturday/Sunday, except for the whine of helicopters delivering/collecting guests. Registration is not M3 GTO, but mine was the only Noble there over the weekend AFAIK.

Me and my mother took her Noble there Saturday, but the only other Noble we saw there was Simon in the M400 doing a bit of showboating up the hill.

Had a brief chat once he had returned - looked like the M400 was as popular as some of the stuff costing 4 times as much in the supercar paddock.

Pictures here if anyone's interested:
