Good lord! What a machine. As an instrument for driving entertainment I can't think of anything better. Even the wife likes it and she was very unsure about it until we went out for a drive last night!

I've already been snapped on camera phones. Had people snapping necks from a hundred paces to look at it. A bunch of lads on their pushbikes nearly cycled into a lampost!! The local yoofs in the village roared as I past their 'hang out' spot.

Thanks to Giles and all at TVR Centre/Noble London for prizing me out of my car and into the Noble.

Is it time to knock off yet? I want to go out for a drive!!

Giles mentioned you were going for the FP Intercooler mod? My M400 (also bought from Giles, couple of Months ago)is currently at the TVR Centre having one fitted, I'll update here when I get the car back (1st September - I'm in New York for the next two and a half weeks). Have you thought about the BOV mod from either FP or Vegantune?

Actually, just thinking about it, it's very reasurring about just how much Matt (FP) and Vegantune know about the Noble - they talk with such authority and passion.....

Additionally, the level of service from dealers is stunning, for example I was after a set of locking wheel nuts for the M400, I spoke to Paul at Vegantune who said he hadn't got any. Ten minutes later I get a phone call from him, he'd located a Car Spares shop in my home town that could get hold of them for me the very next day! All I had to do was ring up with Mr Plastic and go and collect them the next day.....

I've also just heard that yet another long time TVR owner has defected to the 'fast' side....

Yeah, I reckon I'll have the FP BOV and intercooler put on at the 1000 mile service. Still yet to confirm but it's highly likely.
