Without doubt the M15 heralded a truely new level for Noble.

I can say without any doubt the buffet was the finest the automotive industry could muster.

The overall style of the cheese'n'pickle sandwiches balances beautifully between the contemporary and the out'n'out retro.

The cocktail sausages hold a dynamic that can only be described as pure engineering mastery.

And the depth, aroma and the sheer breathtaking power of the coffee left our hearts beating furiously.

And the new car was blue, so you'r shagged Sherwin.

Hy Joust!
Some info for us in Italy please...
What is the most similar car in production looking the exterior of the M15?
The interior are well refined as on the M14 or even better?
On the technical part obviously no doubt...Noble is simply the best!
Thank you, regards from Monza!

Ciao

And I bet the cheese and pickle sandwiches are quicker than the ones they used to produce.

Now I understand the silence - sorry chaps wasn't at the briefing

I can't wait to drive it.

Thanks to Dave for picking me up, Lee for offering to fix it and for lending me the Mondeo (the rumours MAY be true that it's running a development engine)and to everyone at Noble for letting us see the car "first" - really made me feel special.

You all deserve the success you'll no doubt experience.

Nick

ok...ok...but the really burning question is...


who made the tea?


(or can you in some other way drop us the code to answer the question concerning life the universe and everything...is it no longer 42...is it now 15?)

I can confirm that tea and coffee were able to me made to their exact requirements by the potential owners. Never seen before in NobleTea(TM), the ability to change the precise make up of the strength, flavour and aroma was never heresofar seen before.

Lee was apparently overheard as saying "previously Noble customers just had to put up with whatever one of the lads made, and I often had to step in to make a decent cup when they got it wrong, so, along with the other things on my 'must change' list, I decided once and for all we would go 'fully customisable' therefore enabling customers to make their own tea. This was a critical step in the developments up until this day".

Oh, and the car had 4 wheels.

Do I take it then Justin that you are using the full strength tea bags, with not even a dash of milk, and that the tea will be stirred by two whisks positioned just so in the cup? and that the cup is unlike any other mug that has gone before, with new streamlined dimensions and a beauty hitherto not seen before on a noble mug, even the previously viewed development mugs?

The cups were of a new design, hitherto unseen before, but were not mugs.

The car had a steering wheel as well.

In addition to the new NobleTea (TM), visitors to the factory were also provided with NobleCoffee (TM). Lee has for many years been an avid NobleTea(TM) adovate, but due to popular demand, NobleCoffee(TM) has been added to the list of refreshments available to customers.

Simon Hucknall was over heard stating that the 'crewe' required lots of NobleCoffee(TM) to get the launch of the new M15 ready.

The M15 also has two doors.

We were explictly asked by the factory not to describe the car in any shape or form. I'm sure you'll be on the release list with the photos.

Watching some of the gannets that were at the launch, I can confirm the sandwiches indeed did seem to dissapear quicker than I'd ever seen before (but then maybe that was because they were so beatifully cut with just the right amount of pickle to lubricate their decent down your throat).

Hopefully it also has an engine? Last time I saw it (as M14) it didn't have one.

We can confirm the rumours of the M15 running off a flux capacitor were untrue. However, it wasn't totally rulled out that there could have been a whiff of old tea bags coming from the engine bay, but then someone overheard Dave saying he'd spilt his NobleTea(TM) earlier in the day on the carpet, and they had just parked the M15 over the top of it.

Oh, and it had front lights.

The rumor mill has been awash with reports of a flux capacitor in the M15.

Having spoken to the factory regarding this, I can confirm that no such item is fitted to the car, however an improbability drive has been fitted, and works very nicely with a nice hot cup on NobleTea(TM).

(sorry Mr Adams)

It also has rear lights too. Not to be confused with the side lights of the lights which come on when you open either of the two doors.

Mmmm, Damn. I think I might have let the cat out of the bag there......
