Message received today from MV...

This is ridiculous - am going Saturday!

"As you are possibly aware Top Gear took the Noble M15 today from the Excel stand for The Stig to drive. Unfortunately now the car has been removed the organisers will not let the car be put back on display for the rest of the show.

We are sorry for the disappointment of anybody who was planning to go and see the Noble M15 during the last few days of the show."

The 3 time. I don't believe it had 6 spd or LSD when tested.

How does the power to weight and torque to weight ratio compare between the two vehicles?
