I've just noticed that most of my posts seem to be me moaning about one thing or another 
I'm not normally like this. Must be 'cos I'm so desperate to get my car!!
The good news is Moley just told me its in build in SA and should be over here soon. Just waiting for a date
At last I can be happy and cheerful again!!!

Mini Moke
Sorry couldn't resist!! M400 in Gunmetal with body coloured bits including ( I hope ) mirror struts and assorted extras in the anti theft arena
Good news! Is it not an 8 week trip on the water?
Micknall told me once that in the early days some loaded owners were so desperate not to wait that they paid thousands of squids to have the car flewn over to the UK!!!
Now thats keen!!

Hope they're not telling you this in response to seeing your "should I cancell" posts.
Fingers crossed!!

Great news, sounds like you got stuck behind all the US ones, the US noble forums are full of people getting new cars.
I presume you're now feeling like a 3 year old at Xmas???

That is without doubt the understatement of the year
. The only problem now is that having done 5 or so years in the Merchant Navy when I was younger and navigated from Cape Town to Europe regularly I know it takes about 3 weeks to do the trip. Seems like I won't actually get the car until the back end of November. But hey thats in time for Xmas think of all the pressies I can buy her

Not poor but def not that loaded
. Unless they are going astern most will do the trip in about 3 weeks depending on where it is shipped from. We used to do the Gulf to Rotterdam in 6 weeks at about 12 knots!!
I hope Moley are not that nasty. If they are

Ha, many of us Pioneer Nobility have suffered this wating game frustration - I suggest you go and clean out your garage, paint the floor and walls, measure your drive for angle of attack!
Whatever you do - DO NOT read threads here, purchase car magazines with Noble aticles in them, speak with any Nobility or visit your local dealer - otherwise you will become a PH bore and a pain in the ass to all non-PH types around you - you have been warned!
Oh, and order yourself a personalised plate, Nautelis airhorn and car cover ready for the birth!

Had looked many times at that site and drooled lots!! What about the Rouch (Rousch Roucsh etc etc) exhaust though?
Last I looked the electric mirrors weren't there yet. Must tie another knot in the hankie
Cheers for all the suggestions guys.

Roush exhaust is very simular to the NM one, myself and Graham had the H&S one well over a year ago, very good quality (H&S are very well known for making some of the best bespoke exhausts, with proven performance in the country) it is made and fitted by them to your car so the fit is A1. Plus IIRC it is about a grand cheaper fitted. Would recomend the upgraded fuel pump and loom at the same time. Sounds great as well.
Electric mirrors are on Grahams car for testing I believe...

Electric mirrors sound like a fine move. Fuel pump and loom upgrade I've seen mentioned before any idea what sort of cost? I've noticed a split on the exhaust issue with those who've fitted each claiming theirs is the best. I'll have to meet up with folk from both persuasions and assess the aural note myself.
