Noble Ownership. An introspective. "Isn't great/sh!t when.."
Discussion
I find owning a Noble leads to some pretty interesting and bizzare activities and events...
Not least of these is a disease which causes owners to frequent forums like these in order to read, with an insane degree of maniacal enthusiasm, about other owners's "damp carpet spots" or "Tyre pressure tuning". It's totally inexplicable, but I cant help visiting everyday AND it's better than lost and 24 put together.
So I thought we could create a thread that'd attempt to display or, showcase if you will, all the noteworthy things that occur to us during time spent inside Nobles. I propose we set this out in some kind balanced way, a bit like ying and yang, in the format of "Isn't it great when..." and "Isn't it sh!t when...".
For each positive, you must supply a negative.
Hopefully it'll be amusing, and give us something to read about outside of the usual... and perhaps also give prospective buyers a real idea of whats involved.

Some examples:
The anicdotal:
Isn't it great when:
A valet parking guy is so thankful for letting him park your car, he arranges a free wash n wax at a fancy health club you're at, free of charge... DESPITE the fact that you left Hatebreed playing at 120 DB on the CD player.
Isn't it shit when:
Some road engineer goes completely renegade and builds his speed bump an inch high than everyone elses.
The perfect balance:
Isn't it great when:
Every modded car you pass near burns it engine out trying to prove a point.

Combo's - Anicdotal and practical:
Isn't it great when:
After emerging from The American hand car wash, a group of women stop, and burst into spontaneous song "ohhh thats such a beeeaaautifful car, oh thatss such a wonnnnderful car!"
Isn't it shit when:
Trying to unlock the fuel cap with that tiny key, with all the longer keys trying to drop down and scratch the rear clam. It's never a dull moment re-fueling.

A real one then:-
Isn't it great when:
You fill her up with petrol and as you go into the koisk the guy says "what a great car".
Isn't it shit when:
The petrol filler overflow pipe is blocked and you have to say, "yes, I know it's great but have you a bucket and a sponge so I can get rid of enough petrol from the filler spout so that I can get the lockable cap back on".

is't it great when
loads of people take photo's of you in the car on the road
isn't it crap when
you pull up to a petrol station and everybody wants to stop and ask what car it is, over and over and over and over - eventually you start to aviod busy petrol stations because of the nuisance

You know you can go past anything (and dont have to prove it)

You still waiting mate! - you can come and have a go in mine if ya like? Although mine only has 425bhp so might not float ya boat!
Isn't it great when:-
You drive from London to Birmingham, stay there for 25 mins and drop something off, then immediately drive Birmingham to London... and when you get back to London you STILL take the long way home.
Isn't it shit when:-
You convert the amount of $$ spent on fuel into # of DvD's you could of bought instead... and S&^& you meal!
p.s. My first "great/sh!t"'s were all 100% real, seriously no kidding on being sung at. Unbelieveable i know.

Isn't it great when:-
You change your tyres from semi-slicks to PZero Rosso's and get some great winter grip!
Isn't it shit when:-
After having the new tyres on for 8 miles, you accidentally reverse into a jutting out kerb whilst doing a granny a favour and tear the tyre wall. Straight back to the shop for another new one at £175!!
