Owen,
Some joy riders blocking you in, or has that bloody ugly blue roundy globby sort of german looking abomination been dumped outside your garage? Perhaps it proved so unreliable and they are waiting for the AA?

Don't like it, looks cr@p.

Boy racer etc.

I am NOT jealous in the least, I am more than happy with my Vectra 2L estate, very economical, it is dual fuel.

I think my next will be a tasteful white van, far more practical.

Obes, grow up. It is not all about fast cars you know.

The sound is amazing ! Did a few miles in it last night but am away now until Sun ! cry
I've never wished that Northampton had a tunnel more !

As a quick review, it's miles infront of any of the ´S´ audis i've driven in the past. Some of the old traits are there but it's mile longer before they appear. It will still understeer when you really push on but you are already making serious progress. This thing is an absolute rocket point to point and the throttle response is staggering ! Not much going to live with it when there's a bit of damp on the road.
When you're not feeling like a good drive, it also makes a pretty good cruiser. It backs down to a pleasant V8 backround burble with the S mode off !

Haze will be putting it through it's paces for a few days
It'll be interesting to see how the fuel use comes out !
The Noble gets a real test now as it becomes my full on daily driver!!

Awesome car....well done!! Have already made my mind up about getting one too.

Stock exhaust sounds phenomenal...have a listen to the miltek however:
