Sorry to see it go mate. It was great to have met you through this forum and the subsequent meets/blats in the rain, LOL.

I hope we can still meet up for a run and a jar or two.

Hope you're going to stick around mate and I'm sorry you've let her go. Would it be rude to ask why?

Good luck and welcome to the new owner though...

I'll save Humpy the pain of having to still think about the car now that I've got it!woohoo

I'd been toying with the idea of buying an M12 since attending one of the London tunnel runs last year where I saw one close up for the first time. Having sat in it I just had to have one.... And now I do! biggrin

FYI I'm based on the eastern side of Southampton.

Gadge - an M400 without the sound deadening and intakes moved up 2.5 style smile

James - no doubt mate smile

Carl - I didn’t have deep enough pockets to run a Noble as an everyday car and take her on track. I really want to do track time and haven’t been able to in the Noble so it was time for a new strategy. Needless to say it was not an easy decision...

i used to own a 160 elise and whilst it didn't have a lot of grunt was a lot of fun on the track

if you want some really cheap track fun - get a trailer and cage an old 205 gti or something similar (I know of a track prepped fiesta thats up for grabs about 150 bhp and capable of frightening a lot more expensive machinery)

i've always loved the idea of one of these bike engines mini's or a radical !

Welcome,

there is a few of us down hear now so some brighton runs look on the cards soon.

By the way there is a sticky thread at the top that is a fun day for 20 Nobles mucking about in an open area. there is a couple of places left if your up for it. We could meet up for the drive up.

Thanks everyone for a friendly welcome.

I've had the car three days and love itbiggrin

Its been out every day (and on two runs in the evenings). Just can't get enough!

I will need to start to understand it more at some point (tyres, shocks, geometry etc etc) but for now I think I'll just drive it!

I've added my name to the list for the activity day on 5/10 - see you all there.

Bondy, would be good to meet up with another of the worlds prettiest (the cars you fool!)

Welcome mate. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I've now got to see Humpy thru his withdrawal symptoms now. Time to hide my keys I fear.
