Mate I love my Noble.

Took my pride and joy to work this morning and couldn't believe how much more fun the daily commute could be driving

Came out of work to find the heavens had opened. I haven't used mine recently in the rain (Clean freak)but what a laugh. I had totally forgot how much respect you have to give the car.

For the boys out there with more than 400bhp and Corsa's all I can say is bow

I have 620bhp (530lb/ft) under my foot in my STi but 4 wheel drive while helpful, certainly takes the fun out of it (wet and dry).

i find that booost = wheelspin in the wet. you have to be very careful with the accelerator.

got some wheelspin at about 2000rpm in 3rd when i was out on monday, even though i was being gentle with the go pedal!

Noticed the odd wheelspin in the last week or so. Two Noble crashes in two weeks now. Be careful out there guys.

It's more likely to bite back when you take your foot off, not under power,if it lets go under power dont react and it'll streighten up,
