How fast is a Noble??!?

[leeshell]

My God. Bought mine today and it's awesome. What a great car and it's the first time I've ever seen one in the flesh; looks even better than I could have hoped.

Peculiar driving position (brake pedal seems offset slightly) but I can already feel I'm getting used. Don't think I'll ever get used to the speed. VFM

Trust me Lee, if you're anything likee
the rest of the rabble in here you'll be thinking about making it faster by the end of the week

I'd like to say two things to you...

1( Welcome to "The Nobility" &

2) You have exceedingly good taste

Can't wait to give mine a boot on a run tomorrow, wahooo.

Unfortunatly faster than my £75k 911 GT3 was (not top end though) Madmac p*ssed me off by being attached to the back of my car every time we pulled away from a roundabout on the way to Lemans last year.....maybe he was caught on a bit of my car...didnt think of that!!!

Perhaps it was due to the luggage "I WAS" carrying

Sorry to nose on to your site....I will leave now....

Thanx for your comments, just been out in it again - can't stop smiling.

Funnily enough the stereo doesn't work, not that I care and I'm in no rush to get it fixed, that sound....

[gaz 7404]

WELL DONE and WELCOME! weather permitting i'm going out to play tomorrow! Woooooooo Hooooooo!

[EBAYBRAD]

My stereo didn't work either. It was simply a fuse. Try checkng it. They are located in a compartment in the passenger well (US cars).

My radio has never worked...the head unit has been in the safe for 3 years

I can count on one hand the amount of times i have used mine too! Can't see the point in having a stereo to be honest!

Not very! and they can just manage enough grunt to peel the skin off of a rice pudding, on a good day. Handling is also a bit dodgy and theres a really iffy looking bright green one driving around, you can listen to plays on radio 4 when crawling down country lanes.

What exaclty is a radio, what does it look like and where do you fit it?
You never know, I may already have one.

Pics would be useful

LOL! First time I went a certain speed in mine it felt like I was doing much more - must be the lowered driving position. You'll get used to it soon enough .

the smile will be permanently attached now !

Jeremy Clarkson said somthing like "this car is so good your dog could have died and it would put a smile on your face !"

[georgeM400]

my car's acceleration still scares me after almost a year of owning it, so i tend to drive like my grandmother

[Rob Huntly]

All.

Test drove a GTO 3R yesterday with a 400BHP upgrade and before I got back to the garage
I said to the salesman sat next to me with a big cheesy grin on face "consider it sold"

Collect it next Thursday (7th Feb 2008) and cant wait. Best thing I,ve ever driven and makes my old TVR feel like a babys pram with a puncture!!!!

Any one know where I can get a rear light mod like the one Marcos did????

As per alex's answer to your previous thread, the Marcos rear lights are no longer available.

Either Noblemods, or wait and see if you like my 4 lamp conversion.

[Rob Huntly]

Ok, will do. Let me know when there done and approx cost and I could well have some.

Cant stand the Mondeo units.
