Now I'm back in the Noble fold the GTR seems surplus to requirments.

So the plan is to sell it, then have:

A mad vehicle for very dry days ... current thinking is the V Storm for April / May delivery.

The Noble for dry days

SUGGESTIONS PLEASE to move the family / dog around on wet days - am I too young for a Phaeton? 730D? HELP!!!!

The Landie for when it snows.

How large are the family and the dog? I use a 335D Touring for that purpose - it's still reasonably entertaining to drive when the situation allows, and while not ultimately involving it's a lot better than most. The engine is incredible - I always swore I'd never drive an oil burner but with twin sequential turbos the delivery is very impressive, none of the bog and surge previous turbo diesels have delivered.

When you around to have a go in the tweaked GTR?!

Would be good to try the standard one back to back before you sell it. smile

The Supercharged Rangie is unbeatable. But I never get to drive it cos the wife uses it for horses and dogs etc. So I traded the GTR for an M5 Touring. Faster than a GTR and over 500BHP to boot and a bit of cashback!

It has one of the best engines ever made (that's the industry's opinion not mine). In addition they are now half price (or a bit more if you want a real good one...like mine). And the V10 has escaped the recent recall. No brainer really!!!!!!!!!
