Living in Thailand the last 12 years might explain it Rob.. Not to many of them over there.

But obviously covered 100's of thousand miles on UK roads over the years and I confirm I've never seen one.smile First time for everything they say.

I have literally done thousands of miles on UK roads since I was 17 and the only Noble I have ever seen on the road was James Dearden just down the road from where we both live with a broken driveshaft after racing an F430!

Actually that's a lie. I was in mine 2 summers ago and saw a yellow M10 on the A3 south of petersfield!

So doesn't really count. Hundreds maybe but tough to see one on the road!

Did the same in Arras last month. Just sat in an adjacent bar and watched the reactions biggrin

I have only been a member for 5 months but loved cars for about 40 years and popped into your Noble forum on Sunday as I spotted my first Noble I have ever seen on the road.

Firstly can I say that I'm normally in the TVR forum which seem's to have the reputation of very helpful people full of everything you need to know.Amusing topics and conversation by a lot of very sound and genuine people which I would 100% confirm.

Reading through some of your bantam I would also confirm you sound like all of the above mentioned that's coming from the TVR boys and girls. ( Yes we do have TVR lady drivers) eek

Secondly : And this may of been mentioned before,(I have not had the pleasure to read all your topics)... But I see Ferrari F40 in the design especially in that red.

Great photo and car thumbup and will keep my eyes peeled for the next sighting wavey

We also have lady drivers.....the response to me just above was from a lady who was racing a 360 Modena.

I thought it was a guy racing against a 430 but I was mistaken!

Your last bit is not too much of a compliment for her by the way smile

Interesting though and I certainty would't of expected a girl climbing out of one of them... Go the girls... Respect thumbup

Edited as your probably just like the TVR guys and taking the P out of your mate;)

Well spotted....all banter simply in jest.

Although his breakdown racing a 360 would make you think he drives like a girl, James is in fact (very much) a boy. I was trying my best to get a rise out of him!!!

M40 northbound, Saturday 12 o'clock by Banbury. Your car looked fantastic, not sure you wanted to play though. I was in the silver tuscan.

Cheers keith
That was me haha. My passenger was very hungover hence the lack of play. Your Tuscan looked and sounded spectacular!

I think you wanted to play but I was just enjoying roof off touring mode. (Dark blue Chimaera)

First Noble I have ever seen on the road. wavey
Haha was enjoying the dense charge air!
Saw you at Tescos, thought your brave in the weather. Tiv looked nice, my old boy has one. Do you attend the Tiv club at Meriden?

Just looked at your profile and picture confirms that's the one I spotted thumbup

This is my 3rd TVR...Had the Chimaera 5 months and covered 3,600 miles with probably 3,400 being with the roof off woohoo

Have only been to one meet at Meridan as only recently joined the TVRCC and missed last months as in coincided with the classic at NEC but will be heading up the next Sunday as I think this is the next one.

Also went to the Black boy's last meeting..

And the real reason for not wanting to play is because i would of lost smile Not often you have to say that when your in car that does 0-60 in 4.5 secssmile

Lovely car you have Alastair,would love a closer look at it next time,so if I see you again please pull over if you have the time. byebye

No I was in my daily drive (White 5 door M135i) so you would of thought I was a tt anyway, where do you get it cleaned looking for a decent valeter so might bring the noble up next week

I do it myself! Might get it detailed one day but it looks pretty good if i just keep it clean with a regular wash and polish. Various valeting places round these parts. Happy to take the shed there but not the nob.
