TUT TUT NOBLE AT GODWOOD
Discussion
went to goodwood festival of speed today,was excited to hopefully Get a good look in and around the m600. SO I THOUGHT!!!! waited around for an hour and not a rep or sign of Peter Buterworth. went away and came back, and again no one around..... waited 3/4 of an hour and still no sign of the scarlet pimpernal. went away, and came bact to see if there may just be someone on the stand of the m6oo for the 3rd time and yes you guessed it still no one.every other manufacturer had staff maning their stand even Gienetta next to them had someone to talk to about the car there the whole time.
its times like these that i wish companies like noble would go out of buisness.i love the car but there customer or should i say potential customer relations are diabolical
HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME PETER!!!!!!!
apparently it was like this over the whole week end.maybe i should have tried the beer tent????? pmsl

Someone must have turned up to drive it up the hill today (Sunday) as I was a passenger in the Lamborghini Aventador and it was in front of us going up the hill in the afternoon. Looked good in metallic grey but not sure about the red wheels. Never saw anyone near it whilst it was parked though. Maybe they have sold all the ones they intend to make so don't need the customer service bit!!

Agree on the grey/red wheels combo, not the best look!Peter was there on the Thursday, didn't see anyone after that, but I wasn't really looking. On the Thursady Peter was answering questions from joe public and showing them around the car. Atleast Noble were there, didn't see Ferrari's stand anywhere!!! Best hospitality we found was Skoda by a mile, well done Skada, great job. Ps, saw your car Tony, top of the hill, looked very good!!
The devil said:
well I was there at 8-45 and had a chat with both peter boutwood and dave beasley, then peter drove it up the hill slightly before other car stuffed into the hay
Yup, I saw him at around 8:45 as well and had a good chat. At the top of the hill we wondered why no other cars appeared. I joked with Peter that the M600 is fast, but not that fast 
Anyone know if the BMW people were ok? Looked nasty.
I was at Goodwood all day yesterday with the Noble crew as stayed with them the evening before. We spent all morning with the car in the Supercar Paddock before getting it ready and Peter then taking it up the hill, which we went and watched. Then, as Phil mentioned, there was a bit of an incident with an Alpina and the red flag came out, which meant the M600 was stuck at the top of the hill for near and hour by the time it arrived back in the paddock. The only other time I didnt see all 3 of the Noble crew with the car is when we popped to the Drivers Club for a spot of afternoon tea, as was bloody hot stood outside around the cars all day.
Had an awesome day, weather was perfect, cars were beautiful!
Thanks again Noble for your hospitality.

er um maybe i was at a totally wrong event!!!!!!!
i was stood by the noble stand for 1 hour, the car was there but not a representative from noble anywhere in sight. now i left and returned a coulpe of hours later..... again car was there but no rep!!!!!! tried again for a third time, as explained at the beggining of this thread and yet again there was a noble m6o0 but no one there. lets face it noble automotive,YOUR CUSTOMER PR ON SUNDAY WAS PANTS........ it isnt the kind of customer relations that you would expect from a company trying to supply cars to the high end market.maybe their order book is so full, that they dont need to sell any more....well done noble, the only company to have a unmanned stand clap clap!! imho

Sounds like you were unlucky Tony, as I saw Peter, Dave, and Adam (and Matt 
) twice on Sunday. The guys were happily chatting to people - Peter even roped Phil in to talk to someone about buying an M12, which I thought was brave (given that he often takes the same approach to PR as Phil Bennett 
)! The best time to find them seemed to be in the hour before a supercar run and just as the M600 returned from one. I can understand why you're frustrated but I suppose that's one of the issues of dealing with a small company, they simply don't have the number of staff to have someone there all the time. On the upside, at least when you do speak to someone they know what there're talking about, rather than being a bimbo or someone employed just to wash the cars.
It's a pity you live down south as otherwise I'd suggest you went to Cholmondeley. That way you could arrange to have a proper chat with Peter and maybe a demo of the car.

Similar situation on Saturday, I wasn't looking for anybody to talk to but watched for a while the Noble slot was noticeable for the lack of representation ( it was the same last year I'm afraid)
To take up Daisy's point on bimbos I was approached by an attractive Italian midget (female) on the funny six wheel car stand, she asked "you like", me "no" her upset "why not", "whats with all the wheels?" I lost the plot then as I think she was explained it handled better when it rains and was still really keen to give me a leaflet but I politely declined.Top marks for effort though.

as you pointed out its a small company,and as so they should cover all bases. being a mall company would be ideal as who ever they had manning their stand would be able to answer any questions that someone may have, and to view the car.i do understand that there wil be a lot of tyre kickers, but to leave your stand unattended for over two hours out of the BUSYEST day of the week end,issome what baffling. goodwood is an important venue and potential sales, how many people with less patience than i would walk away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are competing with ferrari and mclarean,infact pricier so really thereshould be no excuse. even a bimbo on the stand would at least have been some help to any potentional customers anyway,rant over.
