Got my car - 3R Azure Blue

[dodgy]

Picked up my car last night from Bobby Archer Motorsports. Still got a few kinks we need to iron out - hopefully Dean can help out.

Will post some pictures when I get time.

People keep taking pictures with their camera phones which is a little disconcerting when they are equiped with a flash and it is dark!

You'll get used to it :-) and welcome to the Nobility!

Just got mine last week too. US #61. It's having the same little problem as yours. Hopefully Trevor can sort it out for us quickly.

What is the "kink" or little problem you're having?

Congrats!

Enjoy it

Are the roads ok where you are for a car as low as the noble? Some of the ramps seemed really steep when I was last in the US.

Some of the roads are a bit of a nightmare - the main problem seems to be comming for the forecourts of garages (service stations) or leaving car parks. I had a little crunch about 200 yeards after picking it up...bugger!

The little kinks involve the gear shifting mechanism. Getting into and out of first(especially out of first is a problem). I should get this tuned up in the next week.

Dodgy, unless you have an M400, which has revised gearchange, you'll notice some difficulty, especially when engaging reverse but it does definately get better after a few thousand miles!

Good luck!

Agree entirely with AMG Merc. Give it time and it will become smoother.

Nice pictures.

It's interesting to read the comments on your Lotus board as well.

I think you made the right decision. Much much better than an Elise and I like the colour you chose.
