Ash, I can't believe you have a Noble parked outside your work in West Yorkshire and.................................................................that it's still there
Isn't the reason they closed the stations down because they are all in no go areas LOL! Just thinking Halton Moor, Gipton, Chapeltown for instance.
I used to work on the edge of Seacroft in Leeds, an interesting place to work!
Still, don't worry, it'll be fine, honest, don't have nightmares

Not sure the Noble attracts the same envy as Ferrari or Porsche - more interest than envy and assumption that owner is eccentric rather than flash - my experience anyway........!

Brian, my findings too but I'd say "different" as opposed to "eccentric"! (eccentric would be me with my favourite tartan deerstalker on smoking a Balkan Sobrani cocktail cigarette through a long mother of pearl holder whilst sliding my car around Marbel Arch with one free hand a la Jason King - that kinda eccentric! LOL :-)
But seriously, Ferrari = flash and Noble = you bloody well like pretty cars that are a lot more than show!

I have had more attention with the Noble than the Ferrari. Maybe as Ferraris are seen more regularly when the sun shines! LOL!
Absolutely, and my well-known photo conclusively proves your point...

Cheers, excellent pics! I had use to an XBOX recently and while playing a racing game they had a NOBLE GTO 3 to drive, which I had put against the Ferraris 360, 355, 550, 575 and other exotics. The NOBLE just pulled past them no problem and had terrific torque in the corners... I wonder how accurate the game 'Gotham Racing 2' is?
If it is accurate the NOBLE M12 is truely the fastest car for its price. The only cars I found to be quicker cost around £400,000 onwards! i.e. Ferrari Enzo, Mclaren F1, Koeniggsig, Pagani Zonda, Saleem, Porsche Carrera GT...etc
I wonder....

It killed the Mitsubishi EVO in a straight line after 80mph! I take it you were refering to the EVO as it was the quickest out of the bunch of Mitsubishi hall of frame showroom.
For price £40 - £50K, standard factory power and looks, there seems to be nothing out there on the market that can emulate the M12 NOBLE. I think Jeremy Clarkson said the same thing.
An M400 I've heard are better than a 3 and 3R. But come on how much more power do you need on the UK road... seriously, if you know your car well enough it will do what you want it to even against something faster.
I understand wanting more power if its the track days though.
