I saw the interest in the SA trip photos and thought some of you may have interest in a DVD I have. It is produced by 1Gracing out of a series of segments on the Noble for "Sports Car Revolution" a US show. It is about 20 minutues long and shows the whole process.

As I am in the states and there will be alot of interest overseas I would like to get it to one responsible person over there and let them deal with it or maybe it could go on www.gto3.com with the help of someone more computer savy than I and everyone could have a look. Let me know if this is useful or if it has already been offered.

James, I would be interested in a copy! I live here in the U.S. as well. Please email me with the details. I recorded the showing from broadcast tv, but as you can imagine the quality is not very impressive. Thanks!

I don't mind hosting on it gto3.com JMG. If you email me through my profile I'll let you know where to upload it and if necessary get it into a format suitable for Internet viewing.

How about doing a bittorrent of it. Once its been refactored for internet viewing its gonna suck, unless someone is kean to host 350megs or so!

I have emailed Anthony in an effort to get it up on his site, If you have not been to the factory and I suspect the vast majority will never go, this video is pretty informative. Hopefully we will be able to make the video available soon.

The video is available for download on my website and should be on GTO3.com soon. I apologize for the quality, expect a better version in the near future.

Would be nice to see a proper version done by the factory, minus all the advertising.

Just finished watching!

I keep thinking I'm going to get a letter from Noble saying they made a mistake with the price and I owe them another 20 grand!

I LOVE MY CAR!

Martin.

If theres a way of getting it to me, I could host it as a bit torrent. 997 megs isn't a problem for a torrent, and I'd very much like it in the high quality format, also I may be able to re-encode for better size depending on what codec is used.

James, thanks for making this excellent video available - now I know even more about the Noble manufacturing process - it is a pity that the US importer had to be the first to inform me of the intricacies of the build process though - this should have come from Noble, IMHO!

The video also reminded me of the up-front and in-your-face US marketing style - brash but direct and for sure, after viewing this, it'd make me want an M12 (however, I don't need another right now!) :-)

Any way we can get hold of the original? I'm sure I could reencode it to be better quality without being so massive, and also without the message over the middle of the picture saying its unregistered software

p.s. Where can we get that map that gives 380bhp with no mods? Yellowshed I'll buy you some pints if you slip me a disk

Here's a link to the website to the show that covered the Noble it's name is Sports Car Revolution.

www.sportscarrevolution.com

It's a show that started earlier this year on Speed Channel. It done the same people who do another that airs on Speed called Dream Car Garage.

And the website for that show is. www.dreamcargarage.com.
When they shot the footage for the Noble for SCR in South Africa they also covered on DCG the Superformance side of New Tech business.
In seeing both sides of the New Tech operation you the extremely high quality that goes into their work in building the cars they make.
