I see you nearly every morning whilst on my way to work at Stansted. I am sure I have seen you, or you have followed me when I have been in the Cerbera, but my normal stead is my Mini Cooper.

Great car, look nice in Silver.

I have 120 very humble hours on an Extra 300 and I have to admit, it's the only thing that gives me a bigger buzz than the M400

Much respect to a test pilot!

Dom.

Was going to say 'might be me' as I do use the 1060 to get to work in the morning -but only v occasionally do I take the Noble (certainly not 'every day'). Last time out was last Friday. So another titanium Noble in the Chelmsford area...? Can't say I've seen one.

Ok, I'll bite. What's an "Extra 300?" Is that 300 more quid than you thought you had?

(He ducks for cover........)

Extra 300, Do you know a chap called Richard Teverson from Belchamp Walter near Sudbury. Family friend of mine and he has just finished designing and fully building an aircraft that looks similar to that. (has 2 wings, wheels etc) Great chap to know if your into it. He has a strip and a hanger with 7 air planes in it.

And he takes me up from time to time in the Moth!!!

Looks like a P-51 Mini. Bet that thing is a rush.

Sorry but I have to ask... if you've flogged an Extra 300 for a new project it must be something pretty damn exciting?!?

Not really I am afraid.

The Extra is like a Noble, really great for going out on your own or meeting other people with other Extra's/Noble's. Great if you want to go with a mate around France, but as soon as you want to take more than one other person, its just no good.

So I am looking for a newer, than I have, 6 seater that can go all around France and maybe to spain, plane that is.

Sorry not really exciting!

Was going to post piccie to remind you guys that this is a Noble site which is a car not a plane...
but my pathetic IT skills couldn't stretch to this So close your eyes and imagine...it has one wing, not two,and the wing is at the back, and the vehicle certainly isn't yellow...

Save you the trouble, and its a Pistonheads site not a Noble site.

Thanks Nick! How did you do that??
Getting back to your original question -is this the particular beast you see on A1060? Shown above going over Eau Rouge at Spa, which is just a tad more fun than the 1060.
And by the way your plane looks topper -friend of mine keeps a moth up at one of the Cambs fields, near Duxford I think- but as he's part loon I have thus far declined offers of an early grave.
