Well today was the day !!!

Arrived at Dominics house at 9.30 and 45 mins later was driving his cherished car away. Don't worry mate I will take very great care of her ;)

So there I was driving down the M25 back to base in Kent - a trip of approximately 1 hour, glorious sunshine, every other car a 'rubber-necker' and feeling all...well 'complete' really. I know it sounds a bit lame but my life has turned around these past 5 years and I now have an adoring wife, a beautiful home and a REAL supercar !! Long may life continue to be this good - sometimes I don't think you really appreciate what you've got until you've been the other side - I am a very lucky man :)

So back to the story - wake up at the back !! I have today personally counted 3 people taking photographs on their phones and just happened to have the window down driving through town (ahem!), basking in the glory of Noble ownership and all the fantastic reactions you get. I have been out for 3 runs and of course there will be the obligatory run through a few local towns tonight. Don't worry I'll grow up next week !!!

Over to my Mum's tomorrow for the 'oh my God what is that, you're going to kill yourself' speech :D - followed by the - 'the Police are out today you know' sermon !! (I know she will be dead proud really !)

Anyway thats about it for now, got a little date with a yellow key fob and the beauty that came with it....oh and she fits just perfick in my stupid 1930's garage.

Adios new amigos...

Lord Graham :D :D

Get used to it.

I have had people with videos filming me. Keep an eye on your mirrors, they will snap you from all angles.

Enjoy and welcome to the Nobility

Kind regards

Ash.

I started getting cold feet just before putting my cash on the table. Andy Glover gave me some reassurance and I did the deed. Best decision I ever made. You only live once...this is not a rehersal!

Lord Broad,

I'm glad your enjoing the car, I was gutted when you drove off with me and my little girl waving....but I'm glad it's gone to a good home and I know it'll be well looked after.

Just left with my EVO and the M3 convertible for the time being which will do.......or will it!!!!

Bye Bye Nobility!
