North Essex Meet

[robp]

My e-mail was underwhelmed by folk who on another thread said they were up for a meet. No matter. I will be at/outside the Fox Inn in Finchingfield around 1pm on Sunday (tomorrow)if anyone is interested in a natter about things Noble or indeed other things. For those with Tom Toms it's CM7 4JX. Great roads around here, but as I said before just watch out for the bikers on the wrong side of the road. Hope to see a few folk there.

Adrian

[sjc]

Would love to, but two slightly poorly children may decide otherwise I'm afraid.Please keep me informed of the next one though!

[s3am]

Would have popped by, but I'm at Vmax.

Have fun, lovely part of the world, I'm over Clare way.

Blimey, place is bristling with Nobles! Adrian (W) do you want to meet up at Tesco car park or outside the Queen Vic at 12.45 and head over in convoy?
PS you wern't in Tesco car park today in a yellow Spyder along with a yellow porker, by any chance??

Sounds like a good plan. If I can I'll pop along. Parking's going to be interesting! Last time I was there we had 2 Nobles (Dan and myself) and attracted rather a lot of attention (all good).

All true

This pedestrian thing is getting old already and I've only been without a car 22 hours!

... and a serious hangover from last night's Noble wake down the local Dan?!

[DanH]

Its been a heavy week already, so didn't drink too much last night. Just bored my other half discussing what next!

She just saw a GT2 role by in town though and liked it. Thats half the battle

[robp]

OK, hows about this for anyone interested:

12.30-12.45pm Tesco car Park , Great Dunmow
1.00pm Fox Inn, Finchingfield (CM7 4JX). If that's chokka and we can't park anywhere. Leave at 1.15pm and take B1057 to
Fox & Hounds at Steeple Bumpstead (CB9 7DQ). Should be there just after 1.30pm if we have to leave Finchingfield.
Final contingency if F&H is naff or chokka, is Bluebell Inn (CB10 2PD) at Hempstead (take B1054 from Steeple Bum to Saffron Walden).
Only place we definitely won't stay at is Tesco car park! So if you follow the route (Finchingfield, Steeple Bumpstead, Hempstead)in that order you will definitely stumble across us. Even if you don't, the route is perfect Noble drivng. Be safe

[alex s]

right, hope to meet at tesco, see you guys at 12.30

Drove through Finchingfield today and was surprised to see three Nobles sitting on the hill together...lovely.

Now I know why!! Did you give the road to Sible Hedingham a blast?

[robp]

If you'd passed by a little later on you would have seen 5 of them perched snugly on the hill! Did cause a bit of stir amonst the locals. Might have been 6 if Chippie (in Dan's stripey car) had turned round and come back.
And no, we didn't blast up through Sible Hedingham way (although I do quite regularly). Roads today were more crowded than I've ever seen them - must have got wind that the Nobles were at large.

[ThatPhilBrettGuy]

Great to meet everyone. I was going to suggest swapping mobile numbers for next time, but as they don't work there....

I'll post up a couple of pics later.

Cheers

Phil

[sjc]

Yep. nice to put faces to names was especially interesting to see some of the mods you've had done. must get a Bov I think after hearing Adrians as he left!
Will try and get there a bit earlier next time.

I'll have to keep an eye on the Noble Forum for next time and pop over for a look. Martin Beddow at Auto Interiors did my Libra interior panels and he was building his Noble in his factory unit when I collected them.

[alex s]

Good to see you all today, thanks for the drink Rob.
Nice to see some new faces, and some not so new.
Phil, get them photos up.
