No doubt you were obliged to purchase several copies in an official capacity.

I know what you mean, Dan, that Wolves Express is a "Reet Laff!"

I have this image in my head of Micknall bent double, furiously checking the Penthouse copy for accuracy. It isn't nice.

"I never thought I’d say it, ever, but cancel your 911 order now."

Hi Stuart,

Long time no speak!

Re: Penthouse - it's still not a patch on those staff 'birthday gifts' we use to get at Autocar...

Dan,

'Local rag' - actually, the Wolves Express and Star is the largest evening newspaper in the country (outside of London), with a circulation of around 500,000.

And one more for our Dutch friends - the M12 GTO-3R is Autovisie's main cover story in the current issue. Please go to www.autovisie.nl. I've yet to receive my copy, but apparently it's a very positive test.

Autovisie is Holland's biggest car mag, so this will be a real boost for what is already a buoyant Noble market.

The M400 is strictly a two-seater and there is no boot as such, but six storage bags are provided into which it would be possible for a (well-organised) couple to stuff enough possessions for a weekend away.

They must have forgotten to give me mine!!

Also to add this. In the August issue of Maxim Magazine USA.
The Noble M400 get's a small write up. Titled Achtung Baby! the Supercars of '05. In side article called Shadow Killers the M400, Koenigsegg CCG and the RUF Rt 12.
What they is this.

What's a sub-six-figure coupe doing in his lineup? Kicking @ss. Noble's M400 (the British maunfacturer's third model) has made a career of embarrassing exotics costing several hundred grand more. Bragging rights coe a midmounted V-6 strapped with two turbosand a lghtweight body carried by a prefected chassis and suspenison.
Regulation keep noble fro Exporting the car to U.S. soil, but they can offeer the M400 here as a component car-buy the body and drive train separately,
them assemble yourself. Only 1g Racing in Ohio (1gracing.com) sell'em, and thre's a four month waiting list.
That's 120 days to collect empties.
