Hey guys, just thought you might like to take a peek. Needless to say, I was the fastest car out there. Great times, and a lot of beautiful cars!

And the speed limit is MPH not KPH

One thing that caught my eye was the light cluster on the back of the Noble. It is a really nice looking clueter, much better than the afterburner ones (IMO).

I wonder if they are available in the UK

Its not. The shape is different and so is the clam. you would have to modify and respray your rear clam.

Whats the story with numberplates in the States. Am I right in thinking you only have to display one, front or back is the owners choice? Wish we could have the same rules here. Noble looks awesome in black without a ruddy great white rectangle polluting its lines.

Great pics

How cool is that?


He drives to the show on a pair of Harleys, then joins in with his M400 alongside his buddy who arrives in a "rig" (for the brits that an articulated lorry...) with 8 ferraris in it.

Those boys over the pond certainly do things in style.

The US ones are from a hyundai sonata and will only fit about UK cars 1-10 without modification ()
(the real earlies have a gap between the inside of the light cluster and the black upright....)

They also have diferent colours and will not pass UK MoT without some serious wiring !

technically, we are supposed to have a front and rear plate. usually not enforced that much unless you are really screwing off. its a $10 fine and well worth the risk to keep the lines clean.

Regulations regarding display of front plates also depend on the state where the car is registered--some states do not require a front plate at all, and others strictly enforce their use. Also note that any U.S. plate mounted to the front clam will have to "hang" down in front of the radiator opening--not a good idea when crusing in 45 degree C desert weather.

I seem to recall that (in Calif. at least?) you can sometimes get away without plates by quoting some law or amendement about freedom from being identified by villains?!

It's only the more progressive states that just require a rear plate. I think the bank robbers in California used to back away from the scene or something, so they decided everyone needed to have a front plate too.

Do I notice a centraly placed oil cooler?


Those stone chips; I have never seen anything like them, in one trip?

If there were oscars for cars it would be Brav for "most use most quickly accumulated".
