V6GTO - remember my grand?

[p490kvp]

Dude - remember this banter back in December 2005?

"And I'll have a grand with you that the M14 is released, as per schedual in 2006.

Martin."

Dear, oh dear....

[V6GTO]

Shame you didn't take me up on it, isn't it?

Martin.

[AMG Merc]

Ah, e-evidence eh - something is always lurking in the Ether to bite your arse!

I bet the M15 general production -(ie: after car no. 10) will be 6-12 later due to delays - sportsman's bet of course!

[joust]

Of course, as the M14 will not now be released, that'll be a 'no action' bet then Phil, so you couldn't have won anyway

Hello all,

Ha I was just thinking about this debate on a long drive! Obviously the money is an irrelevance just a pointer about how hard people can argue a point...

Not sure how the M15 is going, or what it will cost, etc, etc, etc

In the meantime the 997 is available and maybe the 998 will be due come the M15's launch?!!?!?! Remember...Porsche there is no substitute!

[DanH]

lol.

So Phil have you bought a Porsche?

[nickytwohats]

That's like suggesting someone buys an Audi TT over the 998 "because it's available".

Neither is are dummies, dispospable nappies and Farley's rusks, but you don't still use them do you....

Some people have graduated over tutonicness for their sportscar fix you know.

[V6GTO]

Finally, something that TVR and Noble drivers can agree on..............

[V6GTO]

Just passed a very new(less than a year) Carrera on a flatbed...no-one's immune.

N.o.t.true

and it can't be, since you diden't
whip it out for our benefit and record the happy event for posterity

[joust]

He never whips it out.. Owen and Ash on the other hand.....

[rich 36]

Well I'd heard he was only to happy to have it to hand,

unfortunately by the time he's fumbled with the
quick-release-mechanism.
the subject of his interest has crawled back under a rock
or passed throught the 'puppae' stage and flown off.

[joust]

By 'puppae' I presume you are referring to the small dog like syndrome of a small dog, in its formative years, being buried under 20 foot of lava.

Or did you mean pupae?

[rich 36]

pedantic,



mwarr ?

[P490KVP]

So why did the M14 get binned anyway? How is the M15 different?

Joust - it wouldn't be fun if everyone liked the same sportscars but it surely can't be a good thing when the new model gets binned within months of its launch? I mean even the Micknell was telling the world how the first press car was hoping to be out around Christmas time..

You know half my Porsche comments are tongue in cheek but you gotta accept that a level of efficiency is necessary!!

[joust]

M14 got 'binned' as you put it because of the reasons reported in the press.

www.pistonheads.com/noble/default.asp?storyId=13244

The M14 at the end of the day was just an updated M12. The M15, and hence the name changed, is a massive departure from the 12 with almost nothing carried over (Lee thinks that the glue used to stick the carpet down might be the only common thing...)

As for efficiency, not sure Porsche counts in there. After all they have taken 40 years to produce a car that overcomes the rather daft idea of hanging the engine out behind the rear wheelbase line....

Engineering excellence over many years yes, but efficieny no. Efficient would have been to have moved the engine.
