Thanks for all the information and banter but im selling the Noble.

After spending a fortune on it and getting it absolutely mint I have done lesss than 1000 miles in it and have decided I just cant justify having it sat in the garage not being used. the new job looks like taking even more of my free time so its going.

A dealer wants it off me but if anyone steps in first its theirs (hate dealers!!).

If anyone wants the Nitrons I have not fitted or the false wheel bolts I got after I refurbed the wheels let me know.

Otherwise its so long and thanks for all the fish.

I would be interested in the Nitron's. PE me a price. smile

Did you ever fit the oil cooler? How much are you asking for the car? Not that I need another Noble but I have a mate that might be interested.

Cheers
Andy

I know I shouldnt sell it, but less than a thousand miles is stupid.

The wife loves it and went nuts when I said it was going.

Mate, the car will love you if you sell it to someone that uses it. It's a crime not to drive a Noble!

Best wishes in chosing your replacement.

Sorry to hear that you're selling mate.

What did you end up having done to it in the end, as if i remember rightly you were posting on the US forum re bigger turbos etc?

Well the deal is done and typically the last drive was fantastic. I will really miss it.

If anyone wants some Noble luggage let me know as I have a full set.

looking at the review the new GTR got on top gear tonight - i'm considering moving on too !

it was so quick round the twisty bits that Clarkson hurt his kneck and ended up going off in an ambulance !

it did the lap quicker than an Aerial atom - and quicker than the M15

eek

yes its the new Nissan GTR Skyline

it is huge - but it has 4 seats, and i have a family. Its also hugely quick

i saw one in the flesh at the Isle of Mann this weekend - its not a pretty car but you have to admire the technology in it

faster round the nurburgring than a Maclaren F1 ! and this is an everyday road car which the Maclaren barely was

We looked at Goodwood FOS but the rear leg room was non existant so that was off the list.

It is hugely impressive and Porsche must be thinking "Where the hell did that come from".

lol - you really believe that Clarkson genuinely hurt his neck?

It's not real you know, it's 'TELLY' hehe

PS. People raving about the GT-R but the comparitively 'old skool' Corvette ZR-1 can beat it round the Nurburgring smile
