Long distance driving in a Nobley

[hollowpockets]

Hopefully will be taking the car to the Nurburgring in may/june and maybe to LeMan's or a scoot round the alps.

Im curious as to how others have got on doing some big miles, how the cars have handled it, the heat and breakdowns if any, also what is do-able in terms of preventing/reducing the likelyhood of problems occuring.

edited to add - i've come from a TVR so perhaps wrongly anticipated problems

Cheers

Only issue I've ever had with long distance stuff is luggage space to be honest. If you're by yourself that's a non issue too.

I went for 2 weeks on a Euro hoon with my daughter and ended up in the south of france and had no real issues with mine... even though the ecu was sick.

did a 14hr straight drive home as well and she didnt even want to get out of the car at petrol stops which just shows how comfy it was.

Space is tight but i have the luggage kit and have to say its amazing how much you can fit in the car, we both had laptops and everything u would usally take on a 2 week holiday.

Done Bilbao to Marbella (650 miles) a few times with no problems (once in 7 hrs 15 mins )

Also did Marbella to Bordeaux (750 miles) in a day, then Bordeaux to Le Mans (400 miles) the next day...got out fresh as a daisy

Regulary do Euro tours with the missus. Helps being short as with the runners moved forwards it means there's more room behind the seat. Helmets are a pain, so if you're going to Spa , the Ring etc get a friend to take yours!

I did Le Mans twice this year and a trip to the ring without any problem. The seats feel a bit hard after a while, but the distance was not a problem

In July I went to the Ring and in August I did a trip down to the Pyranees, French Riviera and then back thru the Alps. The car was totally reliable.

I have half a Noble luggage set which I used, but also carried backpacks. Wife and I went for 10 days and had plenty of space. Also took my laptop and carried bags for my friends who were on motorbikes.

I highly recommend taking your Noble around the Pyranees.
