Is a Noble more rare than a Lambo

[wessexrfc]

Just been up the my local fuel station at Widdon Down. Messing around with checking tyre pressures etc(if anyone has these that would be great for me to cross reference). In the station was a Bentley convertable, Jag XKR R, R8, Lambo, Ferrari. I went off to pay, came back to find the car surrounded by spotty dudes taking pics. They where looking at the others but not in the same way(if that makes sense). PS sorry to the Ferrari driver who followed me and not the other group!!!!

I was told the other day by a young person of the male persuasion that my car was 'sick'. I believe that means it's good.

I keep coming out of shops to find chav's taking photo's,espically Asda.

I get the mobile phone out of corsa's all the time. I always give them a wave and then the big one and blast past. Seems to fill their lives full of glee!

I would swear its the big "halfrauds" spoiler stuck on the back that attracts them like flys to poo

Lady at my local petrol stop asked me if it was a "Fandango" earlier this week.

I told her "I couldn't afford a real Fandango" and the guy paying at the next till nearly choked on his crisps.

You park your Nob in an Chasda car park!!!!!!!!

Coming home Saturday evening I saw a flash in the rear view mirror and there was a hatchback nearly in the back clam with 2 (very nice) young females taking pictures. Paparazzi!!!!

I tend to take the Noble for granted and then when you get someone taking photos or video on their phone you realise just how lucky you are.

They do get looks wherever you go and most people assume its an italian supercar. I love telling them its nailed together in a Leicester shed.......and that it's one of Jeremy Clarksons favourite cars.

Agree on the spoiler.

Get the pictures all the time and NEVER with malice (as you might see with a Ferarri or Porsche).

Since about four years ago I'm happy parking the Noble just about everywhere EXCEPT supermarkets; I had to go to a work leaving do in Stevenage "leisure Park" once. Looked out of the window every but couldn't see the car, after a few minutes I walked out to check it and the car was SURROUNDED by "younger people in leisure wear" who were all looking, taking photos and basically being great about the car. When they asked if it was mine and I said "yes" we sat and chatted for 10 minutes all very friendly. Basically they guarded it for me.

Sorry don't know how to post a picture :-(

There's any upload an image option above the text box that makes things easier now.

Yes...and more desirable too

[art411y]

look in the classified 92 gallardo and murchelago (if thats how they are spelt) for sale compared to only 11 nobles.So i would say much rarer .i dont know why but had the car at a few shows and definately attracted more interest than a lambo

[dudleybloke]

well iv only seen 3 or 4 noble's on the road but even here in the black county there's a fair few raging bulls!

The only people who might hate them (and when they do it seems comes down to the looks)couldn't possibly have driven one.I don't know anyone who has had a bad word about them afterwards!

Great comments, love it. "Slick" have'nt heard that one yet. Does anyone else get that feeling, as you are approaching your car “o god he’s looking at my car-please move away so I don’t have to engage in some innate conversation about engine, horse power, how much bla bla bla” or is it just me??? I don’t mine “swinging-dick” (lets face it that what we’ve got a nob for) but I find myself cringing as I walk towards them. I had a RAC man stop me once as I was just about to walk into a shop and proceeded to ask me hundred and one questions about the car, I found I had to just walk away, he didn’t seem to mine as I was saying “yea, yea, that’s right, yea thanks, yea cheers, got to go, cheers (still talking) yea lots to do(still talkimg) cheers, byeeeee” Bless em bless them All P.S I love it all really lol
