Can you tell these two apart?
and
because some people obviously can't! I was stood next to the GTR at the Wilton House event on Sunday, when a little boy pointed to it and said "Dad, that's my favourite" to which his dad replied "That son, is a Noble". I couldn't help laughing, but it was probably just as well Nick was out of earshot.
Unfortunately I didn't get to speak to the Noble owner, anyone on here? I have to say it did look perfectly at home amongst the other exotica (IMO that colour really suits it), showing that you don't need to spend over £million to have something special.

It's a shame that when you upload a new version of a photo to flickr it doesn't keep the same URL or for a giggle I'd have sneakily swapped one of those for a shot of the Mosler 
(I spotted from my flickr stats that one of my photos had popped up on this forum)
Yes that would have been funny, even though I'd look like an idiot. (I spotted from my flickr stats that one of my photos had popped up on this forum
)I hope you don't mind me using your pics, it's just that I needed two with the same orientation and background. Unfortunately I didn't have many of my own to choose from as, having spent most of the morning videoing, I rather enjoyed wandering around without a camera in front of my face.

- I take photos out of enjoyment of photography and punt 'em up on flickr for others to look at on the off chance someone else enjoys looking at 'em . (*)I don't think my knees were best pleased at me getting all those fairly low shots of the procession - I was hobbling about like an old man for about 10 minutes after it finished and had a lovely grass stain on my knee (but it was worth it
).(*) the only thing I'd get a bit grumpy about is someone downloading copies off flickr rather than linking and then using somewhere and not attributing me (or commercial use without asking first), tho' I'm always happy for the owners of any cars I photograph to nick a copy to do with what they wish.

Its a great well sorted car. Nice pic he will like that.
The colour really works well on it . If he wants the full res picture he can grab it here (click on "all sizes" and then "original"). I also got a shot of the west tuning decal from the back.Skaffen said:

Worth it though as you got some good shots.).Anyone know what Dean has done to his car? I managed to video one of his starts at the Gurston hillclimb ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n7qI-kDhJ8 ) and I'd be interested in what he made of it. I don't know if he timed his run, but it would be good to compare as Phil reckoned that he'd have been quicker in the Noble than the FGT (as long as he didn't bin it

). What a great day out that was, i have never had the oppertunity to mix it up with so much exotica before....probably never will again either. What a sight it was to see all those cars on the road together at the same time...it was quite an experience. And to top it off, it was all put on for a great cause As for the car, HP wise not that much as been done. the car has benefitted from a Roush exhaust and a custom re map (although, new Hybrid turbos are waiting to go on as the currents are past their best). Full track spec suspension has been fitted with corner weight set up, and some nice sticky rubber on all four corners. The brakes are now grooved discs and Pagid RS29 pads all round. so far, this is all working nicely on the track.
As for the hill climb. sadly i did not record any times (and being a numpty, i totally forgot to set up my in car camera) but one of the course instructors jumped in the passenger seat as he fancied a blast up the hill....he was more than surprised with its performance
you could really fling the car into the 1st tight right handers, there was plenty of grip, and then you have the torque on the exit to pull you up the hill...good fun. Was my 1st ever hill climb and actually enjoyed it more than i thought i would. The only problem is that its all over so quickly.How did the FGT get on?? It must have only just fitted on the tarmac, the course was pretty damn narrow after all. were you in the black or blue one?? Either way, they both looked great
Skaffen, thanks for taking the shots....i might have to steal them from you
your photography skills are defo better than mine. DeanoM12 said:

We were in the blue one. Yes it was a bit narrow and bumpy, as can be seen in the video (I didn't have a camera mount What a great day out that was, i have never had the oppertunity to mix it up with so much exotica before....probably never will again either.

) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8YUYBlAHGc I think Phil was reasonably pleased with his time of 39 secs (as he hadn't done the course before either), but reckons he would have been faster in the Noble by a couple of seconds. It's a pity you didn't time your run as it would have been interesting to compare. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take the Noble as well as it was deemed to be 'not special enough'. I was rather disappointed at first, but completely understood when I saw yours in orange, as it does look rather understated in blue - and I doubt Phil would have been happy for me to have a blat up the course either. Fingers crossed the event will be run again next year and you'll be flying the flag for the Nobility.
