Do you drive your Noble in the Rain

[Gadgeroonie]

are you a fair weather driver ?

[snuffy]

The day I picked mine up you could see an Ark on the horizon it was that wet !

[nigelw]

couldn't find a box that fully covered it , so said yes ! ...but I try not to get it wet but if I really want go somewhre in it I will do , but I am also very wary of pushing it too hard in the wet (probably need some new tyres as well ) as its had about three goes at killing me !....wish I could have owned it since new and kept it as dry as it sounds like Jenx has (well until recently ) .... makes me wonder whether to get Pirelli corsas and just take the view that if it rains I'll tiptoe home !

I voted Yes as well as there was no "YES - Then get the aqua vac out to suck out all the water from the carpets when I get home" - Response

[Gadgeroonie]

[Adrian W]

So what tyres do you recommend for best all weather performance?

I try not to go out if is wet, but sometimes you just get caught in it when you are returning home.

I am still on the original tyres on this car but on my Exige I had the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3 and they were pretty good all round, better than the Yokahama A048 in the wet, that was exciting

I used to take it out in the rain but haven't really done so for the last two years. First because it was getting a bit older and I wanted to give TLC and then because i got the GTR which is a scream in the wet :-)

[Gadgeroonie]

what happens if you give the GTR full beans in the wet off a roundabout ?

oooo nooo missus....never drive her in the rain, I remember the only time drove my car in the wet was driving it home from its last service..... When I opened the clams 2 days later I could have cried, it looked like fecking bonfire night under there! Did my OCD no good whatsoever.

Seriously though, as with the TVRs I've had in the past, cosmetically this type of car soon deteriorates if used in all weathers IMHO.

So dry days only for me!

[arabian]

I prefer not to. The reason i fell out of love with my 911 is because it became a daily driver even in the rain. I dont want that to happen to the noble. save it for dry days and/or special events (rain or shine) then each drive is special.

Plus, a bit of rain on the way to yorkshire at the weekend and the car looked a disgrace and took 3 hours to clean - and that was without attacking the engine bay which will take ages and is not for the feint hearted !!

[Gadgeroonie]

anyone got any tips on how to keep under the clams clean
