I'm a man of wealth and taste...obviously if I've bought a Noble......(Note; those are Rolling Stones lyrics for those of you who are too young, No not the Noble bit stupid)
Just collected my M400 this afternoon so I thought I would say hello. I've been following the forum almost religiously for a few months and trawled the archives including tracing a previous owner so many thanks for all the information I've gleaned and hope to contribute where I can.
It wasn't the best weather for a first drive but dried up enough for a while to get some excitement before the rain returned.
Have followed the Elise, Exige to Noble path and just felt like I have grown up but I'm not sure that will really ever happen.
Anyway thanks again

It's bigger, it's faster, it looks better and it sounds better!
Don't get me wrong I loved the Exige. It's funny that the Noble can combine a more race like feel but remain solid. Scratch the surface and some of the parts are a bit cheap looking compared to some nice alloy extrusions from Lotus but I guess that is economies of scale.
Because of my cautious drive home I was a bit underwhelmed but then realised that if you put your foot to the floor rather than gradually pushing down things happen differently!! The throttle pedal does have a longer throw to it.

Hi Sundance
Have been following your story with some interest as I was after your car, well that may be too strong but I rang the dealer to arrange an inspection and they don't get to excited as somebody is coming today to have a look and they called back to say they/you had bought it. I only hated you for a few days and am now so happy with mine. Just got back from a 120 mile spin and s
t it moves!

, so now ur over hating me you can enjoy all this sunny weather. They are very quick just make sure you allow at least 15 to 20 min to get up to temp before giving any revs dont take mine above 2500 til my oil temp reaches 85. Gassing Station | Noble | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
