Well, after 18 months it looks like time to get rid of the Nob, one last outing this weekend to Le Mans and put it up for sale.
Had a lot of fun in it and never regretted a minute of ownership.

Times are hard......LOL

Well, I cant be arsed to do the upgrades the car deserves, LSD, etc etc. I think the Merc has spoiled me, I really enjoy that and find myself taking it out more than the Nob.

Hi Andy,
have just made the same decision myself after 8 years of ownership,have
only done 11,000 mls and only 700 in the last year and has never been
driven to its full potential.
My daughter wants to expand her Dance and Theatre Arts Academy business
so proceeds from the sale would be put to better use, rather than the car
sitting in the garage for another year without being used.
Written with a tear in my eye.

You wouldnt feel like that with the upgrades it changes the car.

best of luck with your new cars / ventures

i reckon you will be back

I spoke to NickyTwohats this week and he misses his Nob badly

He said the GTR is a great car but he is getting to be a lazy driver becasue it drives itself round bends

he will get a noble again in the future

i still love drving mine when i get the chance, the niggles the cars have are just an excuse to modify them IMHO

Well boys, I'm back from Le Mans and after 800 miles. the Nobs going nowhere at present.
She went perfectly and attracted the usual attention.

There were also 2 Ginetta's there which look quite interesting, no idea on their performance etc but look good

Simon, The guiness bar was crap, Norwegian bar was good, surprising what you can get up to when you are dressed as a surgeon
