Was behind one today heading over the pass to Applecross, lovely motor and spat a few flames. Was a wee but jealous sitting in the Skoda...

I know a chap through our local Pistonheads Pub Club who has a blue Noble that's coming up for 100,000 miles, uses it as a daily and can't think what to replace it with. Mind you after I told him about my test drive of a 2013 Gtr I think I may have sown the seeds of a worthy replacement.

I think I've met up with that white one a few times for different meets.

 

Cars in for its MOT now. Fingers crossed they don't break it and it passes.

Yes and he tells me its cost very little to run up to this point.

Went to the Fast Car Festival at the weekend as part of the PH stand over the weekend. Bit of a farce by PH but met a good group of people and managed to once again get myself pretty drunk.

 

Both days had some track time paid for by PH so I took the Noble out for a spin.

 

It's been a while since I took it on track but damn I love it.

 

Running RSR tyres and didn't touch the pressures so they weren't the best after about 10 laps but the turn in is incredible, as you tip it in at a reasonable speed the front just grips and you find you're pushing the throttle harder and it just grips more. The longer wheel base and LSD make it very easy to push the back out if you want to though.

 

Kept an eye on temps and the coolant temp didn't move so just pushed with my eye on the oil temp. I had to have an easy lap after about 5 laps but then could get back on it again.

 

Photo from the day.

Had a bit of a Days of Thunder moment coming out of turn one. This was from 2 cars back. You see how quickly I disappear after the dust

I think that's part of the evora 400 in the foreground.

It's chris that got that track photo too.
