Noble is a terrible car.

Looked at the 3R when I bought the evo. 1 years warranty, built of plastic, difficult to drive, no room. Quick(ish) but I recon the stats given are a bit optomistic, but then isnt every car, are starting to look a bit old nowadays.

Get in it and drive it like you drive an evo/scoob and youll end up in a hedge about 300 yards up the road!!!

Nah, not a sensible choice that one spikey - new skyline mate, that looks like being a stonker. Save your

Enter(in an american accent like presenting a boxing match)

"Still from the darkside Welcooooome the stooooooooorm troooooper" 8)

Not even got its boots dirty yet 8)

Each to their own Poesy...I personally loved it 8) As any HP Car you have good/bad stories...most of my research has seen a reliable car and a few as everyday cars?

Same as the 400 you either love em or hate em.

As for looking dated...maybe.... but U dont see enough of them to think about dated.

It will be a weekender / fun car...as for ending up in a hedge!! :shock: Probably :lol: ...I will be doing few training / 1 on 1 tuition days...About time I let the electronics go and went "mano et machino" :lol:
