Question Noble M12

anyone here got one, or had any experience of one?

Thinking (just thinking) of possibly getting one early next year, wonder what they are like to live with on a day to day basis?

Neil

my friend has one, the staright line speed is pretty fast, although the accelaration is not mind blowing. The handleing is out of this world!!!!! It just keeps on gripping. you can drive it very hard and be confident it wont spin out on you

They're not that reliable apparently, similar to TVR's. Tend to spend fair amount of time in a garage being worked on. Saying that though if I could afford one I'd do it ...

Was considering buying one a while back, but a mate of mine who has one says you always need to carry a fire extinguisher and an umbrella... apparently you'll need one or both every time you drive it..... shame because I was really horned up over it at the time his subsequently caught fire, think he turned it in to some carrier bags or something equally useful
