Hi Guys,
I'm me, this is my car...a modified Noble M12 GTO 3R.











Martin.

It's awesome... but I hate to break it to you... people will want proof.

Yeah, we've had enough experiences with kids posting up Ferraris that weren't theirs to just say "good show". But even if you are lying, you chose a good car to lie about, the Noble is awesome

Good luck quieting the naysayers.

Welcome. Cool car. As per forum policy, please post a photo of your car with a sign reading "b00st is a douche". Thank you.

Ha ha...you can come and check me out on Pistonheads.com in the Noble section...no probs

Martin

PS - anyone in Uxbridge want to verify my authenticity?

You can come check out my new Ferrari F2008 at the British GP.

PS - Hey Felipe, want to verify my authenticity?


But for real...just take a pic of a sign that says Dieselstation or b00st is a douche with the car so we won't doubt you.

Lol the pics do look a bit TOO perfect. Even my friend's Noble pics aren't THAT perfect.

Jeez, you guys are tough!

If someone can read the exif from the photo they'll confirm the it was taken only a few minutes ago...my neighbours now think I'm a nutter!



Martin.

"b00st is a douche" required for nice cars. Sorry I don't write the rules.

Edit: Good job, nice car!

Edit #2: We should probably start a b00st is a douche thread, where we post up all of the verification pics.

Alright well done Jenx!

So, the question is...how fucking awesome is the Noble M12 GTO? You ever hit the track in it? Is it really as comfy on the road as everyone says? Etc. etc. etc.

RideWithG,

Thanks for the left handed compliment...all those were taken in or near Marbella in Spain where I lived for 2 years (had my retirement in the middle when I could enjoy it )

I stayed in Marbella for a week or so. Beautiful city.

Is it ok if I pretend you're Jenson Button?

You know... the whole Jenx/Jenks thing.

Unfortunately there are only 2 or 3 User's Rides that really require the proof.

"Gee fiber optic you drive a F-150? Time to post that sign pic fool!"

As awsome as it gets (fastest recorded 0-60 for a standard car is 3.3 secs), I've done several, but Spain is one big track , it's a lot more comfy than an Ultima but not as good as a Bently

that's great, what a nice car. i'm up in the air about the color though, whatever. it's still a champ

It's awesome that you proved it, and even more awesome that you have a car that does 60 in 3.3. Very, very well done. Welcome!

Very nice car. Please tell me if you'll ever come to the Ring with it.


Good idea.

Finally someone with a sweet car that actually owns that sweet car. Welcome!

And I 3rd the aforementioned "b00st is a douche" pic thread

That's awesome man. Congrats on the sexy car. The Noble is extremely awesome.

No problem Wow those are indeed beautiful pics though. Welcome!!! Great ride!...any mods on yours?

wow... what a nice car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you are getting the coolest car award of these forums!

I don't care!

Nice ride mate. I think there's only 1 in AUS, and one day I will own it!!!!

I'm drooling.

Very nice Noble. Couple nice photos as well. Welcome.

Your Nobel has the same engine block my cougar had. Duratecs are awesome!

Wow, cool car.

(I'd take a pic of my car w/ a sign if said thread is made.)

Turn the volume up

Nice roads! Good to see you're having fun with it (why the hell else would you buy a Noble)

What a spirited drive. Certainly looked like you had loads of fun there.

Beautiful vid. It's really hard to get a sense of speed from a video, but that actually LOOKS quick, which means that it's probably mind-blowingly fast. And the overtaking...god, it's like instantaneous.

Looks like the video was taken with a bit of zoom which gives a better view on the road but makes it looking slower than the car actually is. Hope you don't mind my words, Jenx.

For instance I've taken this onboard video with slight wide-angle and it matches the speed sensation when I'm sitting in the car quite nicely, IMHO.

I want to move to Spain...now.

That was a lot quicker than it looks...right on the limit of taking risks. On the way up the mountain I was with 2 Fireblades, 2 R1s and a Gixxer Thou...I left them for dead.

I think you and SpeedyK should have a race through the Alps...

Yes please!

I've only once seen sportbikes being ridden with any sort of speed on a twisty road and that was at the Nordschleife. Every other time I am on a mountain road I am quicker in my really slow car. Unless the rider is really really good, there is almost no cornering speed. Just an observation.

hahahaha its so fucking funny that people still do the boost is a douche sign.

This is the coolest car on DS by a mile! If only i had $80k to blow on a toy

$80k? Surely they're more than that...?

I think $80k is the number i saw on one of the programs on speed channel. Also, i believe these are rebaged nobels changed to pass US safely laws. I believe you buy the chassis from them and then put whatever engine you like yourself.

Yeah, Rossion used to be 1g Racing. You buy the chassis from them and then have the drivetrain built through someone else (they have a reccomended list of builders who build them to Noble spec) and then mate them later and they're certified as kit cars.

I say you gotta prove it. I'll bet your real ride is a Chevy Colorado.

I'd prove that I really own a MkIV Jetta, but my sorority sisters stole my digital camera.

With a few extras I paid £57k in September '04 (Brand new to my spec. from dealer)

Martin.

Yeah, definitely over $80k. Even in '04 the exchange rate would've put it more like $100k-ish.

UK prices and US prices are not equivalent. $80k USD sounds about right for an M12.

Really? I thought they'd be quite a bit more. Learned something new.

both of those videos were awesome!

I think the $80k is for the car without an engine.

Martin.
