they are awesome cars my mate had an m12 mondeo v6 twin turbo motor, went very well indeed, he kept fucking the gearbox up in it though, not sure if it was the 5 speed or the 6speed as i think they chnaged to 6 speed in the later models! he drove his everyday for 12 months and think it went in 3 times for gearbox issues did around 8-10k miles in it then sold it and got a tvr he wishes he kept the noble

my sisters ex had one, spent most of its time at noble, 3 months to do a clutch lol, then it had a major water problem so more time at noble, and just constant faults, but when it did work it was an awsome car, he px it against a lotus elise as he had enough of the faults on the noble

pretty good, most bits are from other cars anyways i think he never had any issues, servicing can be expensive though

Look at the jealous people hiding behind the tags!!!

I am sorry for being a petrolhead with money to buy some average cars

Its one nasty world we live in thats for sure!!!

Or maybe people have noticed that all your posts seem to be very, how can I put it, 'needy'.

I laughed at the tags, and I'm not jealous of you in the slightest. I just think you come across as someone who's incredibly ego-centric.

wouldnt worry about it Phil.

you've worked hard to earn the cars etc

what happend to your ferrari?

RC4

what happened to the 360 idea?
why dont you sell them all and get a gallardo superlegga?

..mate it dont bother me nowadays i am far too chilled its nice in a way as it obviously annoys some.

The F-Car i sold to buy rainbirds reshelled Saff that i later had to break for spares..BUT this isnt the forum to go into that


RC4 the 360 is too wide for my garage, it would go in but i couldnt get outShame as i was seriously contemplating AJ's.....i would have to get the drop top version so i can jump out but after the trader asked what the fuck i want with a 360 with a merc like that its sorta made me wonder wether i should plough 40+ k in an inferior car!!!!! LOL So i am looking for a cheaper alternative:

Noble
M3 CSL
355 F1
ETC ETC

I am not prepared to sell up everything for one car.

my brother had a couple of elises and wanted to swop for a noble but the dealer that sold lotus and noble wouldent sell him one. and said they were getting rid of the franchaise because they gave him a bad name with his customers. so he bought a vx220 turbo

Noble is 1 cool as fuck car. Great looking, fast and the "god" clarkson loves them! They have a bad rep for reliability. Ask the 'Bird!


I don't agree.

So what if he can afford a nice car and wants advice? Some people on this forum have the cars he has suggested so fuck knows why people wanna be cocks about it. Plenty other cocks on this forum that you can go out and call a cock so it doesnt always have to be Phil

DanW@FastFord

Just posting as I see it. Have nothing personal against Phil, and my comment wasn't based on the cars he drives.

He suggested people were hiding behind tags, so I didn't.

Its well known that nobles are excellent track cars, after all the same man worked on the McLaren F1 chassis as well as the Radical which holds the nurburg fastest lap to this day. The fact they are mostly built of mondeo just makes them easier to work with, also you can fit powertrain parts like the LSD from a mk1 focus RS, as it shares the same box.

...are Nobles just unreliable then if tracked? What about as a road car for the "look at me factor"

Dan/haters understand ONE thing i have to take benzo's to leave the fucking house....do you actually understand what that could be like....its YOUR worst fucking nightmare PAL....So laugh at my misfortune instead of my love for fast cars/bikes.

Love nobles, don't know much about them but they're built in a shed in Leicester (I think) so I can't see it being very reliable tbh.

If you've made a good living for yourself then good luck to you mate. I know if i was in your position i would probably be the same. Whats the point of working hard and reaping the benefits but not spending your money for fear of being branded a show off or "ego-centric".

You got aggrophobia???

At least with a fast car you can get away from any threats!!

Benni

Fact of the matter is, if Phil was posting about buying an XR2i no-one would be claiming look at me, no matter how much he spoke about it. But because he can and chooses to buy shuch nice cars, should he keep quiet? No!

Benni.

danneth

theres other people who post on here imo who crave the attention alot more with cars/holidays but nothing is ever said there phil seems alright to me

R5FORD

iTrader: (1)

phil is cool.. just jealousy gets the better of some people..

im sure if 99% of the people on here could afford a Ferrari they would be asking which one etc

Physio

Exactly! Phil's worked hard for what he's got and he doesn't come across like suggested above at all imo.

He's got some nice cars, fair play to him

As for the tags, I'm seriously considering making them so everyone can see who's posted which tag, I might even do it and not announce it - now that would be funny

R5FORD

iTrader: (1)

do itttt

Benni

You should do it, just to embarress the jealous haters, who never had the balls to make their thoughts public. These are the same people who are on all the 'Scam' threads claiming they'd have been round there already. If you can't say your piece behind your computer, you're fucked I reckon.

way cooler than a noble but no idea if it will fit in your garage

...getting closer to my decision

I think it should just be setup so that as you hover over a tag it tells you what username posted it.

To have anonymous slagging off on a moderated forum doesnt make a great deal of sense really.

Its good for humour most of the time, but I dont see why that would change if the anonymity was removed anyway.

I had a mondeo with a YB engine in it on a mondeo gearbox, so the potential must surely exist to fairly easily put a YB into a Noble, that would be a cool thing to do if you could find one cheap with a blown engine
