Husky Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 so my mate with his old banged up mx5 has chucked it for somethign different and all i can say is im bloody jealous i spent a fair few hours helping him keep the mx5 alive and on the road, i hope i get the chance to help with this one... whats more frustrating is his insurance is only 500 quid for the year and hes 24, wtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Fantastic car! Insurance is damn cheap?! Goodluck to him! Did he test drive an Atom or anything before choosing this or was it a random purchase? (BTW - this will make your zed feel slow after you've had a ride). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V88 REG Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 If u had the money i would sell mine and buy one of these in an instant. Track car for the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 nah hes the kind of guy that doesn't put much thought into it. its the normal: i fancy this car but for another 2k i can get this, but for a further 2k i can get this... until he has a noble he says hes always wanted a noble so i doubt hes looked at anything else just informed me hes off for a drive, what a b**tard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maccaman Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 For those of you who remember Little Miss she said the Noble was her ultimate car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Nobles are surprisingly cheap to insure. They were cheaper to insure than an R34 or my S/C Z I'd love one, just not as much as a Z or R34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were cheaper to insure than an R34 or my S/C Z I'd love one, just not as much as a Z or R34 would have to be as a second car really though which he now has a bike and a noble... i dont think hes thought this through, as per usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Someone has to ask. How much did he pay??? and Would you let him join the Wales run even though it's not a zed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 next weekend i think i get a ride round but i think i'd be worried about putting it in a wall having a go myself i dont know exactly how much but apparently 10k more than he had i would love to see it against the SC zeds but i dont think its allowed on the wales run. i did ask him about a camping trip round scotland though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Prices don't seem too bad compared to other cars with same performance and head turning ability - around £20k - £35k according to PistonHeads. Expensive if you don't use it a lot though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 My nephew has a noble, and an old m3 and a merc ml and did have a boxter too but I think that's gone now... Next time over there I will try and get some pics of them and the Z side by side. I've been a passenger in the Noble, which he takes on regular track days and wow is it quick. Reallynot my cup of tea looks wise though looks like it should only be on a track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Nobles are surprisingly cheap to insure. They were cheaper to insure than an R34 or my S/C Z Probably to do with R34's being high on the liftage list by those that are less than honest. Really not my cup of tea looks wise though looks like it should only be on a track It looks fast standing still. Not that I've ever seen one parked, they're always blatting along the motorway.
