Re: Where do you go from a ’40?

After selling my KVA last year, I now have a Noble M12 GT0 3.
It has been breathed on a bit, and has over 400 bhp, and weighs under 1000kgs and this makes it very exciting to drive. As a 2 year old car, costing well under £30k, it was also cheaper than most of the 40's on the market.

My 40 certainly wasn't the best, so it is rather unfair to compare it to the Noble, and I'm sure that some of the better 40's out there might be as good as the Noble, so I'm certainly not saying that 'Nobles are better than 40's' - just that MY Noble is better as a car to drive than MY 40 was!

I do agree with Charles's point though, that there is something special about driving a 40, which isn't repeated in other cars, however good they are.

I'm ashamed to say that I haven't ventured onto the track with it yet, partly orders from the boss! , and partly due to other commitments following a house move, but I will do it soon!
