    Saw the Noble at Carlise, it was a great looking car, well engineered and top materials. It comes only as a turnkey minus, and base price of US$ 53,000.

    ideas wanted

    After spending the day drinking water - it was hot and this is how I lose the "holiday" weight - Bills suggestion for a WC is very, very important!!! But I disagree with his idea of a pit - had one and it was not a flexable as my lift.
