    Haha, yea.. i should have just gone 100 in the parking lot, hit the speed bump, cleared the lovely hedge by the sidewalk and been on my way!

    I'll keep the F50 at my pad. Yellow would liven up the city.. er. my garage a bit.

    I might be able to get you a good deal on an M400. And I'll help you get the car built right.

    3R???? Not sure what that is....but that converitlble looks kinda cute...given some smoothing, bigger side intakes w/split, ease-up on the rear spoiler, groove some curves on the front....fix the headlights into 1-piece...could really have been something!!!!!!

    No air on the way home huh?....Uhh....how about air on the way there????

    The car I have is a Noble M12 GTO 3R, full birth name. M12 for short, or 3R for short, when distinguishing between this car and the M400 (there are 2 variants as described above - PAY ATTENTION :D ) Before the 3R and M400 was the M12 GTO 3 which didnt have the faired headlights, had a 2.5 liter vs 3.0 liter and a 5 spd vs 6spd. Car wasnt really meant to be a showy car. Kinda like BMW didnt make an M7.

    I got light on the way up trying to catch up to the pack after shoelacing Aarons car back together - 150 on the 15!!! But my only air was during a planned run on the 5 mile straight.

    not to pee on the parade but you are forgetting the all important SB100 for registration. they go fast and CA is trying to do away with them, for now it gets voted down.

    Is it just me....or does it sorta resemble a Toyota MR2 on steroids?

    All joking aside, it's a pretty interesting car...I hope the future brings more and more options to us speed-addicted consumers!

    With that top, it reminds more of CARRERA GT. I like the convertible. I hope they make it. But aren't they concentrating all efforts on the M15?

    Yeah, the convertible M12 is no longer being considered.

    SB100 is not necessary to register the car in CA, so I'm unsure of your voting. It passes smog just fine. The vast majority of people try to get the SB100 number because that means they'll never have to get the car smogged.

    Do you ever get tired of people asking "what is that???"

    How often do people think it's a "kit" car?

    What's the 0-60 on it again????

    Since it's English, how did they integrate the manditory oil leak into the design?

    Between Britney Spears and Britney Murphy....which one would you hit?

    (yes, it relates to the issue at hand.....it's a Brit-thang!:))

    Britney Murphy all the way. Spears is a horse
