Shame the wife hates them and going by Brian Js advice one should avoid at all costs.

Still would love one though.

Seems Charlene posted on Facebook, but not on here, that Craig has just swapped his 340R for the Noble.

Needless to say he has already ordered new shocks, and planning to take it from the 350hp up to 440 with a re-map on the ECU and new turbo actuators. It already has the larger twin turbos fitted, and he has just discovered that it has an aftermarket ECU that he can map himself via the serial port, with the software that he has just acquired.

Had a week of unusual spots; Lancia Stratos, replica I assume, in Troon on Sunday with full Alitalia livery. BRG e-type series 2 I think parked up at a house outside Dundonald and another probable replica, a Cobra this time passed me at Prestwick Airport midweek.

Proper chop-top 1930s hot-rod, complete with chrome hubcaps and full whitewalls. Proper thunderous V8 soundtrack too

Think ZZ Top but more rat-look

Must be fancy car week in Dundee

Silver Clio V6 at Newbridge Roundabout.

On the list of "must own" cars but after the disappointment with our Clio RS I hope the V6 would be a far better ownership experience.

Having owned a phase 1, I wouldn't bother! Only plus points to it was the noise and looks.
The phase 2 is meant to be better handling wise but im sure it will still try to kill you at every corner.

There is a Clio V6 for sale in Kirkcaldy, the trader next to the old bingo hall on St Clair St

I wouldn't bother with the V6, my 197 is a much better car than my Vee ever was.

Actually that's a lie, the engine note in the V6 was better, but that's it

Rolls Royce Silver Ghost cruising through the streets of Dundee by a couple of tweed-capped bounders...

Looking very shiny in polished bare alloy

Excuse the sh*t pic

He got a job, turns out the clio belongs to his misses and he drives some weird wee jap import min van type thing.

He also tried his best to crash into me.
