rantingYoof Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 You have firmly won at life when the colour of your actual V8 engine matches the colour of your SUMPTUOUS LEATHER INTERIOR!  A video of you chirping the V8 would be put on repeat; I've been told they have quite a characteristic burble.

dome Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I congratulate you on your purchase of a Noble M600 tourer.  Some folk will say it's not autoshite, screw 'em!  I look forward to your thoughts on it?

Slartibartfast Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Â Â Â Â However, I take issue with the below:Â Â Er, no! I think he meant due to the MPG figures. I think it's something like 24MPG quoted, which means even less in the real world (especially the way I drive). Supernaut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Badger Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Do they still make that engine or is the new S90 only available with 18 different versions of the 2-litre diesel? It was only available with the diesels unfortunately, I did ask them and then felt sad at the reply from the sales droid. They have pez engines now, all based on the same 2 litre block, nothing as glorious as the V8 now.

Slartibartfast Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Some folk will say it's not autoshite, screw 'em! I get that, but I'd counter that by saying it's 11 years old, and on paper makes no sense at all. There's no reason at all to buy one of these instead of an equivalent BMW, Merc or Audi, and so no one did. So it's an oddity. Buying one as a daily driver is utterly mental and I'm still not sure I haven't made a choice I'm going to massively regret, but hey, you only live once.
