Another glorious car I was made aware of thanks to Project Gotham Racing 2.

Had a buddy with one of these (m400) that was pretty modified(theres a place here in the SF bay area that tunes them)... It was a absolute rocketship..would get wheelspin at 65mph on the freeway. Rode in it on a few trackdays, where it would easily pass most every exotic on the track, partly because my friend is a grand am pro driver.

^ thats him sliding it for a Sport Compact Car Magazine(rip) photoshoot.

Unfortunately, it was a piece of crap and had loads of issues. I was sad when he sold it a few years ago.

I actually used to see Noble’s fairly often when I lived in London 2004-05. Here’s an M12 that I saw on Halloween in 2004, and the back of an M400 from the May 14, 2005 Gumball 3000 start. We didn’t have cell phone cameras back then, so that’s all I’ve got. One of these days I’ll have to do a dump of all of the car photos from the Canon Digital Elph that I carried around there.

Duuuuuuude this brings back memories.

PGR2 was the game that was bundled with my XBox 360 when I bought it new. I didn’t know how good/bad the game was, but it was a racing game so of course I chose that bundle.

Turned out to be the only game I completed multiple times (in different levels of difficulty). The Noble (M400?) was the car I started with :)

Then my XBox bricked itself. Twice. And I had to throw it out :/
