At the moment only got these on my phone.

So not the best. Was hoping when the weather is better to get photos of the two together but need to find the time and then find a location! Problem is driving two cars there!!

Yup. They love me.

Interestingly it costs me £50 extra in my yearly premium to park it in a garage compared to leaving it on the street.

Then I wanted to insure my other half on it, but no one would insure someone who had only just passed their test!

So ended up buying a Ford Focus for her. Which interestingly with me as the main driver and her as a named driver is more expensive to insure than my Noble!

After 2 years I can finally get her insured on the Masser. As this the min. required. Though the majority flat out refused us.

Used to be with Admiral multi car, but now I have too many modifications on the Noble and they have refused to insure me anymore. So all the cars are now under separate underwriters. As you can imagine when it comes to renewals I spend about 1 week on the phone trying to sort it out with 3 cars!

It is an absolute nightmare. But all worth it as soon as I get driving.
