Apparently the numbers are in rapid decline.

Some believe its due to mobile phone radio waves.

And I think it was Einstein who predicted that when there are no more bees, the world will end

Why can't we just kill wasps. I have no issue with bees.

Noble, no question.

It's a league above the Lotus, it's all the Exige is, and more.

Reliability is good, handling is phenomenal, and gets better the better you drive it (so rewards good driving) and it's the only road car I've spent a full day tracking without brake fade or mechanical failure.

From your list: Exige S but not that great day-to-day.

Noble's are fast and handle well, but the interior was made by Stevie Wonder...

I didn't think it was all THAT bad when I drove one on the track - a bit kit-car-ish but then that's in essence what it is.

It certainly wouldn't put me off buying one (and I did look when I sold the S2000 - but they were still just a few

about the interior being not that bad, certainly no better or worse than the Lotus. It's functional and it works for the type of car it is.

But the Noble's not a kit car, in essence or any other sense. No more than say a Lotus is (both glassfibre over a tub and spaceframe arrangement).
