Hello all,

Just back from long road trip Utah to Texas where I bought a 2014 with only 6k miles.

Absolutely beautiful drives in places through Utah, Colorado & then New Mexico and the car performed flawlessly.







Here is a couple of pictures

Ha, carbon copy of mine externally... Except the fuchs. I wanted to do that too so it would match my 1972 (also white, with fuchs, and the porsche stripe). Then I saw the price of Fuchs and decided to invest in a small mine in congo instead ;-)

I like how it looks, but thanks to your lovely pics, I love it but still not enough to want to buy them (again)... Good looking cars - the Noble is cool too. Enjoy !

Thanks for your comments. It is a great car to drive.

I'm not sure about the wheels to be honest and they maybe up for sale soon. Still on the fence about it.

Very nice! Have I seen your Noble at the Woodlands Cars and Coffee event? Not too many of those around H-Town.

I'm there with you. On th efence. Not going one way or another... I LOVE the fuchs design, it's historically THE wheel for old porsches, and I think they look fantastic on aircooled 911s.

Seeing your car (and I'm not being an a$$ here because I wanted to buy a set like yours) I fear that they don't match the "modern" look of the car as much as I hoped.
They are great wheels and light, and pretty - but yeah I think I'd put a modern looking wheel instead. In any case your pictures saved me a fortune ;-) imagining is one thing, seeing for real is another... The anniversary wheels somehow pulled it off for me though, must be the paint scheme- maybe go less shiny and RSR frosted finish ?
