A couple of nights ago I was parked (badly) in a carpark waiting for the other half, it was pouring down and a Noble M12 stopped close by and the driver snapped my 968 without getting out and then drove off. Obviously they didn't want to stop and chat about cars as they were probably bubbling to themself and it wouldn't have been cool! Definitely not a night for caning it, in either car! My Winter Blues item definitely hit a sore spot for some of us recently. And so it goes on! Roll on Summer....but not a Scottish one!

Hate to sound like a rube, but what do you mean by caning?

I really like Noble. Wish they were more available here. I think about setting my sights on one all the time. Theyre not terribly expensive. If your 968 is stock, I doubt you wouldve had much chance. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Caning = "Pushing the boat out", as in "Aye, we're pushing the boat out now!"

Pushing the boat out in the UK = spending $, example:-



"Lord Camden, Earl of Roebuck was delighted to get his tiresome daughter, Paris, married off and spent hundreds of thousands on the nuptials - he really pushed the boat out...."
