Make sure you check out the “Reviews” section of the site. There’s a report on the Volkswagen “Projet R GT” concepts we’ve just wrapped up.

The piece on Noble Cars should be proofread by this weekend. (Post New-Year’s Celebrations notwithstanding.) Look for it next week.

The inaugural meeting of the Noble Owners’ Club will be held at Brands Hatch race circuit in the UK on January 29th, 2006 and promises to showcase the largest gathering of Noble-related products ever seen

Incorporated this month, the NOC is the first official club to represent the 900 owners around the world and has full support from the Noble factory. It is open to both current and prospective Noble owners, offering a range of discounts and special offers for full members and regular newsletters and an on-line forum for all.

Owners of all Noble models, from M10 to M400, are expected to attend the Brands Hatch event next month, which will be organised by Motorsport Vision. Suitable for experienced and novice drivers alike, the day will include free helmet hire and two sessions of free track tuition to ensure that all drivers make the best of their six hours on the circuit.

Southern England Noble dealers – Kerridges, Mole Valley and Noble London – will provide facilities on the day, as will a variety of aftermarket companies that have emerged on the back of Noble’s growing prominence in the supercar world. The NOC will also offer tyre fitting facilities, as well as the use of a 1200bhp mobile rolling road.

Full details of the event, including pricing and booking information, can be found on line at http://www.nobleownersclub.com/2006_Owners_TrackDay/flyer.pdf.

This weekend in Southern California was an automotive smorgasbord ! On Saturday, Deceber 3rd, the creators of “Hot Import Nights” treated Orange County to “VIP Auto Fashion” at the Anaheim Convention Center. What an event! Exotics (both four wheeled and two-legged ) showed up en masse.

Then, today, Village Coffee Roasters, in cooperation with the United States Marine Corps, hosted “Motor 4 Toys”, a charity event to collect toys for needy children. Hundreds of car enthusiasts and their special motors turned up, bringing at least one toy each. Needless to say, there will be many happy children this holiday season! Considering the sheer size of the event, the organizers should be commended for a trouble-free day!

Photo collections from both “Motor 4 Toys” and “VIP Auto Fashion” are now online in the Portfolio section of the site.

Later this month, look for an article on our trip to VIP.
