I'm curious about the clamps on the Noble wing. The two things I remember most about the Noble M500 I drove and messed around with were "holy poo poo power" and the factory wheels weighing a loving ton.

In celebration of your wagon here is a E30 wagon that I wish I could buy.


I was at my bike shop and right next door is a performance car shop. I think maybe the edge came delaminated and was being repaired. There's generally always some crazy poo poo at that place. First Noble I've ever seen in real life.

Pretty common setup on A class RV's up until the mid 90's. After that they generally started moving the crt up above the cockpit.

That's a 3rd gen Chevy Caprice wagon. The motor most likely isn't stock as there would have to be a pretty hefty cam in the available 305 to make that kind of burble. The sound makes me think 454, but more versed hot rod guys could probably identify more accurately. The ornamentation was added later, obviously.

Copperhead may be the single greatest thing to come out of that TV channel.

And yet, the funny thing is that compared to what people are doing now with dropmembers and coilovers/airbags, it practically looks like a 4x4.

You're right. In that Copperhead just looks right. No BS, just a big ole Chevy motor and enough stance to not be ridiculous.

Another badass Stacy David creation, and one of the first that got me hooked on Trucks back in the day, 55 Willys.

While I usually despise power boaters, it is nice to dispense with sailing for a week (because you'd probably loving die on the Lake if you tried to be out there with those crazy fuckers tearing rear end across the water) when those boats roll in for the Poker Run.
