Default Ohh YES, the Ariel Atom has arrived and is waiting for me to get home!!!!

W00 h00000 I can't wait to get back into the Atom. I first drove one in Nov. 2004 @ Streets of Willows... well before it got hyped on by Top Gear. I've been waiting one ever since.

no Larry the cucumber, i'm talking about this.



better p2w ratio than 997 cup car i think. but very poor aero. i wonder what lap times the Atom will do. it has done very well in all the UK circuit tests against much more expensive cars.

Gee, I wonder if a formula car will do better than a true street car. Hmmm... I'm on the edge of my seat

No wonder he loves droving it. No body panels to replace when he Orange Crushes it.

Why would Dung Pile worry Mike? As usual, it isn't his.

So how was the drive? (The thread title made it sound like you were droving it Saturday...)

I'm still in Taiwan. Then I gotta goto LA, and the Phoenix. Not sure when I'll get to drive it... I got too much going on lol. Gotta goto Minnesota in mid March, prep del Sol for turbo and cage in Phoenix again, end of March.... blah blah.

Atom is bad *** of course, I recommended it to my home boy. His other cars are... CGT, CLK-DTM, F430 Spyder. Atom is the perfect training tool. These other ballers are are too nice for "practice". Once he's become more comfortable we'll track the other cars more often.

The Atoms built in Oregon now, apparently the build quality is actually better the UK ones. We've been waiting on the Atom for like 8 month that's the amount of time it takes from the time you put down the deposit....

When did your "home boy's" cars become yours. HE"S got the CGT, CLK, F430, but your already talking about droving them. Maybe you should try "once he's become more comfortable HE'LL track the cars more often"

Here we go again...already droving other people's cars.
