Spotted on Cawthra Road this morning. A lime green early 70's 911 turning onto Cawthra from the Queensway and black Dodge magnum with tinted glass and a whole bunch of flashing red blue and clear lights. When I came upon the scene I don't believe the 911 driver had noticed the dodge 15 metres to his rear.

Default Arial Atom3

Actually, I didn't spot this, but a friend of mine did, and I decided it was noteworthy, so here it is. He saw this car around the Younge and Eglinton area. For those that have not seen this car before, It is an Ariel Atom3 (http://www.arielatom.com/).

That is cool! I wonder if you could register it as a home built or something like that...

seems to be how they were brought in.

bring in the car as a bunch of pieces and go from there.

i've seen a pair of other ones, a green one, a red atom 2 and a black one.

brad would be the authority on getting these legalized.

Spotted yesterday on the QEW around Mississauga Rd. I thought it looked kind of cool with its roof rack and bicycles
