Spotted you in the tw'Atom on your way up the dual carriageway tonight at 6pm. Flashed and waved but I think you were hidden behind the mirror

Oh, a bit OT, but spotted THIS this morning. If I'd have seen it before the bu99er that got it I'd have written a cheque pretty sharpish Explain to CG later

That can't be right,,, mk1's are going for more than that and Ariel didn't make a supercharged atom with 250bhp,,, the wording is ****e and it just looks wrong to me, also any supercharged atom if there were any for sale would go for at least twice that figure... very odd... Mine at the moment is worth exactly what i paid for it i..e 39k a 2005 160 goes for about 24k...
Piston heads mate, full of muppets...!

Didn't see you dave, although i did have the sun glasses on and my eyes were streaming...

Yeah, thought the same when I read it. Couldn't help but get giddy, then depressed.
Could it be some misguided attempt at trying to infuence the market ? You know what it's like when you're selling, some monkey always comes along and says your price is too high as one went on this, that or the other site for x amount last week

As I said, the mirror was right in your line of sight, as well as the other hinderances you have to deal with

Oh forget to tell you, I had a dual with a Fab Vrs driver on the Snake pass the other week whilst in the Atom... was too funny, Had r lass so wasn't going mad but he was orrrrffff mate quick little car them arn't they, Neeve was stunned, I had to get on with it to keep up too, the atom feels like your going nuts down roads like that and its actually much more difficut to drive than a normal car, thats my excuse anyhow Really though i did have to try a bit to keep in touch....not easy when your being slapped

People have so far been extremely surprised. Scotts eyes were opened at Blyton when we went out to rescue Sarah after the Blackjax kicked in, and a couple of others who had rides were suitably impressed. I really cannot fault it for what it is, except perhaps needing TT brakes and it not looking too cracking. Probably having mine mapped soon so you'll have to have a play before and after. Barry was gutted when we were side-by-side on the m-way and both in top. I counted us down and we both floored it, and I pulled away from him Wait 'til I have 310ftlb

It did seem to go, but a decent driver makes all the difference like on the snake pass, the guy was a decent hand at the wheel, and going quick in whatever car it is as i've always said is going quick, even with huge amounts of power and grip, without being right on the limit. The Scoob is quicker down most twisty B roads than the atom, and for that matter a big bike.... I think that silver Fabo was chipped it did seem to have a good turn of speed, especially 50-80 bit, its difficult in the atom becouse you can't go mad for two reasons on the road, one if the rubbers not warm will swap end in the blink of an eye and two any more than 3/4 thottle and all hell breaks loose...

I'll let you have a go before it goes Dave... so long as i can rig an OFF switch

Eh? Webamster!! Someone has hacked Dave's account and is obviously impersonating him... very badly I may add as Dave would NEVER, EVER, EVER turn that offer down!!!
