Frankly, this is what is wrong with this website. This isnt an independent owners club, this is Ariel's site:
"Promoting or assisting in the production of any car that is considered in the eyes of the Ariel Motor Company to be a design copy of the Ariel Atom, could potentially involve the Ariel Atom Ownerâ??s [sic] Club in a legal dispute"
I would be totally in support of this rule if Ariel actually contributed here, paid the hosting bills, answered questions, helped with potential owner's sales.
But they dont.... all the content on this site is from us (and a ton of it by me frankly)

But they are very helpful to owner's in general. Even owners like me who don't use them for maintenance just for the odd part, this is why they have some sway around these parts.
Fran, I really don't think there is a problem with you answering questions about your cars, we are all car people here and there is a difference in me asking 'how much is that Ultima a like car you do' and you starting a thread called 'Fran's cars on $$$' I don't think I am the only moderator to see it like this
