Hi Rooney1000, I'm looking for one as well, with much the same budget as you were looking at, may I ask what you paid for your one?

Thanks Arthur.

Hello

I am in The US,

Having owned a few Lotuses Including Exige/Elise stock and upgraded models, I have to say the fun doesn’t even get close to a well tuned Atom.

I have a US Atom 3RS and it is just crazy what it will do. Nothing even gets close to it.

I had a chance to drive an Indy car a few years back and this is basically just like that up to about 100MPH. After 120 she starts getting squarely much because of the vacuum crated by the windshield and the lack of downforce not having the front canard and rear wing mounted.

Anyways, it’s a blast to drive. But you need to have a subscription to rear tires. They go bald fast!


Get an Atom, you deserve it!!

Welcome Rooney, I hope you are enjoying your 3.5 as much as I am mine (purchased in Nov).
It's when you go to the garage 'just to look' - you know its love!

Yes that would have been me, trying to find some nice roads as mostly B roads where I am and wanted some faster roads to get used to the Atom and the speed. Met up with my brother as well, he has an M3 so very different, but made for some quicker runs in certain areas !

Were you around the Braintree area at the weekend? If so, you were seen by my son, who couldn't wait to tell me that there are 2 Atoms in the town. 5 minutes earlier you would have spotted me heading out for some more "running in" miles.

Cheers,
Rob.

Nerves are good. Just take it easy and you'll be fine. I'm sure I'll be crapping it when I get behind the wheel for the first time!

This is the road I'll be pulling out of the driveway on to:

Hi

Mostly road for me but with 2 or 3 track days a year so I am ok with no baffled sump - and track days for me will be fun, not totally full on all day.

Hope you find one soon 8...and enjoy yours when you get it Nam.

Mr Rooney, photos and spec would be appreciated!

Have you driven it yet?

Sorry, slow response!

Am getting an existing owners 3.5 310 delivered to my house tomorrow (via factory how have serviced and checked over). 2018 plate and only 3,000 miles, looks really nice and pretty much perfect spec. Been sorting through everything now and also asking the factory lots of basic questions (like i am sure everyone did with their first Atom).

Roll on tomorrow !
