Hi, I thought I posted a reply yesterday but isn't showing, so I'm try again. I had an Atom and kept in a Carcoon over winter and it was fine, in fact I'm amazed at how good it came out. We were living on Dartmoor in Devon, so very wet and very windy. When it came out in March there wasn't even any ...

I'll second that, Dave and Janet are incredibly helpful... and gave me by far the best quote

No apology needed Frank.

Other than the handbook and receipt I'm not aware you get any extra paperwork. You get the standard V5 (logbook in the UK) sent through from the authorities.

I've decided to sell my Atom 4, I just don't get the opportunity to use it (I've done 200 miles in the last year) and thought I'd put it on sale here first. The details are as follows : Registered 1/3/20 1 owner (me) Atom 4 yellow body panels, Gloss Black Chassis. 1,750 miles. Serviced twice at Arie...

Good call Speedwell, thanks.

I bloody know what will happen, I'll get it out to take some photo's, go for a quick drive and change my mind.

I must be strong, I must be strong !

Thanks Ian and speedmachine, useful thoughts.

I think the answer is to advertise now, if it doesn't sell then wait till Spring. And yes it is relatively good spec.

I'll put some details together and mention here first I think.

Cheers

I've come to the conclusion that I just don't make the most of my Atom 4 so plan to sell it. What are peoples views on when to sell, try now as we enter Autumn or put it away and wait for Spring ? I don't need the money and doubt it's going to depreciate (probably the opposite). Appreciate what you ...

Thanks "mynamesnotbob" and "Luckky".

It was so bloody cold when I went out for a drive when I got back I put it away again in the Carcoon till it's either a bit warmer or I man up.

I'll open it up when I get a chance and take a couple of photos

This might seem strange but has anyone else noticed small white spots on the black plastic panels and seats ? I've had my 4 stored in a carcoon over the winter and finally got round to getting it out yesterday. All over the seats and black panels are small white spots similar to the effect of efflor...

I've got the traction control on my 4 and would highly recommend it, I really think it's worth the money. Boost control on the other hand I wouldn't bother with. I had mine turned to 1 the first time I drove the car and since then have had it on 3 permanently and have never touched it again. One opt...

That's an understatement, possibly the worst episode of Topgear I've ever seen.

I might be in the minority here but I really don't think the screens look that bad

That windscreen actually looks pretty good, I might have one of those fitted.

Quick question if you don't mind, what did that cost for the retro fitting and should the bonnet be changed as you've done if you do ? Cheers

Sorry, my above comment was in reference to something said on the the first page of this post, didn't realise it was started in Aug 19 and there were another 7 pages, so probably seems a confusing comment

Interesting Fastlane, looks like it's only the Atom we agree on, oh and I don't like SUV's either. So not liking SUV's what do I drive.... a new I-Pace and I love it. Previously had a couple of BMW 530d xdrive Tourings which I also loved. I accept size wise it's not ideal as I live in Devon and we h...
