meladdo am in the same boat. Tactics to cope so far include - spend too much time than is healthy reading stuff on here - watch many you tube clips and daydream - love the track clips - buy the PS3 game that has an Atom on it - keep trying to spot one on the road - lurked around Brands on the Atom t...

I saw my first one on way back from Le Mans in 2005. Decided then - one day
Drove a 300 in 2009
Since driven a 160 and 245. Everyone a grin
245 arrives next March (all being well)
Do the lot I say.... then buy one!
have a good one

Great stuff John.
Really whetted my appetitie for next year - March hopefully.
cannot wait
All the best

Loved the video Richard
am fulfilling a long held ambition to see the F1 there next month.
Have now added "drive Spa" to the list
Awesome

A black Atom pulling away around 7pm from car park S at the Goodwood Festival of Speed
Looked good

Ben did the national 3 Peaks in 2008. 23 hrs 44 mins. Things I remember - you can't drink too much - you can't eat too much but not too much energy stuff. As normal as possible. Caught me out on Scafell Pike after one too many gel packs! - take a pillow for the car / van  to grab some kip - if you a...

If I could work out how to add smileys I would add one!!

Top Man, thank you.
A whole new world opens up. My Boy will no doubt have pleasure in teaching me the delights of online racing. Can't wait.
A virtual molecule sounds like a good plan

March 2012 is a long way off so how do you satisfy the frustration? 1. ask for Test Drive Unlimited 2 for the PS3 for your birthday 2. enlist your 15 year old son to get to level A1 and unlock the Atom 3. receive following text at 12.46pm today "Orange Atom purchased. Happy Birthday Dad!!"...

Cracking motor with a fabulous windscreen!
The big yellow beastie's burnout on the web site is pretty impressive too!

Wattie great post. can't wait to have the same feeling. Hired on of james' atoms from Atomhire (brilliant by the way) but driving our own will be special. Quick question - do you still think the fixed suspension is perfectly suitable? I didn't specify the adjustable on the spec as in atomhire's 160 ...

I am looking forward to trying though!!
Already plotting my route by b-roads from Crewkerne to the West Coast of Cumbria. The Welsh borders look like good territory.
Many thanks for your posts!

Grammar has never been my strong point - yep, orange panels. Just love em'
Have been browsing - what a forum! Get a fix anytime
Thanks

Evening all I have daydreamed about having an Atom in the garage since I first saw one coming back from Le Mans in 05. Well, the deposit is down and it arrives next year. A 245, black chassis and wheels in Orange. Can't wait and am looking forward in the meantime to browsing the Forum and immersing ...
