An old car outside a garage...

Post by Fastlane » Mon May 31, 2021 8:41 am

Took my old jalopy out for an evening spin on Saturday to a well known North Cornish "prestige" car dealer and took a few photos - doesn't look bad for a 13+ year old car - and yes that is an English Electric Lightning in the background.

It's done nearly 22k miles now, 7k since I bought it is September 2018 and I still love it. I fitted the 3.5 lights front and rear this year as I always thought the "elephant ear" let the front down - I am pleased with the results.

Hope you are all enjoying the good weather. :vroom:

Indeed it is John and as Steve says of the "faster" Atoms, it is nicely "loose", which I suspect is mainly as a result of its first owner...

Speaking of which, Alan - I'd love to see some pics of your beast.

I hope that works. Shame we've yet to meet up at the factory.

Plenty of time yet.

Very nice. Indeed - I will be taking it up to the factory again this August for its annual service, so maybe this year.

Cheers,

I have a strong residual affection for that car, I may well have a look.
