I picked up my newly acquired Atom from Ariel today. Absolutely brilliant!
It was like being back with a dear old friend, who happens to have grown up, gone to the gym and taken steroids.
A 6 hr drive back in the rain, high winds and floods made me realise what I have been missing all these years. Such a fantastic car.
Here is my Atom 3, 310.

Re: Back with an old friend
Shame you had miserable weather on pick up day !
Great thing about the Atom is that driving it under any conditions is a thrill and a lovely thing
Here's to some great summer days ..

Re: Back with an old friend
Hi Adam,
You took me for a drive in your 220 about 6 years ago, and i subsequently bought a 160, and have taken delivery of a 245 last year. Are you still in Odiham, or further afield now. You picked me up from Alton.
Good to have you back in the fold...

Re: Back with an old friend
Wow, that's going back a few years, but what a great story that is. Two Atoms from a passenger ride, brilliant. I should start speaking to Ariel about commission.
Unfortunately I am long gone from Odiham now. Left in 2009, moved house 5 times since but have now settled down in the Yorkshire Dales. It means I have the Lakes, the Dales and N.York moors to explore with my Atom.
I tell you what, folk were right about the differences between the Atom 2 & 3, I found it be quite marked. The Atom 3 inspires more early confidence and it is a much smoother ride, more mature even?
