Hey! Welcome.

I read in another thread you’ve just got an Atom. Go on, tell us a bit more... what sort (2/3/3.5?) supercharged? Colour? Options?

Perhaps a piccy?

Hope to see you at a meet or event soon.

Looks like you've got yourself a good Atom there, great spec, and a good look in those colours.

Enjoy!

Don't do it!

Next you'll want a knob to turn the power down! And cup holders! And a reversing camera! ;)

Alan

Having tried both with the screen and without I can definitely say I much prefer driving it with the full screen - I also have the side panels and, without doubt, the car has much better aero - why would you turn down better performance simply for being macho?

An added bonus is that with the screen fitted you can talk almost normally with a passenger - also driving in rain (or hail?) no longer hurts!!

However the main reason for me personally is that I don't need to wear a helmet (hate them!!) to guard against a random stone hitting me between the eyes!!

Mr. P,

Having experienced a few Atoms, I’m surprised to hear you diss the reversing camera? They are a disaster to see out the back of, after all.

Oh. And SADEV’s are brilliant.

There’s your fix.

Cheers,
Hedge

Thank you Andrew.

I know they're a bonus, I was gently taking the piss.

Hi All On the reversing camera i have found a rear veiw mirror with a forward and rear veiw camera and it records they range from £30 to £90 on eBay i have gone for a Lenovo one , which i will mount low on the dash i will let you know how good it is. There is good reason as i intend to track the car so its a big heads up if some one is catching you .
