Come to think of it.  The Atoms will have to catch you as the Nomad doesn't have to follow the road :)

Hey Nick!

Loved the video. Watched the whole thing, front to back, living vicariously, while sipping a pint. We definitely like the same music. I need to get on Franz, in Phoenix, to organize something like this. Thanks for posting it.

how did you cope with luggage space or was it a case of turning socks/boxers inside out? :)

Most of us travelled solo, so the passenger seat/footwell gets used for luggage.

If you have a passenger, you can permanently crumple their legs over luggage...or strap it outside the car.
First Atomised 2001.
Atom (165) > Atom 2 (220) > Atom 3 (300) > Atom 3.5 (310) > Atom 4 (350).
There is no cure.

Yer i was just thinking about passenger type :) the mrs in the last Atom wasnt overkeen on crumpled legs for long periods of times (even though she is like 3ft tall) - I do have some straps so might try outside the car...

She'll enjoy that. But stop every half hour or so. The straps will cut into her flesh.
