One way to run it in! And the best way, I think!

How did you get Hockenheim all to yourself?

[Hedge]

Absolute quality, love it. Cracking way of running it in.....

Cheers, Hedge

Great first drive- the passenger looks like he's well impressed by the drifting.

[AustrianAtom]

OK you wanna know how i can run around Hockenheim all by myself?

On the way back home we stayed at the Nürburgring because we want to run the ring un Tuesday morning.
Tuesday morning wo realized that the Ring was closed till Saturday so we decided to drive home.
On the way home we drive right by the Hockenheim track and i remembered that there is a huge parking lot where i can run the Atom for the first time, because in Crewkerne the streets where wet.
So i pulled in to that parking lot asked some guys if we can drive the Atom there.
After the Question "is it loud" and a phone call to his boss we unloaded the Atom and drove it for about an hour in that parking lot.

Then 2 guys in a bus pulled up to where my 2 friends where standing and asked if we can move our trailer because it was blocking a bus they needed for there bus driver training.
Those 2 guys also asked if they can have a ride in the Atom...sure they can ;-))
When the second guy climbed out of the Atom he asked me why we dont run it on the Track....."can we" i asked him.
He took me to the Boss of the whole Area.
The Boss looked at the Atom and was happy to see the Atom in reallity....and asked me if i know the Track. "sure i do"
So it was my 2 Friends the Atom and me....for about 3 hours...fun fun fun

Got to love the Atom - it's an automotive 'Access All Areas' VIP pass to anything!
