A few weeks ago, my wife and I decided to drive up to VIR and visit the Atom factory there. We met with Mark Swain, who kindly showed us around and explained how the Atom was built. It was an incredible experience that I'll never forget. Mark was awesome and very helpful with all of my questions. We did, what I thought at the time, was a simulation build -- to get an idea of price, and to go over each of the options and the differences. I had intended to return in 2013 to get this thing going. But my wife had other plans.
For Christmas, she surprised me with a deposit placed on a new custom Ariel Atom 3. We open gifts a little early each year hehe. Chassis #AA30175. I honestly can't wait! We are having the frame painted to match my rare lamborghini color, Blu Cepheus, with everything else black and carbon where available. Should be one of a kind. Mine will have the front and rear wing as well though. I look forward to spending alot of time here on these forums, asking many questions and reading about others experiences.
