Hi all.
Just want to formally introduce myself, after going straight in at the deep end with lots of questions elsewhere on the forum!
OK, so here's my Ariel Atom story.....
2010 first saw one.
2010 Met 'deepdurks' (club member) a submariner then based at HMS Sultan in Gosport who owned one (mark 1, I think).
He was kind enough to give my Mrs and I a spin around Hampshire. I vowed then 'I will one day own one of those'.
2014 Had an 'Atomic Experience' Track Day. I once again vowed I would one day own one.
2015 Put deposit down on one, but bottled it as £31k was just too much (£4.5K being the most I have paid for a car).
Revert to plan A -Buy the Atom on my full retirement.
March 2020 and Covid comes along. Life is far too precious and short.
October 2020. Feck it!.... I Bought myself an Atom!.... It's Blue (or Black/White depending on what I choose!) , its 2.4 Supercharged, 310 BHP and its GAWJUSS!!
A video of the car can be seen here......

I look forward to being an active member in both the Forum and physically after Covid has bogged off!
