Just picked up an Atom 4 yesterday. An amazing, if slightly chilling drive home from Autobahn in Hexham who gave it a once-over for me. There will be better days to drive it than in zero-degree temperatures!
I'm based up near the border with Kielder and the roads up to Jedburgh, Hawick and Selkirk in easy reach. Looking forward to getting out when the weather is a little more clement and the roads a little less 'exciting'.
Hi Paul,
Hope you kept it in low boost
It dawned on me when we departed that you may not have had a helmet?! If not then yes it would have been bitter to say the least! I always try and avoid wearing a helmet unless using motorway tbh but I don't generally drive atoms when there is frost on the ground at 7am either. Certainly no chance of falling asleep at the wheel!
Also the car has been fitted with a lower profile aero screen so that wont help. Better for the shorter person but you may want to change to a stock one that is probably an inch higher. I have one spare in the garage I think but its all marked, you are welcome to have to try.
No doubt a few other NE owners will be along shortly.
