Morning all, i'm Dan, new forum member, club member, and Atom owner!
Yesterday was a great day - i took the sleeper train down to Cornwall to collect my new Atom. You may well have seen it on here before, it was previously owned by @mypresenttome and it's a beauty!
I've been looking for the right one for a while - while i definitely see the appeal of super and turbocharged Atoms, i fell for the induction sound of the naturally aspirated motor, and also figured it'd (marginally) reduce the likelihood of me retaining my license...
I've always bought cars and enjoyed modding them, but in this case it's staying exactly as it is, an my plans are to look after it, track it, take it on long road trips, trips to the supermarket, collecting the christmas tree in it, and generally enjoy the madness that is Atom ownership...
My inaugural drive was a 4 hour trip from Liskeard to Buckinghamshire, and i loved every minute of it. Super quick, surprisingly comfy. The sun came out too, which i took as a sign that the Atom gods were looking after me! Huge props to @mypresenttome for keeping it in such great condition, i'll make sure it's looked after, and i'm looking forward to being part of the community.
Dan
