Re: A4 vs earlier models. Newbie questions.

I'm not alone in having a very unpopular view that the supercharged cars are ever so slightly more exciting than the turbocharged ones Plus the brakes work and they don't have problems with the cooling. When I say ever so slightly I do, of course, mean a cock sight more exciting. And I've driven bot...

I can confirm that at 80 or 90 at altitude heading towards Zurich the rain did smart a little... cheap exfoliation.

Re: Long Trips in Atom

I always wear glasses of course. A pair if Wiley X I bought a long time ago. You couldn't go over about 40 or 50 without and it's be a little stupid to risk your eyes.
Otherwise you don't need anything. I know lots on here insist you need a helmet, you may WANT a helmet, you don't NEED one.

Re: Long Trips in Atom

I did a trip to Sicily in my 3. From home to Sevenoaks to Zurich, just under 700 miles in one day. The car was faultless, the seats completely comfortable all day long. The only lesson learned was leave the helmets at home, they take up too much space. On the return I flew to Catania to pick the car...

Re: Atom 4 Mirrors

I bought the 4 mirrors for car and like them a lot. Mainly the aesthetics, visibility is improved but I don't consider night and day.
Autobackup, the extender sounds a fine idea, thanks.
Hedge, I suspect the 3.5R will stay with me till the end (unless it doesn't fit in the box!)

Re: British Motor Museum/Jaguar Heritage day out - Gaydon

That was a super interesting visit! Loads of stuff to look at, old, very old, new and lots of fascinating prototypes. Cars cut down the middle, engines opened up, historic cars, famous cars, XJ13 showing how beautiful a car can be. I could gladly spend a day there and I'm going back. Also had a damn...
