Looks like great fun. Will there be any video footage (he says, living vicariously through you)?

I don’t know the answer but I am wondering if you could make an expanding foam seat work in an Atom. I don’t know if the floor is strong enough though. Eg https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/s/pit-track-rally-equipment/seat-foam-and-seat-making-kits I was going to go this route with my Lotus but I ju...

This is exactly why I want a Nomad (but am not quite brave enough to make happen). For those going, have a great day.

What is the solution to the overheating issue? This seems a fairly serious limitation of the car.

Brilliant, and a great write-up on PH. Have a fantastic trip.

It looks like it needs a proper clean, which is annoying, but it might be a bargain. It seems more than £4k underpriced to me but I haven't put the spec in to the Ariel spec sheet to see what the new-build cost would be

Seems silly cheap unless there’s a story with it.

That's very informative, thanks! I've just installed GoPro Labs on my Hero8 as a result.

Is anyone looking to sell their Nomad 300?

In an ideal world (!) options would include:

Alcon brakes
Hydraulic handbrake
Baffled sump
Heated windscreen
Ambidextrous chassis

Thank you.

I had to bolt Tillett seats directly to the floor to fit in the Elise though, and even then it is touch and go. But where there is a will...

I am also keen to get a view on 235 vs 300 if at all possible
