Car now sold.

After a fantastic nearly 5 years from new I'm putting my Nomad up for sale this week - just thought I'd put here first. 2018 car with Red Chassis and panels, Supercharger, 2 way adjustable Bilsteins, Alcons, Hydraulic handbrake, under body protection, cover, spare set of wheels. 5300 miles - No mile...

Completely missed this ! Been wanting to do similar for ages. Next time I hope.

Hi Graeme,

I would love to come on this with my Nomad - could you add me to the list please.

I need to sort a few things out to make it but looks good right now.

Yeah Karl - the bloody car stank for days ! Cleaned twice and finally got it not to completely stink of horses ! I think between Karl and me we have had our fair share of dunks - but so far nothing damaged. My air intake is still low but hoping to sort snorkel at service this summer. I use a dryer t...

Im actually going to struggle this weekend now i'm afraid. Next weekend would be preferable - and weather much much better tbh.

if it goes ahead anyway i will try and make at some stage.

Haha - mine was meant to be getting picked up for service etc and a few bits - but then lockdown !! So its sat in the garage....mostly.....

Why is yr car down in Crewkerne Karl ? Is it stuck there for now ?

You are a good man Karl.....selfless...

I came from motorbikes - it wasnt fright ! Just got fed up of falling over....

It’s an Atom 4, it has all the Traction Aids [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Good point - the way he was driving really assumed they were turned off as he kept backing right off and really wasnt using any power at all - maybe the traction control is very limited ??? Or the Stig as a st...

I think the lap time was daft - when you have a modern car with all traction aids the time difference maybe smaller but on an Atom wet/damp/cold destroys lap times ! Watching the Stig put me back to when i was at Goodwood in the wet and it felt like it was just aquaplaning all the time !! He was bac...

I was really disappointed by it. I rate Harris but this seemed very half arsed tbh. Yes on cold tyres the front will understeer on the old car but get some heat and that's over. The old crew loved the Atoms and enthused about their positives - Harris seemed to just be very off hand abt it. Worst of ...
