Re: Good supplier for A048s near SW London?

Think it's the A25, Nathan. The dealer on the right as you're heading towards Guildford.

And he steals it from poor students around Camden. Outrageous.  ;D

Re: RTCOTY , so what do you think ?

I've subscribed to Evo since it was launched, but I have to say it's got a bit formulaic over the years. This 'missile', that 'weapon' â?? the unrelenting macho themes have become tiresome. Still the best photography out there.

Seat right back + the big Willans racing harness...

I have this combination and the LH bracket on the harness was jamming between the seat hole and the hoop upright. Even though the harness was working, the consequence was abrasive wear on both surfaces. I fixed it last weekend by adding a small oval mountaineering karabiner to 'move' each Willans br...

Re: Evo Vs Atom

John No-one's taking the piss out of racing or your achievements â?? and just because some of us don't race doesn't exclude us from laughing at the playground nature of the thread. You've missed the point . The piss-taking is for the tit-fer-tat 'I'm faster than you/No, I'm faster than you/Actually ...

Re: Safety concerns of wearing a helmet on the street

I was punted off track at Castle Combe in 2003 by a half-blind Morgan driver, in the Atom that Bruce and I shared. It was coming into Quarry corner at about 85-90mph. The Atom spun once, slid across the track and hit the armco backwards at about 60mph (my estimate - there's no confirmed evidence). I...

Buzzing noises over your left shoulder

I was getting an annoying buzzing noise from the car and thought it worth posting my fix here. Whilst the car has its fair share of normal 'zizzes' and rattles, this one was really annoying. It was the metal grill over the air intake - a few of it's fixing points had let go (it's not very well attac...

Re: Good supplier for A048s near SW London?

Well, the R888s are on. I have a tyre fitter at the end of my road and the guys were very careful (as I stood and watched like a hawk!). I want to test them properly at Bedford, but on a few of my favourite 'test' routes last night the difference was considerable. The whole car feels like it's clawi...

Re: Evo Vs Atom

Hey, Tim

Certainly continue to 'push yourself' if you want to succeed in your racing. But maybe you should ask yourself why you think it's necessary to keep blowing your own trumpet on the Atom Club Forum?

Re: Insurance Advice

Remember that if your new Atom is worth £35K but the extent (and therefore high cost) of the damage makes it a write-off then you're in trouble â?? HIC wouldn't give you £35K for a new one using their pay-out limit. I'd want to know where the 'write-off point' is â?? meaning what percentage of the...

Tartan has to be the answer. Do the Rajkowskis have a tartan, Rich?

Re: Painting panels - Lime Green or Candy Pink ?

Rich, that pink is sooooo Graham Norton.  ;)

The Exige 'acid' green is a great colour.

I'm still waiting for someone to choose a luminous colour so they glow when night falls.

Re: Insurance Advice

Hi, Scott I have mine insured with HIC, with trackday cover. Ultimately it depends on how many trackdays you think you'll do in a year. I like the fact that I can just book a track day, roll up and drive â?? without having to call my insurer beforehand and make the arrangements/payments â?? it keeps...

Re: Good supplier for A048s near SW London?

Done.

I just bought Camskill's last 15/16" combo. They won't have any more 15s in stock for about 8 weeks apparently. Sorry to anyone planning on calling them.
