Re: Gold......safe or sorry?

Agreed Wattie...it's all personal and no one is wrong or right here and at no point should a personal opinion ever be hammered into someone else but everyone's arguments allow others to make an informed choice. To be honest I'd be more than happy if the political (and then hopefully financial) situa...

Re: Gold......safe or sorry?

On that note though, it's interesting to see an discussion board like the Atom Club where the members have other interests and can discuss them! I'm impressed. Good to be a part of chaps and I'm looking forward to becoming a fully fledged member when I pick the Atom up next year!

Re: Gold......safe or sorry?

Surely Steve, that entirely depends on what your investment needs and strategies are though and what you think may be to come. For example, I'm not in it to make a quick buck as gold is meant to underpin any investment portfolio as a hedge against all things going a bit belly up and as a long term h...

Re: Gold......safe or sorry?

Definitely with Wattie there...there can be no easy solution to this. I think the Eurozone was in the deep stuff once they started letting vastly different economies into it and trying to straight jacket everyone to the same mold. Once one defaults, others will do the safe and the whole lot will bre...

Re: First drive in an atom

Would be interested to know too Rocket! Not that I need to know that much having already ordered one but I guess if you're selling the 7 to finance an Atom, it says it all really!

Happy birthday mate!

Re: The money is down!

Cheers Steve, good to know. I've been toying with the idea of speccing a 245 to start with better components and then I'll think about upgrading to the supercharger in future i think. That way I can get the adjustable suspension and brakes sorted properly from the outset. This forum is awesome for h...

Re: The money is down!

Cheers Hedge...and I did think about that but most are coming in around 34-35 grand for the spec I'm after. Problem is, as I'm moving to France next year I want the ambidextrous chassis which, retro fitted is about £3k. Therefore by the time I add it, I figured I might as well just spec up a new one...

Re: The money is down!

Cheers Wattie, cheers meladdo. That was kinda along my thoughts as well. Why design such an awesome car if the suspension was a load of tosh? I guess the resale values will be higher with the extra kit but will it make that much difference to the saleability anyway? Gonna do some research and have a...

Re: New Atom owner

Bean it looks awesome and having only just put the deposit down, I'm frothing at the mouth to get it! Don't think I'll go down the windscreen route yet though...converted biker with all the gear and am very comfortable in the helmet, especially with no hair!

Great news though and enjoy it!

The money is down!

Hi guys, just thought I'd say a quick hello given I've just dropped the deposit to Atom UK and can't bloody wait! All along thought I was after a Caterham having driven them but then got to go out in the Atom a few weeks back and the noise of the supercharger has not left my head! A3 300 here we com...
