FS: Ariel jacket, red, size small. I've had this a couple of years. Literally never used it, been hung indoors. I think the guy I bought it off used it as much as I did. I can't remember when these date back to. I seem to recall Bruce (Fielding) being involved in the design? Maybe, maybe not. Anyway...

In my SC Atom, I never once saw double figures on a track - especially on a long one like Bedford. I was always 8/9 mpg.

If - & it's quite a big pair of ifs - you can afford one & are able to store it where the car is - then trailers are a vv good idea. Sometimes, the thought of driving home after a day at the track was enough for me to curtail my time at the track. And that's without the vagaries of the Engli...

That colour was my idea, winkle. You nicked it

Looks absolutely mint.

You seem to have a lot of Atom stock for sale. Are you an authorised Ariel dealer?

I've had 4 Atoms, 1 Nomad & 1 Ace - & never known how to reset the fuel gauge on any of them - so "perhaps" I'm not the best person to opine on this

Depending on whether you turn left or right on a roundabout, the fuel gauge can vary from -5l to +25l.

I'd reset the trip each time you fuel. On road, top up every 170/ 180 miles or so? On track, every 100 (or less). Depends on your style of driving, for each.

Never ceases to amaze me how many people ask you how much it costs. Weird.

One word of advice: don't get freaked out by people passing you. They probably shall. Many see the Atom as a target, almost a badge of honour to pass. In your initial days of learning the car, you'll inevitably find one of two drivers like this & you'll climb out the car afterwards wanting to sh...

They really are reasonable to run on track, just as you say. It's pretty much pads & tyres & that's it. As long as you look after it/ do the sensible things (cooling down periods etc) you'll get a ton of laps out of them. No engine rebuilds every 5k, either.
