That is naughty. The thing is if you did not see the add and just the pictures would you know it is no an Atom

Using some detective skills on the other forum they have identified the vendor as Palatov Motorsports, I think the chap was called DP (not to be confused with DP35) when he used to post on here.....

A big fat WTF!? These really are an exact copy, quality looks better than most kit cars or rip offs!


Maybe I should buy one for spare parts!

In the states, of all places....where they sue you for not pissing in a straight line...this can't be true, I'm guessing they're using the Chinese pics and try to rip of a couple of people for 12 grand (0 feedback says enough actually)
