Ariel Atom vs Bugatti Veyron

[Scottsman]

I passed a Bugatti Veyron this afternoon (it was going the other way).

Wife: What was that?
Me: A Bugatti Veyron, the same kind of car Jeremy Clarkson drove from Italy when racing the other two in the plane.
Wife: I prefer the Atom.

Says it all doesn't it.

"Says it all doesn't it. "

Yes, your wife needs glasses!

[AtomFun]

I think I could be persuaded to swap my Atom!

[dazzas-atom300]

yep cancelled my order and now quite happy with the big V... Ta... odly i ddin't notice you going the other way.. sorry and all that... nice little car though...

[FAST BUCK]

The Veyron doesn't quite give me the 900hp per ton, so i think i'll leave it!

[AtomFun]

I'd probably sell it anyway.

PS My Veyron may only have 540 but its the torques that matter

[FAST BUCK]

I'm not sure exactly what the torque will be on my new Atom , i think it's going to be just under 400, we'll see, 10 days to go!

[AtomFun]

Assuming it's on time James, what's your first outing? I might try and make it if you lend me the do$h to get back into Wales!

[FAST BUCK]

it's on a bit of a go slow at the moment, hope to get it in 10 days time.
1st outing HOPEFULLY will be the Fast show at Santa pod on the 26th March and then at Silverstone on the 30th, would be good to see you at either.

and , no i can't lend you any money.

[AtomFun]

Will you be 'running' the engine in? 1000 miles I was told by Simon, so I did!

[FAST BUCK]

I've been told a 1000 miles as well, i'll have done that before Santa pod dont you worry!

[haymanator]

before mid march more like

[FAST BUCK]

fingers crossed, it's gonna be close, i've got it in my diary for the 13th /14th March(Evo test day)

[haymanator]

ah...thats changed a wee bit. msv are now running a novice trackday on the the 13th....so its now 14th and 15th. the 15th is the best day for you as the snappers are there....14th is now just getting the lap times and general test!
