I am always sharing pics of my car probably people are getting sick of the sight of it! I also share setup tips/feedback, feedback, YouTube videos etc etc. I think we do need more of this if owners are willing because it's not the run of the mill vehicle and otherwise you only learn by doing yourself. There is so much knowledge in this small community that can benefit others.

I am in the middle of editing another video of mostly road driving because I had a load of people messaging me wanting to see it.
Keep doing what you are doing Simon I for one take an interest in your posts and I am sure many others do too, "Bob Smith" posts a lot of interesting stuff on the Facebook group too, do you know him...... :laugh:

Great to know, I enjoy it as well and it's part of the ownership experience for me. It's a car that brings out the smile in everyone. The comments I get is quite amazing really - people I don't know asking for more on and offline.

I don't use facebook but I hear Bob Smith has a lot of cool stuff...

haha! when Rooke gives me a breakdown of parts, cost, time etc it will go in. He is trying to figure out the best way to retro fit the seq box as it's never been done before there are some complications I am told. It will likely be spring now because we only have Oct left for track days and I want to use that time tearing up some tarmac! They are good as gold at Ariel, they will figure this out.

Once the car is setup correctly, (I am getting there!) it will be epic. If I can beat a 2.10 at Silverstone with this I will be a very happy camper.

A few from my factory visit.
I am completely bowled over by the black on with wings and white chassis.

The red one has silver chassis and the blue one has grey. The blue is also the non-standard extra cost option.

They all look stunning. I'm still a sucker for the traditional red with the silver frame. Is that carbon seats fitted to the black one? It looks like a fantastic spec.

Yes. That car is loaded. They are carbon seats with comfort pads with Ariel Atom diagram drawn on them. With Ohlins and the white frame to contract the carbon fibre scoop and bonnet. Just wonderful!

Wow! It's absolutely stunning. Has that given you some ideas for your final spec? The blue one in your picture is a lovely colour.

What does it say on the rear wing?
Probably not 3.5R, but looks like it😄

The carbon seats are Tilletts. I had them in my Elise and they are brilliant even with no padding as the shape is just right (for me at least).

Thanks for the pics 👍
GR Yaris CP for when it rains, Atom 4 for when it doesn’t.

The white chassis 4 looks awesome. Love those seats as well. Is it time to buy a 4?

I agree. The white chassis is my new favourite!

Those seats on the white framed Atom are glorious, huge improvement in aesthetics over the stock seats. I think they have a runner as well.
