I was a mere pup at 42 when I bought my first one. Still having that mid-life crisis 13 years later. Lord knows how long I've been having it now - or shall carry on doing so. A wee while yet, me thinks :)

Cheers,

I suspect a lot of us are the wrong side of 40?
14 years after buying my first one, I'm waiting for number 4 to arrive and can hardly believe I'm in my 50's!

Gonna make a claim for oldest. I'll be 74 in two months time.

First Atom in 2011, this will likely be my last.

Still driving on track, a few of us are driving Spa Francorchamps 21st & 22nd September. Driving heaven!

Ok - time to 'fess up!

I am now 72 and many of my friends l think I'm far too old (some even say so to my face) to be driving an Atom 245 let alone a 3.5R!!

But then again throughout my working career I've always handled big horse power machines so need the fix of owning a really fast car
