I have the following up on my white board, for contemplation/anticipation of my April 2007 delivery:
Note: In hawaii we get 6 characters, not 7.

ATOM
ATOMIC
NUKE
DABOMB
PROTON
NUQLER (yes, how George Bush pronounces it... ugh.)
NUCLIR
HV MS (my appraisal company motto is "Hawaiian values. Mainland speed."
1G TURN
GFORCE
U-235 (the isotope of Uranium used in early fission bombs - OK, that one's geeky)
ELEMNT

I may just be unimaginative, but I like ATOMIC best so far, though U-235 is pretty cool, too.

Uh... would that be Nasa's Space Physics Data Facility?
Or are you referring to electron atomic orbitals?

either way, shieahh! Geeky!  :P

The latter... it was one of the ones I came up with before figuring out that ATOM II was still available.

Good one. Not many people would get it, of course. That's the trouble with really clever plates: they're often too clever for most people. I would be surprised if 1 in 100 people would get it. A bit like putting HRS 291 or 291-2 on your plate here in Hawaii. Maybe 1 in 100 would get it. But that one would laugh their 'okoles off, maybe enough to let me go with a warning.  ;)

It could backfire having names related to the bomb. After all a "Bomb" in automotive slang (here at least) is an old clapped out piece of shinola.
It's not the kind of leverage I would want to give someone who might want to slander your ride.

I saw a good one on an Elise here. "LUV G'S"
Of course the owner added the ' with a little vinyl tape.

My son has one on his Porsche that has a double meaning and would work on my Atom, just don't know if he'd give it up.

As there will never be anymore MK1s made, I was thinking " 1 OF ### ".

Does any UK member know how many MK1s were made?    (that's UK members that read topics under the THIS section   ;))

I looked for an e-mail address on Ariels website but there isn't one.    (don't blame them with all the spam that's around >:()

No, they told me when I brought it up that if anyone was interested enough to want an Atom they would write.

Actually, that's ring - the phone number's on the site... They're always happy to take a call...

I don't think we'll ever really know how many Mk1 s there actually were... so the good news is that you can make up any number you like!
