but I really hate threads like this because they just encourage boys to puff their chests out and big themselves up.

Mainly my aim in starting the thread was to find out what other interesting cars other Atom owners had owned, no more no less.  Anyone with an Atom is fairly likely to have had one or two other decent motors, I wanted to hear about them as nice cars are what float my boat.

I'm glad you did, Ben.  It's been an interesting thread, at least the parts about cars.

Ben,
I wasn't referring to you darling............. you have no need to big yourself up.
God did it for you.

He certainly did

I reckon most monster blokes have tiny cocks though?
Answer that and stay credible.

You could have a point, although I have never really looked at another man's cock so assuming 12" long is normal then at only 10" mine is tiny.

edit: the above link has nothing to do with Randy's last post. Randy, I'd be proud to have owned half the cars you have.

Senna.jpg (38.66 KB, 640x480 - viewed 84 times.)

Senna Ducati (916) No13 still a virgin, Ive driven loads of 916 Ducati bikes so why spoil this one, I bought this one from pal Al Melling--F1 engine designer/ builder, Motorcycle engine designer/builder, Current project Melling Hellcat.....yee haaaaa.

1997 bike Picked it up 2002 from Al's livingroom into the van-------------out the van into my livingroom. fortunatley the livingroom is 40ft x 30 ft, marble floor with underfloor heating so the bike is not to prominent where it sits and stays nice and warm.

Every year I take the HT leads off,connect the jetski battery up to the leads (it's never had a battery since new) and turn it over to get the oil about the engine.

I also have one of Alan McNish's Karts which I am restoring after racing for a couple of seasons to put on display too.

The thing about Atoms is - they can really get you adicted to track days. Here's my new way to feed the addiction.

Yeah, it's driven by wheel speed vs RPMs, not a switch on the tranny or shifter, so it's a bit of a problem if you don't drive smoothly (which I haven't yet mastered as is obvious in the video. Oh, well, I'll just have to keep trying . . .

... another shot - powertrain - 2006 Suzuki GSXR 1000 -  stock except for deeper pan & oil pick up mod.

I took the car to a Boy Scout Soap Box Derby at request of scoutmaster. Tables offer a sense of scale -

Anyone care to offer suggestions of what they see odd in this picture?
It is the front right of Maserati Gran Turismo 2009 pictured elsewhere.

[dingo]

Due to poor resolution of photo above, I've blown up the answer to one (IMO) oddity.

[Driver]

I saw it in the first photo.. At first I thought studs were missing (uses bolts instead of lugnuts maybe) then I saw it.. No Axle through the center. What happened? Or is it a trick question and something specific to the design?

[dingo]

Well done Ken yes, it is the design and moreover that hole has splines as if it to accept a drive shaft.  That surprised me.

Also, yes bolts, but that's not too odd.
Something else. 

Apart from the sixteen wires snaking around that send signals re yaw, abs, slip angle and TPMS (to name a few params)
