Congrats! That's a stunning looking car! you won't regret this one....I know because we have the same taste in cars, I also owned a Viper and got triggered by this Top Gear episode..."recently" when May tested the V8, I pulled the trigger and decided I was going to buy one for real!

Not so sure about the front window...but that's got to grow on me I guess!

Looks good. Are they new "dymag" wheels?

I have the windscreen and also the gunsights, so have done both. I don't like the look as much with the screen but, to be without helmet all the time and therefore getting the full "roaaar", does it for me so i leave it with the screen on now.

Have fun and keep smiling!!
Keep smiling!!

? you didn't get new plates on purchase, or you're waiting for a private plate switch over?

If the latter, mine had 3 differing plates and tax discs in the first month, police didn't have a clue what car it was or status but enjoyed taking pics anyhow.

We're taking ours down to Rye tomorrow..............

At Ariel they know people don't read them manuals, that's why there isn't any...
[/quote]

But there is a handbook!

If anyone wants one for an Atom 2 or 3 I have some available. They're £19.95
[/quote]

He Bruce, is this the "unofficial" ownersmanual?
[/quote]

Yes, but it's a handbook, not a manual.
[/quote]

It's not the "unofficial ownersmanual" or handbook - it's the ONLY manual/handbook!

It's very well produced and a nice addition to your car file + it's where I keep record of my service history, much like any other owners manual/service book.

If you don't have one, buy one - Bruce deserves all the £20 notes we can give him for the production values of it.

I wouldn't be joking about barb wire and Atoms. Several people have had first hand experience with it.  ;D
