New Atom to me

[gflecky]

Just to say hello to everyone from Dumfries and Galloway, just bought my second hand Atom, in great condition, and looking forward to having some fun.

Certainly makes a change from my motorcycles, suppose you could call it is a four wheeled motorbike, which must be a bit safer as I get older, least that`s what I told the wife!!!!!

[gflecky]

It`s an Atom 2 with 160 HP in Gulf Racing Colours, will try to upload pics. later, as just off on a cruise today, so too busy packing etc.

Good to have you on the forum. The Gulf car was my car, i sold it to Hodgsons not that long ago, it is in really good condition as i did a lot to it and it was in super condition when i bought it. Please PM me if you want any info.

Welcome to the forum and Atom ownership - 

The car is in nice condition - as I recall in its previous none Gulf colours - the car won the best kept car at Atom X - someone correct me if I am wrong....on that.

The Gulf livery on Kieth's car looks very nice in the flesh too.....Very distinctive.

18...for real? or are you trying to be the wise man here 

If you are, please don't die in that car  ( I know I would if I had it before my 18th birthday...)

I am so glad i did not own that car 20 years ago 
I would not be here now

Welcome gflecky

This was my first Atom bought new in 05 and meladdo was correct about Atom X; I still have the trophy

It is included in this topic when I upgraded to a 3 245 last year

Here is the for sale thread although ended up selling it via factory which is where Rocket Man took over.

Its great when you can trace the car back like this through the owners and all club members and at least one of them STILL has an Atom....

C'mon Rocket Man - leave those wooden toys alone and get a 3.5 with a screen (for the wife) on order.....Go on - you can choose the colour of the chassis

Nice one Will,
I would have another tomoro,
Orange chassis with full gulf colours and screen for the wife. Just need some more money saved who knows. Just curious how much those special paint jobs cost like the Repsol Atomblade
