Hello from France

[thomas_fr]

Hi, i'm Thomas from France,
interested to buy an Atom since a few years (since i had the chance to have a ride on track with a SC/300hp), and 2017 seems to be the year 

I own a Turbo VX220 (remapped to 290hp) and a Stock Honda S2000,
I don't use the S2000 (i prefer the vx220  ), so i'm selling it,
and i wonder about selling the vx220 also, to buy the Atom.

I'm going to inspect an Atom 2 in London on sunday (the one on ph at 27k£, 245hp / front/rear spoilers),
maybe it will be the one 

I also saw the one of Sir_Nick, maybe i should contact him to come see his Atom 

Thanks for reading, Thomas.

Hello Thomas and welcome to the forum ..

I think Sir Nick's car is still for sale - he should be on soon to let you know ..

Good Luck with whatever car you decide to buy - I'm sure you're going to love it !

[Sir Nick]

My Atom 2 is for sale.  Inspections welcome!

[thomas_fr]

Thanks John

Nick > Maybe in 10 days, you are in Bristol ?
Which airport is the easiest to come to your location?

[Sir Nick]

I should be around Thomas, best ping me a PM and I'll give you my mobile number.  Nearest airport is Bristol although Heathrow is only 1.5 hours away.

So i went to London 2 weeks ago, and inspected J77ATM : i dropped a deposit, and i'm taking it by the end of the month

Congratulations Thomas! It will be a day to remember! Are you driving it all the way home?

[thomas_fr]

Yup, a 1200km ride 

I hope the sun will be with me

Who cares about the weather on your 1st drive,
it rained all the way home on mine.
You will have a smile from ear to ear  I did .
Might have to visit a few petrol stations on that journey.
Hope you enjoy it .

Is the fuel gauge reliable ? Or like on a motorbike, i should fuel up every xx miles ?

Ha ha ha ha ha !


Er...

No.

[thomas_fr]

I'm home, after a 1600km trip in 2 days in the Atom 

That was lot of fun, 10min of rain near Luton, and 100% blue sky after, perfect

A few pics of the way bak to france, and a Ride with a friend of me (Elise S2) near Reims :

[thomas_fr]

Epic ride yesterday,
i was on a 300km "motorway" trip to join friends, blue sky at the beginning, but then thunderstorm, under heavy rain for 1 hour, stuck at 50mph due to the AD08R, fog in the helmet (i forgot to put the pinlock in  ), and with "summer clothes",

that was scary, but at the end, when the sky goes blue again, what a pleasure 

I need to find water resistant clothes, that does not reduce the helmet/head movements, any recommendations?
