Re: Ariel Atom 3.5R owners?
"I'll get my coat"
It's a bit of 'street talk' that is said light-heartedly when someone wants to appear embarassed and feels awkward about something that has happened and they want to make a quick exit from the situation.
Someone else, as a joke, may shout "Taxi" meaning that they are arranging for that person to leave quickly.
It's because CAG3D has a 3.5R with a manual gearbox and you suggested that 'real' 3.5Rs had to have the Sadev gearbox.

Re: Ariel Atom 3.5R owners?
Blame Google translation !
"Je vais chercher mon manteau"
C'est un peu un « parler de rue » qui est dit avec légèreté quand quelqu'un veut paraître embarrassé et se sent mal à l'aise à propos de quelque chose qui s'est passé et qu'il veut sortir rapidement de la situation.
Quelqu'un d'autre, pour plaisanter, peut crier "Taxi", ce qui signifie qu'il s'arrange pour que cette personne parte rapidement.
C'est parce que CAG3D a un 3.5R avec une boîte de vitesses manuelle et vous avez suggéré que les "vrais" 3.5R devaient avoir la boîte de vitesses Sadev.

Re: Ariel Atom 3.5R owners?
My suspicion is that the coat quote is rather more a result of Mr Gaged's assertion that there are only 12 x Rs.
It's a bit surprising that the factory haven't given a definitive answer.

Re: Ariel Atom 3.5R owners?
sorry [mention]CAG3D[/mention] , i don't want to embarrass anyone with a manual !
In fact all the tests i have read were of course with factory 3.5R which was with sequential and to my opinion, because i had similar gearbox on my V8, it made a big difference even if i fully understand owners who prefer manual.

Re: Ariel Atom 3.5R owners?
Perhaps factory was giving a Number for new ones only, not for upgraded.
Re: Ariel Atom 3.5R owners?
I’m not sure I prefer the manual box, I have the Sadev in the Nomad R and it’s awesome.Monza wrote: sorry [mention]CAG3D[/mention] , i don't want to embarrass anyone with a manual !

For me, anyway, it revolves entirely around The Fast Show. That's where I nicked it from, anyway.

Fantastic looking car with a bonus. Opportunity to upgrade wheels, then seats, then dash. Keep us updated.
Do the dash, it's fab.
