Yep, my mistake. F3.

So my friends comparison is about right, spose. A re-bodied F3 car, v broadly speaking.

I guess one could argue why not buy a race car & use the (considerable) change to buy a road car (or two). Tbh, I've not seen many Mono's on the track over the years, so I figure most owners use them on road. Bit like the Atom, in that respect.

Simple answer, thats because it is thrilling to look at during lock downs and it is f*cking awesome on the road as well as on the track.
It is brilliant on the road, I do like 1 or 2 trackdays every year, why bother buy a lot of cars if I can have an all in one.

As like the atom, even on boring trips, its still a nice experience driving it

Yep, just like the Atom. Turned up a notch or two.

Is there anything even more mental than the BACmono?

That's been my ultimate car wish for a long, long time. Unfortunately they were a bit delicate even back then, so that moment has passed I think.

Awesome, £100k opens it up to whole range of motors though, plus what about all my friend?

Lack of an S on the end of your sentence made it amusing reading :-)

But there’s definitely an element of sharing nuttiness. Scaring a mate, work colleague etc.

Who do you stand in the pub with and discuss how bonkers your Atom (or Nomad) is?

I guess you just stand facing a wall, in the corner and chat to yourself.......? A little bit like you used to do when you were a kid, wrap your arms around yourself and pretend you’re snogging someone in the corner?

C’mon, you ALL know what I mean.....don’t you, don’t y o u ??

Just my opinion, but I take it that you're not in a relationship, or if you are, you want to get away from you're partner, plus, you don't have any friends you want to share your experience with.

Even when I was single (a widower), I loved taking people out in my Atom, which is how I met my Wife Nadine, and even my Motorbike has a Pillion Seat, as there's nothing better than sharing, so a Single Seater would not make my list of vehicles I'd want to own.

But then, everyone to their own, and I hope you enjoy your solo drives.

There is only one chance I divorce my wife, that is if she touches or comes too close to the car

But as you said each to their own. I am really bored giving rides all day. All trips I made with the car are me alone driving with a bunch of friends alone in their cars. Thats what I Iike.

Of course there are some people I want to give a ride, but they have to settle with looking at it.

You dont have to share anything now do you? I have a stunning wife, I dont mind you looking at her, but you cant have a ride, she’s a single seater...

Roy,

In the UK we have a phrase, 'a ride for a ride?'
