On my way to Ariel

Post by Dezoris » Fri Aug 19, 2005 10:06 pm

I will be flying out, Sunday, to The US facility.
I am bringing another potential buyer with.

Once I get back, I will edit the footage, write the article, have the article edited professionally.
I will post it here before it goes out accross the internet to see what everyone thinks.

I have a few favors due at Car and Driver and Auto Week, I hope when they do their tests they will plug this site. They should out of principle.

Had a chat to Craig last night - lots of interesting stuff going on... mostly embargoed

Looks like he'll be taking orders from September 1st. Prepare to part with your cash!

[/quote]All you'll find on here is unsubstantaited gossip and hearsay... and that's the way the manufacturers here and in the US like it. Because if it's just gossip, they can't be legally responsible for it...

That's why the manual will best be produced by us - if there's a problem, then the advice in it is just our opinion and can't constitute any factory claim...

I got back yesterday, I have been busy with editing video footage and images. I am starting to write my article today.
Without filling up this page with everything that happened I will just say that, it was a little hectic and did not go as planned initially, however that changed quickly and wound up being one of the best work/vacations I ever had.
And that was not just because of the Atom.

Here are a few teaser pics.

I had not noticed upon first examination that this was an "off course excursion".

Looking closely at the 'off-road' pic, it seems there's a camera attached to the top of the roll bar. Have you used the fitting for the hoop to secure it?

Bruce think of the most high tech way of mounting that camera there, and you will have your answer.

By the way after 3 hours on the frame rail and on top the camera gave out.
