Ariel Atom in Cheshire

[BigMacca]

Hi Everyone

This is my first post on here, having been registered for god knows how long!

My dad is fast approaching his mid-life crisis stage and is seriously considering the purchase of an ariel atom, he does't sound to fussed on the spec, as the standard one is still a shall we say... rapid car.

My question is, is there anyone in or around Cheshire with an atom that would be interested in showing it off? Video's and reviews on the web can only do so much! Not after pestering to get a drive, just the opportunity to see one, have a look round and ask a few questions! I'm based just off the M6 in Sandbach and would be happy to contribute toward petrol money if anyone would be up for it.

Apologies if I've posted this article in the wrong bit!

Thanks!

Ben

Keep an eye on The Wheatsheaf meet (last thursday of the month) to see if Alec (Atom3) is turning out.

It's amazing how his zimmer frame forms part of the chassis

Cool! When you say the Wheatsheaf- where abouts? You're not on about the one in Sandbach are you? I know they're a common pub! Cheers

It's an Atom 2 I have and maybe you need a zimmer frame as well so you can keep up with everyone next time we go out for a run.

These things are always better from the horses mouth.

If that's a zimmer frame then bring on the bad hips!

Get yourself down to a trackday at Oulton and try to get some pax laps. That way you can experience one at full chat and in safety

I have had a few passenger laps in a supercharged one and they are FAST!!

Hi guys, thanks for all the advice

Following the advice on here, I've spoken with a couple of guys on the Atom Club forum who live locally and they're more than happy to take us out for a drive and have a chat. Will no doubt find it an awesome experience...
