Well, on Aussie Top Gear.
But driving is on Isle of Man ...along with an Atom and a Radical.

No speed limit on the island of course, BUT only one wise choice of car (if you can call an Atom a car) in Britain when you get the usual British weather!

I have a friend who was involved in the car design/build when it was Farboud based near Bath, did they not change the engine to some heavy lump from what was originally intended?
