Atom insurance

[ZMCOUPE]

Just wondering what everyone was paying for their insurance and who are you all insured through?

you can have a look to old topics about this subject.

Hi slowdave, does trailer to small ring a bell?

[slowdave]

haha, was very surprised that the car was still on the back when i got home!

Talking of trailers, this TT20 is a great one for the Atom:

It's the evolution of the prototype that Brian James made as a one off for early Atoms. Mine's 4 years old and so far, so brilliant. The best bit is that the wheels are inboard of the platform, so you don't get anything sticking out when overtaking or going around corners.

Thanks to this feature, it's also slightly wider than the average trailer (2.03m platform width) which accomodates the Atom's slightly wider track than your average caterfield etc. Which is probably why a lot of hired trailers give Atom owners such grief!

Plus, it fits in my garage with the car on it!

Hmmm, looking at BJ trailers again, it looks like that small TT (3.6m length) may actually fit in my garage with the Atom on....I didn't think it would be able to at all - I'll have to see if I can find one second hand.

Cheers, Ross.

Whatever, you need to look for 'Beavertail' trailers which are the most suitable for the Atom
