Hi guys

I live in sunny South Wales about 10 miles West of Cardiff.

I'm hoping to book a test drive down in Somerset soon, not to far to travel and really looking forward to it!

Not seen any fellow Welshies on the forums and just wondering if they exist?

I have a circuit not to far from me

www.etracksonline.co.uk/Europe/llandow.html
Have any of the Atoms ever shown up here?

Great site & group.

Cheers

John

No club members in Wales yet... You could be the first! The roads are so good in Wales, I'd be delighted to organise a road trip... Or a trackday... or both!

I'm from Wales, I divide my time between Aberystwyth and Gwent. Looking to buy an Atom in the not too distant future. Fingers crossed!

We've taken our atom to Llandow a couple of times - its a great little track. Mid-week testing is really cheap and you often get the place to yourself. Ideal for letting your mates have a go in the car in a relatively safe environment, with little/no other traffic. Karting is good there too.

Thanks for the replies guys,

Great to see there's some interest in Wales.

Gwent to Aberystwuth - what a wonderful that would be in an Atom, along the winding coastal roads of West Wales!

Great to hear there's been an Atom at Llandow. I've not driven the circuit myself although I've been there many many times. I'm 52 now and can remember the huge long traffic jams for the race events. That was before the neighbours complained about the noise and restriction imposed.

As you know, the circuit has seen a revival of late with a recent resurfacing and of course the brilliant karting track.

Next time you plan on going to Llandow, please let me know - it's only a few miles from my house and I'd love to see an Atom in action there I wonder where you're from?

I'm not an owner at the moment but slowly gravitating to it.

Regards

John
