Spotted - Mylor

[Hugh1]

Spotted an atom around Mylor a couple of weeks back and once driving a couple of days later. Would have posted then but computer was down.

I think it's the first time I've stopped (while driving) to have a look at a car, very impressive.

Anyone on here?

[John Lloyd]

Not me, haven't been that far south west, but there's always a chance! Can you tell us anythin else colour, road it was on, etc.

[Hugh1]

I have to admit I cant remember what colour it was, I have a feeling it may have been red my I'm not entirely sure! I was rather preoccupied with the overall design tbh.

Both occasions were on the road that leads down to Mylor Bridge; its a dead end and leads to Mylor Yacht Harbour and Restronguet Sailing Club.

The first time it was parked at the side of the road (there is a lack of parking for both clubs there), I was in the car with my dad and we stopped and admired it briefly (unfortunately couldnt for too long as we were in a hurry). The second time was on the same bit of road but it was driving towards the sailing clubs as I was driving again. That was at about 5pm on Wednesday 4th May.

I shall own an Atom one day! But uni and sailing come first at the moment.

Saw it again just before 1 today, on the roundabouts between Falmouth and Penryn this time (about 3 miles from the sailing club).

Its all black with silver space frame, looked the mutts nuts!

I've got a black one and live in Falmouth but apparently there are two of us with identical cars in the area!

Did you get your a couple of months ago from Ariel? Could this be my old one? (missing it a lot).

We'd know... if Tom joined the AAOC!

And he''d be upholding the honour of the Senior Service - we already have two RAF members!

He's not alone in Cornwall though. There's an AAOC member in Truro.

Were you out and about on Sunday? Mid-late twenties, slightly dirty blonde hair and wearing a black neck protector thing?

Its the first time ive seen one moving (and not crawling), it does bounce around quite alot doesnt it?

[Tom Hill]

That is me with the "dirty blonde hair" as you so kindly put it. Bought the car new from ariel about a month back.

[Hugh1]

Sorry I couldnt think of any other way to put it!

Nice to see it out and about. The other atom was down at Mylor again last night and there was a steering wheel hung up in the changing rooms! Had a good long look at it on the way back to the car this time. Think I'll have to get me one of those asap (but probably wont be possible for a while )

I am told that the owner of the other one sails a dart 18. I'll have to introduce him to PH when I get a chance.

Passed the elusive 'Mylor Atom' today on the Falmouth-Truro road. Has he got those transparent side panels on his?

[John Lloyd]

Come on Tom we need a photo, of you of course, not the car. I've always wondered what a dirty blonde looked liked!!!!

Yes he has got the side panels; looks like they would resonate horribly but may be wrong. I'm going to be at Mylor again tomorrow, if he's down (there isnt racing for darts this w/e, just firefly's) I'll see if I can have a chat with him about the car, I knows its a 220 but thats about it so far.

On another note saw you yesterday (Friday) evening, when I was on my way to the Royal Cornwall YC, I can't help but smile when I see one
