Hey Paul! Welcome to the club! Why R1? Is it to match a bike? Or do you just like the colour? There's already another special blue one... a minerva blue (see the club gallery)

Hello Paul,

I think I'm a few weeks behind you. I'm probably going to order one fairly soon. Can I ask what made you decide to buy one? Had you driven any on track before? Are you intending to track it much or have it more as a Sunday blatter? I too would be after a 245 with pretty much everything except the mags and supercharger. Just asking really as I'm on the verge of commiting I think but need that final push. I spoke to Ariel yesterday and was told October too. Only problem with ordering one now is that it'll be delivered in time for the November rain! Perfect when you're buying a car as practical as an Atom.

On a separate note, thank you Bruce and Ross for your kind offers for Saturday. If you fancy being a passenger in mine too then that'll be fine.

Actually, unless you live in Plymouth, rainfall is pretty constant all year:



(30 year average rainfall in mm)

And February in London is positively arid!

Hi and welcome!

Blue is getting too popular - I'll have to think of a new colour....... wonder what purple would look like?

Bruce , no , i just liked the colour , lol! the members part of the site is working too thanks!

I had never driven an atom before i went to the factory , or even seen one for that matter!

We decided to call in at the factory on our way back from holliday as its wasnt really convineint to go on a weekend as it is a 6 hour drive for us.

As soon as we got there Simon attended to us immediatley , firstly the car looked even better in the flesh than it did in all the mags! So , a good start!

From there we went for a test drive , that for me hit the nail on the head as from there we ordered one!

All i can say is , go out in one , and im sure you'll have your order in too!

What format did the test drive take? I'm hoping to get down to Somerset soon.
