Hi James

To big to mail I'm afraid!

If you goto the site link I posted, right click it and choose save target as (the file name will already be suggested). Save it to your desktop or somewhere you remember and that's it.

The download is slow so it's something you start and go have few pints or whatever.

The bad news is, the Atom comes second!

This is included in the soon to be released atomclub dvd! Priced at just £15, this includes 12 (count them - twelve!) TV broadcast items from the very early days of the launch of the Mk1 atom, from the news launch right up through to the Christmas Top Gear.

Order your copy today!

(And yes, I know some of you have had orders in for a while - sorry for the delay, but the prepaid ones will be going out this weekend - and by ordering in advance, you've paid less for it too!).

Bruce!

Put me down for a DVD and a couple of pairs of shoggles. One red one blue please.

Let me know how much you want and where to send it.

David.

...that requires constant attention.
Oh, and it has bodywork that makes it impractical on the road!

Yes, and from memory didn't it fail to get on the track due to road calming bumps at a recent group car test?

I think it was the group test carried out by haymanator and co.

PS Looking at the spec of a 2nd hand Radical it states the engine is 1500cc - I believe a Suzuki motorbike engine.

nope, it failed to get out of the circuit to do the road part of the test, it was the quickest of the group on track, well it would be really, it has that stuff called downforce!!!

(that by the way was an sr4 with the 1500cc sr3 engine...it was fast, very!)

you can have an sr3 with either 1300cc or 1500cc.

The SR3 winning against the Atom was timed on a mobile phone. Not the most accurate device for measuring a .3s difference. You'll notice that the Atom is quicker in the bends and only loses on the more open sections. You can go for a 245, 275 or 300 to rectify this ... if you care.

Anyone fancy driving a Radical anywhere but on a track?
