It’s gone wrong, very wrong.

I love my Cerb, to the point where my FireBlade has only had 350 miles of outings in the last 18 months, but I drove it home last night like it was a four door saloon, why?

Because a particularly inconsiderate friend allowed me to sit shotgun in his new Atom 300 a day or so ago and now I cannot stop thinking about the experience.

I need one.

So how do I get hold of a proper one, quickly?

Anyone want a Cerb or FireBlade or both?

Do dealers/factory do interest free?

Help me, I’m in trouble.

How did you get addicted to Atom?

It's a common experience. One drive and you are hooked. It's worse than crack cocaine!

Call Tom at the factory and put a deposit down on a new car. It will take between 18 months and 2 years for it to arrive, so at the same time ask him to keep an eye out for second hand ones for you. When the new one comes sell the s/h car for a smidgin less than you paid for it (£0 - £500 depreciation over 2 years is about what to expect).

Welcome to the club.

I have seen every youtube vid, bored the socks off my misses (in fact everyone I've spoken with) I've thought of little else since Tuesday night.

These are the very same symptoms I was experiencing before I bought the Cerb.

I was driving home last night in the rain and thinking what clothing I'd need to keep toasty warm in the Atom.

Help me hehe

Hi Don

Was good to meet you last night and hope to meet up again, so I'm going to try and convert you back to the Cerbera.

Do you have the full on Austec remap and induction??
Another 50+ BHP might do it for you?

A nice Nitrous kit fitted to a 400BHP Cerb would give you about 520BHP??

Don,

If you're that smitten then we should sort out a trip down to the Factory.

i have to take mine in for it's 'running in' service in the next 500 miles or so
you're welcome to come down with me.

or failing that we'll take another drive out in it if you want

I'm giving in yet!

I'm sure we must be able to get another camping pass to LMC.

Pack up the Cerb with a 1 man tent etc and join us for the ride down!
You just know that the drive there and back will wash any thought of defection away!!

Driven a couple of Atom 3 300's this week - a couple of hundred miles.

I really don't want/need one.
