Love the Lupo GTi. Still the best super mini around.

 

[Clarkey]

Fox, ditch the mud flaps!

 

[Rybo]

Porsche, M3 and the Focus RS are lovely! Lad at the pub for some reason always parks his RS next to my car. His has luminous orange alloys on, absolutely mint example. Looks awesome too.

I have owned and sold many cars over the years and the Focus RS and the MX5 are the only ones I get the twinge of regret with every now and then

Much grinning!









Atom 2 300.

[Tomcat825]

You win.

 

[Dup]

Drove an Atom at Palmer Sport in absolute abysmal conditions, I soaked the instructor every lap as I aimed for the apex puddles haha. Awesome machine and with a charger on top would be incredible. I would have one as a daily no problem, very jealous.

 

[thewanted]

Is that the sequential manual? Either way, uber jealous!

 

[OCPete]

Its manual.

And the shift is super slick Honda as you might expect.

[Dup]

The Palmer Atoms are paddle shift but still very slick. You don't get too much change to rattle up and down the box though. Not in the wet anyway, short shifting is the order of the day with that one!

 

[Super-Spy]

Wow, now the Atom is something special

 

[Vigoro]

That looks very nice Stefan. Are you coming to the southern meet? I really want to find out what these are like and would very much appreciate a poke around, etc.

Should be there, and will likely be in the Civic if I am

 

[Bennie-Mac]

Got around to taking a few more pics

Black on black interior? I thought you were a huge opponent of the "S-Line style"?

 

[Jonny ///M]

Crap phone pic for now until my mate clays and waxes it.

It'll do...could do with more top end power but it has a nice wee 'taxi driver' shove in the lower revs.

Atom 2 300.

Peter

Love it - I briefly drove an early atom, whereby I discovered that I'm nowhere near brave enough to find its limits in the dry. The little screens are hilariously inadequate for anything other than minor buffeting protection too!

Looks nice and tidy, just don't drive it like your usual astra driver

You only really get light interiors on the dark paint colours, which show swirls and marks really easily. My 530i has a black interior, too. If I was speccing a brand new one I'd go for Space Grey with Oyster interior. But I wasn't, so I couldn't.

With the deals being discussed on new F10s in this thread, did you do the numbers on a brand new one? Or does it start to fall apart when you start ticking options boxes?

 

[Jez]

As good a deal as £32k is for a new one in a respectable spec (LCI SE 530d with Pro Nav), that is still over 50% in addition to what Fox paid. Although on paper the new car is "better value" it doesnt change the markup!

 

[[TW]Fox]

Plus it's more like 37k in a similar spec anyway. So massively more money so not far off twice the price! No thanks

 

[peterattheboro]

Were M Sports too expensive then?

Disappointed you went for an SE. It doesn't look aggressive enough.
