Has anyone ever driven one?

Ever owned one?

What was your opinion of it?

Begbie · 29 Apr 2007 at 19:04

I wish lol.

Wondered what people think of them - from their own experience etc.

Did you watch Clarkson when it was on TG, not good if your face is starting to drop as you go over 35 years old, so you should be fine, not sure about all posters in this thread though

I wouldn't like to hit a bird bird at 180mph like in that vid that was on here a while back :eek:

. Looks like great fun though.

Yes thats the one :eek:

, even with a crash helmet hitting a bird like that wouldn't be fun in the Atom. I think the chances of it must be very slim though.

I'd have imagined they'd be close to evens

silversurfer · 29 Apr 2007 at 20:38

There are lots of good reasons to have a windscreen

How about the Radical road car. Quite fast and looks very nice with a F1 wheel and helmet etc. My dream car tbh :cool:

only 30,000 aswell

Considering there's already a thread about it, I thought I'd post this picture I took at RAF Cosford a couple of weeks back. I'd never seen one in the flesh before, so to speak, so took the oppotunity to grab a shot.

Sorry 'bout the randomness.

I would love one if I was rich.. I really fancy a car like that because I like the idea of biking, I don't like the idea of death or broken limbs. Therefore for me the atom would be as close as I could get to biking.

Sod the atom ; check out the KTM X-BOW.

Now that is a proper car !!! :eek:

Azagoth · 26 Jun 2007 at 17:40

I believe the Lotus 2-Eleven is the far superior model of car in this bracket. although, the petrol heads here will probably disagree. Personally, I'd go for the Lotus but that's just me. Anyway I don't have a spare £40K lying around and the '02 Mondeo outside won't cover much in part-ex.

Love them, saw one in Liverpool City Centre and a very hot summers day... the guy had a crash helmet on!
