Well my dad picked up his atom 300 a couple of days ago and while the weather was nice we went for a nice long trip around whitchurch and nantwich (great roads!) So i thought i would share a couple of photo's i took, sorry for the quality there off an iPhone.

Is that the Esso garage on the Whitchurch Bypass roundabout?

Lovely toy!

There are a lot of bikers who knock about round the bypass, they usualy end up stopping at the Truckstop on the Dual Carriageway.

Watch out for the scameravan just down from the garage (where you took the photos) though

Leeds is a fair way from Whitchurch though, howcome you went so far?

there was an atom in Emersons (Bristol) a couple of days ago. nice to see :]

Very nice, will you get to drive it?

My brothers best friend changed his Elise's for a Supercharged version of one of these, but had to sell it soon after. He found that it was just too loud and couldn't really be driven hard without helmet and ear plugs

Were you wearing lids? How did you find the noise?

NathanE · 12 Apr 2009 at 20:36

There are 2 helmets visible in one of the pics ^

Off to bedford next week for a track day so will get to drive it then, this is a supercharged version the noise is not that bad, we were wearing motorcycle helmets with no earplugs.

The only real noise you get is from the supercharger when you floor it, but i think it's an awesome sound, kind of like a whirling!

Well observed

I saw this near Nantwich! The roads are good down there, will be having a blast down them tomorrow!

Plenty of camera's around though, which ruins the fun slightly

Very nice, i bet you could have a lot of fun in one of those. :cool:

SideWinder · 13 Apr 2009 at 02:05

Do you have to wear a helmet?

MikeHunt79 · 13 Apr 2009 at 02:06

Nice, the last pic I saw of an atom was this:

The accleration on these cars are phonomenal!

And to think they are bringing out a 500bhp version!!!!! Nuts!

vcl_X1 · 13 Apr 2009 at 10:32

500bhp + weights next to nothing - I want one so long as it comes with the Darth Vader lid!

Bet this version blitzes the Top gear test track when they let the Stig loose in it.
