Uuuuuuuh.....I've just let myself go all over myself.

Motor's Hero of the month right here.

How much you pay for this beast?

 

[Cosimo]

That is awesome.

 

[daveski]

Fantastic.

Want one so much.

 

[G|mp]

Winning.

 

[Will Gill]

Woah, came in here expecting a spelling mistake & picture of a stubby aerial mod

Pleasantly surprised

 

[Freefaller]

Rubbish.

 

[Hagar]

It's got four wheels!!

Very nice though. If everyone drove these congestion could be a thing of the past (especially in the rain).

 

[Freefaller]

Had a ride in one and it was great fun - what are the roads like around you?

 

[Gaijin]

Not. Jealous. One. Bit.

 

[tcfreer]

Is this your daily driver

Cause if so - your sir are a hero of Tony Stark size!

 

[OCPete]

Thanks for all the nice comments!

To answer the questions:

MPG is terrible, plus small tank!

No compromise is spon on. Exactly why i bought it. The fastest i can afford to go, and handling & brakes to die for.

"Spleen Sauce" I drive CC regularly at their track days. Including this Friday if its dry.

As soon as i can find a GoPro Hero 4 in stock vids shall follow!

Where and when are the OcUK meets? Always happy to chat to likeminded fellows! Point me at a thread!

Gearbox is std Honda 6 speed H pattern with LSD. Sequential was a later option.

Prices for Atom 2 300 is around £30K depending on spec, condition, and history.

Not my daily driver. I walk to work so i can have 2 toys! WIN WIN.

Here is a teaser of my other toy. Including one big clue as to what it is.

V6 Clio! Sweet.

You're winning at life, well played.

 

[Mr. May]

Mk2 clip v6 phase 2 by any chance ?

 

[OCPete]

Correct and correct! I should have removed the mat to make it more difficult.

My sister's partner has one of these (then non-supercharged version I believe) and I was lucky enough to have a passenger ride in it in France. He knew I'd been very much looking forwards to it and he did not disappoint.
I think it is likely to be the only time that I will ever have a fly squashed on my phone cover, due to filming it all on my mobile!

Very jealous; an excellent car.

If it was s/c the screaching whine of the high rpm charger is VERY noticeable. To give you an idea when i took someone out on track (both wearing helmets) he said he initially though i was a mentalist screaming at him every time i accelerated!

All GREAT cars tho, its just the s/c extra mid range torque and addictive noise just add to the experience.

 

[Ucof]

It was much more vibratey than I expected!

My sister and he have a joke about 3.5k revs and how easy it is for women to fall asleep in the Atom.
She did a whole tour round the Alps with him.

Lucky girl.

How's in-gear acceleration in the atom?

 

[Uncle_Gravy]

The guy has an Atom and a VEE, well jealous.

Still would have guessed it with the colour coded gear surround trim, and course its gonna be a PH2, updated dash look

How's in-gear acceleration in the atom?

Deceptively GOOD. It pulls hard from low revs.

Honda vtecs lack mid range in normal car usage but here it only has to shift half (or less) the weight of a normal a car and the s/c fills out the mid range too.

Gearing is also low. Fast starts are from 2nd.

It is frankly hillariously quick. The top end is bonkers. 500+BHP/ tonne!
