Went to the Ariel Atom factory today with my Dad. I had a test ride as a passenger (I wimped out of driving). OMG they are so fast, as fast as a bike but with better brakes and quicker round corners. 300bhp and 456kg.

You went to Crewkerne, you're braver than you look.

Cool!
I still remember going for a factory passenger test ride in a Caterham.
So is your Dad getting one?

Think I'll stick with bikes at the price tho'

I hope so, one year waiting list though. I think he thinks that if he lets me have a play with an Atom that I might give up bikes

How much do they cost?

I will pay £2000....anymore than that is expensive for a kitcar.

Depends on the spec, for a non-pimped 300bhp supercharged version it starts from £38k.

Yes, they said I could but I wussed out. Looked a bit too mental esp on country lanes that I don't know. If my Dad gets one I'll get insured on it and have a go though.
