Hi All

Why so quiet on this forum- too busy enjoying your cars and bikes I presume?

Was seriously considering joining the Atom fold having had a hoot driving the Atom at PalmerSport.

But having suffered with terrible weather for what seemed like 12 months solid last time I bought a windowless car my head has overruled my heart and I've decided not to ... ... for now.

So having been keeping an eye on the market - this car represents good value and appears a perfect spec for fast road or track use.

Tom at the factory has also been hugely helpful providing info and advice.

So as she's not advertised here, go take a look?? I've told them they need to use PH too!

Meanwhile I'll still get my Atom fix at days at Beford or Elvington - they are truly awesome cars!!

All the best - Ashley

Make sense - you need to drop in to chat b@££@&?s from time to time or us potential newbies will worry there's no Ariel scene :-)

Didn't know you lived underground with the wombles.

Anyway is this 300 a near ultimate road / track spec or not? Desirable for future resale if I did a year in it?

Well priced after a little discount??

Just my heart keeps shouting "buy it" then my head reminds me how wet it got when I tried out a Caterham for a year and suggests I buy a big engined rwd coupe and drive slowly, have some fun, keep dry - but the F10 M5 isn't even ticking those boxes anymore - need to add less weight, avoid turbos?

Anyone want to PX an Atom windscreen against an M5??

That does look a good spec. The magnesium wheels and aerokit are high cost options.

Is there a good second hand market for the aero bits??

Could claw a bit back and buy a screen and a hat.

Presume aero offers no benefit at legal road speeds ;-)?

Have a plough the the buy sell and wanted section of the club forum and you'll find out how easily it is to sell the aero bits which don't give a big benefit.

You'll also find out that the Mag wheels are very desirable and should fetch good money quickly.
