First serious outing with the new beast, reasonably pleased...

Great pics.

Especially like this:

Although I refuse to drive one as they still look like inside-out frogs to me.

Keep up the good work

Like the sequences of the silver and orange Clio. Someone was having fun weren't they ?

Some great pics - those Ariel Atoms are surely the default choice for the speed freak!

edited for abuse of the apostrophe. I blame too many kingfishers in the curry house last night.

Thanks for the kind commments!

Those Ariels are mad but the one the that's linked above actually has a bit of perspex gaffa taped to the side, presumably to offer additional protection...?!?!?

And did you notice (I'm assuming) the charge cooler..?

I took an Atom round Bedford (full GT circuit) and ended up totally losing it on the corner onto the pit straight. I entered WAYYYY too fast. This little thing was grippy, but it couldn't defy physics.

After pirouetting for a bit, and causing a GT3 and Evo to have to slam on hard behind me, I carried on and drove a bit gingerly for the rest of my session.

They bite.

whats this car: www.hankscorpio.net/trackdays/2005.10.15-Bedford/img/bh_05oct15.114.jpg

It looks like the new Grinall Scorpion iV, but I didn't think there were out yet...

I saw that particular car in January so it's not new.
I'm sure they've been around since maybe late 90's..?
