k would I take it to get fixed!!?? (US Navy base being the exception!)I gave it up because I had an itch to buy one, but after a few months, I realised I wasn't driving it as much as I should, and it just ended up sitting under a cover! Oh and it didn't have a/c
ps. There's alot of decent places here to get these cars fixed and looked after, and they don't cost a bomb!
My best spotted yet! A yellow Aerial Atom yesterday afteroon in West Bay in Doha. Driven by two locals and one of them didnt even have sunglasses on!
When I enaquired about importing an Atom or Caterham a few years ago I was told no chance. Just goes to show it depends on who you know.

Last night, just pulled out of Seef mall and a car pulled out in front of me a bit futher down, at first I thought it was a SLS but as I pulled along side it it looked to me like a new Morgan..!!?? Too dark to see any badges but its the only modern car I know of that looks like that. It was on Bahrain plates so hopefuly i'll spot it again.
Then just now on my way to work a red soft top Z8 parked up at the BMW dealer.

Keep seeing a grey California in Mubadala's office car park in AD. Didn't like it when I saw the first pics but its actually a very pretty car. A truly useable Fezza, though that might miss the point somewhat.

Sat behind a white 911 Turbo in the traffic on my way home a minute ago... I know, nothing special there you all say... but what was behind the wheel was special! As I noticed a slender feminine arm adjusting her rear view mirror obviously to get a better look at the handsome chap ( 
) in the Nissan behind her!
