No mention of the M600's rather loud waste gate ... It sounds fantastic when Chris lifts off the throttle!
Because it's not the sound of the wastegate 
ETA Awesome video Chris! 23 minutes of win!!

It doesn't have a very musical soundtrack though, as its noise is dominated by turbo wane and wastegate whooshes.
absolutely bloody superb Chris, the atom bit is one of the best i have seen in years, its up there with Harrys stuff for petrolhead geek nirvana. No masturbatory power slides just buckets of driving skill, jebus that atom looked like it was going to fly sideways at any time as your nudged up to 160 
i need an atom, even with the basic engine!! (the limited mugen NA would be perfect for me) you can keep the noble, i would run out of talent in about 3 seconds lol

For many this is clearly the case. I'm well aware that I'm the odd one out here.
Modern cars and tech offer just so much but for me some cars have now gone too far with their buttons and lights. Just like Japanese stereo manufacturers in the 80s.
Not the only one. With you all the way!Modern cars and tech offer just so much but for me some cars have now gone too far with their buttons and lights. Just like Japanese stereo manufacturers in the 80s.
Brill vid, that Atom is super. I have the 160 hp Atom and it goes like stink. A nice entry car, would to drive the V8, it would scare me s
tlessss. Its a brave man who goes those speeds in an Atom. It is not a point and squirt car, you have to learn to drive one and handle it and that takes practice. The Nobel does not do it for me, too plastic and not an F40.

The Nobel does not do it for me, too plastic and not an F40.I know it will cause a commotion on here, the technology that gives us "driver aids", also gives us decent brakes, suspension and tyres that make the Noble possible! So dismissing technology isnt perhaps a good thing, unless of course you want crossply tyres, shocking suspension that is either compliant for the road or track, not both and brakes that wouldnt stop a shopping trolley!
All be it that it would take an exceptionally talented driver to get take this car anywhere near its abilities just keeps making me ask, why, when you can buy more for less?

Why dont you get a car from the 1950's with no buttons on it then? Buttons + gizmos are fun.

You're not the only one who's that odd to prefer a car without buttons and gizmos for fun...
Just saying.

Anyone know how many M600s there are out there? Assuming it's still <10 cars in total?
Baby blue: M600 GB
Grey: M600 RHD
Red: M600 LHD
Lovely blue tinted one for sale here: http://www.atfullchat.com/index.php/news/item/79-e...
White one that was also for sale by Romans and is maybe now around Leicester?
Is that it at moment? Are they just slow building them or are they not really selling any?
Add an orange one to that list, have seen it in one of Shmee150's pictures on Facebook in the background Baby blue: M600 GB

I've driven the M600 a few times and it's truly mind bending and surprisingly easy to drive. I can assure you there is no plastic on the car that I saw! Fully carbon fibre and beautifully finished. Mine arrives in the summer....
Well done sir, I've only been in it on track, but dont remember any plastic, maybe he knows something we dont.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
