RE: Ariel Nomad | Spotted

[unsprung]

Is there an official race series for this amazing beast of a car?

Imagine if there would be a factory-sanctioned series. And on wild, undulating surfaces.

I put down a deposit for one a couple of weeks ago. Here goes the 18 month wait

I have no idea were or when I would use one but I still need it!

There were a couple at Oulton Park last weekend. It’s fair to say the race track is not its natural habitat.

I really fancy one but wonder where it can be used in the way it's intended. Anyone got any ideas?

Thank you!

As for the washing - it really isn't as easy as it sounds.
To me this is the biggest and one of very few downsides.

No YouTube videos for a while. Any plans for more adventures? Really enjoyed the eurotrip.

There are two with the Raptor still outstanding, which I'll try to post shortly.
I've spent last few months about 1500miles away from the Nomad hence no new content, but I'm reuniting with it soon.
I've just ordered a heavy duty clutch to upgrade my standard one - I might give few rally events a go.
Also, few other projects being built over last few months, soon to be completed

A definite lottery win purchase, just lovably insane. I'd use it to pop down to the supermarket just for the laughs. "Bag for life" on the passenger seat. Gloriously silly and the epitome of English eccentricity/stupidity.

As for washing it, take it to a commercial jet wash and leave the muck there - sorted.

Supermarket! Amateurish...
I've used it to move!

My Atom regularly goes to Asda. I've also taken it to Ikea and to dump a huge pile of boxes at the tip.

This would be on the lottery win list easily. One of these, a 2-11 and a Noble M600. Job jobbed.

I like your thinking. Replace 2-11 with a Tuscan (Challenge) Racer and I’m game.

Mad pricing, even if I’m yet to see one on the road.

Never heard of a Tuscan Challenge Racer, had a google and love the exhaust routing.

They look awesome but I can't imagine cleaning one (something which has occured to me about all the exposed lightweight cars)

Like this:



But yes, it's a nightmare with exposed tubework and all the nooks and crannies that ensure, takes forever to clean. And you can see the shear amount of mud being washed down the concrete. You're talking 50kgs+ just in dirt/soil/gravel usually.

[belleair302]

I want one of these for driving on Caribbean islands and the terrible and somewhat flooded roads.
