Atoms in Aberdeen/shire

[PaulD86]

Just wondered if there were any Ariel Atom owners in or nearish Aberdeen who might be up for giving me some info? I'm contemplating buying one and a chat with an owner to to get more of a feel for what ownership would be like would be great if/before I decide to take the plunge would be much appreciated. I've been doing some reading but sometimes it's nice to talk to an owner as well.

Only one I know of is Northnoble down Dundee direction.

If your getting one of those let me know! Love a shot of one! this to replace the Preza?

[PaulD86]

I know there are at least two fairly locally including one in Westhill, but don't know if they are PHer cars. Yeah, it would be to replace the Scooby. Sadly I couldn't afford to keep two 'toy' cars. If I go for it I will let you know. Will also maybe give you a shout about an EVO/Impreza shoot some point (once my mate gets the issues with his EVO resolved...). How's the new car?

Yup. I've caught the Westhill based one heading out Alford way a few times. Hard to believe an Atom owner wouldn't frequent Pistonheads. I'm sure they will turn up soon.

There's another Aberdeen Atom owner who is a member on here but posts very infrequently. He has a 57 plate supercharged version. I'll drop him a line and see if he'll let you have a gander.

Yes...I have a 3 300 (2009 model)

Live in Broughty Ferry (Dundee) but work in Aberdeen. Happy to answer any questions etc you may have. They are great toys, have had mine for 18 months and cant think of anything I would rather have.......unless into hypercar territory!

Just took Paul out for a spirited run

Pretty sure he is now another convert

[PaulD86]

A huge thanks to northnoble for taking the time to talk Atoms and take me for a run in his car. I learned lots, had many questions answered and now have a much clearer idea of what I'm after. What an awesome bit of kit and I am indeed now 100% sold on the Atom.

Again, many thanks to northnoble. Much appreciated!

P.S. I'm still grinning like an idiot from the drive and the noise of the thing!
