OT: Australian Ariel Atom launch last night..

Sorry Looney, Id take a Ariel Atom 2 over a Lotus unless it was an Exige

 

Id still rather have an Elise I think. Although this cars performance is awesome! I dont really love the look of them. Actually, id rather have a Ferrari 3x8 series for that sort of money. But each to their own. If you want one mate, go for it. At least I can tell my mates that I know someone who owns one.

 

i'm with speedy, don't think i want an elise nowadays, but an Exige is definitely top 5 material. don't know anyone in adelaide with one

only <$200k ferrari i'd want is the GT4, the rest are a bit... cliche for my tastes.

 

actually, Lotus 340R is another candidate performance wise, and *sort of* has similar looks, but just doesn't pull it off.

decent though: http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=156985

 

Thank you

 

surely your car is worth over $200K though John.....

 

bugger him !!!

he hasn't got a clue, I've had the GT4 and loved it but the QV is miles ahead in al depts except for the number of people it can carry.

and anyway our cars must be well over $200k

 

is it possible to get an atom as a single seater?

 

Too heavy now?

 

yes
well, actually i find it a bit 'fat' looking when viewed front on - imo it would look sleeker with only one seat. Although that would put your head directly in front of the intake

 

the GT4 is just unpopular enough for me to love it, plus i'm a sucker for (almost) anything Bertone, the others are great but i couldn't love them as my own, good to have friends with them though....

 

Yep

The number is reducing by the minute

 

What John? The number of friends he has or the number of friends with cars?

 

I guess I can add "12 Cylinder Cliche" driver to my new found title as 'International Motoring Book Expert" in the Weekend Australian today...

 

BTW Ash, you had better start the diet now and cut out the VB. You can't have a car like that and weigh 20% of the vehicle weight...

 

WTF - both you and DiCandilo as multi media legends!

I'll have to buy a copy - I don't usually, I can't afford it

 

I'll autograph your copy for you John - that will add $$$$ to the value!

 

huh? i only live on my 5 daily vitamins, vitamins VB and KFC.

what else is there?

 

elephant spoof for the hair

 

they come in pints

 

literally, thats why i have such beautiful locks......darling

 

Awesome little car, I think that I would pick it over Elise and Exige, but I think I would take a Exige S The performance of this thing is absolutley unreal, imagine this pulling up next to you at the lights, then seeing it tear off like a jet engine is strapped to it!
