    I thought you guys would get a kick out this. My girlfriend sent this over to me. Her boyfriend is driving the 360 in the video.

    ...who says you can't do a burnout in an F1!

    Frances,
    That looks like an Ariel Atom with an electric motor in it. I went to the website but didn't learn much. Thinking about an Atom for a track day car.
    Sorry but have a wedding on fine dining night, and I have news that my #2 daughter got engaged with the wedding in April 2007. May limit my next year of toy purchases.

    I don't get it. Why are you confused? She thought I would think it was cool to see her beau participate in the demonstration. What's wrong with that?

    I'm so sorry. I didn't notice that you're a "racerette". I just assumed that you were a guy, hence the confusion. Sorry, my bad. I feel really stupid now.

    But back to the original topic. I love this! I was just talking with a Prius driving co-worker the other day that the day I go electric is the day they have a fun-to-drive convertible electric sportscar. And here it is! I love the Atom and now, it's electric. The only thing missing is the sound element. That's half of the experience right there. If those runs weren't against the 360 and the CGT, it would have been total silence. Where's the fun in that. I might just have to rethink my comment to my co-worker.

    That's o.k. I can see why if you thought I was a guy, that "I" would be the one driving the 360, being her boyfriend and all. LOL.

    You are right. I used to rideshare in an electric car...it is a buzz kill that the car made no noise at all when accelerating. No rumble or roar. Just a low buzz like the sound of a mosquito.
