Nothing else quite like it 😍 Never have so it'll be a bit of a learning curve. 3.5 Supercharged with a good spec. Don't have it yet, it's going to the factory next week for a service then I've got to head down and pick it up from the current owner sometime next month.

Many years riding motorcycles around the North of Scotland will hopefully have prepared me a bit. Plus, this example has the perspex side panels too. If that fails, heated clothing is next on the list. 👍 Edited February 17, 2021 by namastebuzz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been a fan of the Atom Yeah I've always wanted one since that TG test as well. Thing is, I never thought I'd get one. Generally I don't have £40k sitting round to spend on a toy and I never contemplated having the money to run an exotic car either. Two things happened. First, I came into some money that is going to be invested in a house but not for another 3-4 years. Secondly, I'd noticed some of the newer Atom 4s getting sold at well over their initial build cost and, by extension, started looking at the residuals of Atom 3s and noticed they suffer almost zero depreciation. Digging further I figured out that they're about as complex as a Honda Civic. Tyres are £100. A clutch is £220 and a service at the factory is £500. £300 road tax and 30-35mpg. Insurance is reasonable too. Contrast that with running a Lambo or Ferrari. I supposed that I could buy and run an Atom for a year or two without losing a lot of money, especially if I bought the right one. I seriously considered putting a deposit on a 4 because I could've ordered a lowish spec 4 for under £45k and definitley have sold it for a profit after a year (or even 2) of use. However, the 28 month wait for a 4 would eat into my potential 3/4yr window of ownership by far too much so 2nd hand it was. So, the great experiment begins shortly. It's hopefully excellent Man Maths or some sort of reverse-engineered bangernomics. Getting a super low mileage, top spec, carefully owned car with full factory history is a good start. It's gonna cost me a few grand to own and run it for a couple of years but whatever it costs - it'll be less than the friggin 54 plate Volvo XC70 we ran for the last two years. That's for sure. 😬 Edited February 17, 2021 by namastebuzz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
