Ariel Atom

Had an interesting game of 'cat and mouse' with an Ariel Atom on the way home - they are simply ballistic quick.....and look a lot of fun. I could stay with him, just, where appropriate and at least he pulled up alongside when I indicated off the motorway - and offered a nod of respect.

Those should come standard issue with an Ariel.

Took a ride in a Supercharged Atom around the Top Gear test track in the summer. It was so fugging quick we were being held up on the follow though by a McLaren MC12 4C...!

Fastest car I have ever been in. Period.

Klammer, are you going to be at the March of Dimes Drive for Babies at Road America in October? If so, we should meet up, I'll be driving the other e90 SG M3

Also, I believe the V8 in the V8 Atom are made just a few miles from where I live outside of Milwaukee.

Always thought the Atom was the greatest track day car. Would be amazing to own/drive one.
