Saw an Ariel Atom today
It was driving down Hillcrest. From a distance, you can't see the driver because the seat is so low. Since it was cold, he was wearing a ski hat and goggles.
Cool car though.

Yup. There's a bunch of them in Texas. They're looking at forming a molecule (a regional Atom club).

I drove the Cayman twice in 28 degree weather with no drivers' side window. First was right after the breakage, and they'd stolen my jacket & hat too. So I was a bit miserable until the car warmed up and kept the speeds down. Later I picked a body shop about 35 miles away and on a sunny cold afternoon (26F), drove there at my usual speeds on the NJTP with the window down (Ed. I mean absent). I had a hat & jacket. I didn't think of goggles but I almost needed them as my eyes watered a bit. I actually quite enjoyed that drive. Last edited by equ; 02-12-2007 at 10:23 AM. |

If an atom owner brings a Porsche to a molecule, does that make it an ion?

They should form boron, isn't that a foul smelling gas?
I guess it is a cool car, I don't see the real use of it though other than to be trendy. |
