Seems like you guys spent the afternoon being hoodlums and then sat around tickling each other's balls

As oppose to sitting quietly at home, alone, tickling ones own balls?

so much ownage.

I forgot to mention, while I was attempting to find the White Horse and driving around Uffington, Woolstone and Childrey, I saw a couple of these driving along together -



Didn't know what it was tbh (obviously haven't been paying attention recently) but saw x-bow on the side and just looked them up.... awesome looking machines. I assume they were local, I doubt you'd want to travel too far in those...

[Roger Red Hat]

looks like a angry transformer

Made by KTM aren't they? Done as a PR exercise to prove that bike manufacturers should never try to make cars.

Not as good as an atom, but more expensive.

[Sheaf]

Yeah, KTM.

They look cool IMO, I like the angular styling. Angry transformers are a good thing!

Sooo much carbon -



How expensive were they then? In fact I dont know how much an Atom is either... it's never come up, lol.

I always find it disconcerting though when you see a car on the road with drivers in crash helmets (tbh, I thought it was illegal to wear helmets in cars?) as it just seems so out of place and makes you feel like you've accidentally stumbled onto a track.

Saw a Radical round here once... I was like 'WTF' as it suddenly came round a corner going the other way and disappeared past me in no time.

[Roger Red Hat]

atom is about 35 i think

[munky]

No idea on the price... I was just quoting clarkson when he reviewed them on top gear

They do look kinda cool, a bit OTT in my opinion though. Carbon chassis/monocoque jobby is very cool though.

From what I can remember, they were slightly more money than the charged atoms, but not quite as fast and he really didnt like the handling. But it may have been a pre-production car, not setup properly or something like that?

[Vard66]

Funny, considering they were apparently given 'Sports Car of the Year, 2008' by Top Gear.

S/H prices seem to be anywhere between 30K and 40K, depending utterly on what their owners seem to think they're worth.

Still trying to find a new price.

[stefaclese]

Nevermind that Clarksons idea of handling is sliding the back end all over the place...

[Din]

Hmm... Lovetts appear to have two of those things atm, wonder if it was those two

[Roger Red Hat]

neraly 10k extra for a few thousand miles!

[Sheaf]

Dammit, I want one.

I dont think it was those two... the ones I saw had 'X-Bow' written in some kind of decals on the rear quarter somewhere... I'd not have been able to know what they were otherwise.
