Looks like they've got the V8 Atom!
Cant wait for the review of that.

Martin F · 22nd December 2010, 07:24 PM

Yep, saw it last night and thought the US challenge was pretty good.

I don't think they like the Stig anymore. Not been in the shops because of the flu but are they still selling his stuff with the rest of their tat?

V · 23rd January 2011, 07:33 PM

Just noticed its on in half an hour!

AND ITS THE ATOM

Martin F · 23rd January 2011, 09:19 PM

£150k for an Atom is pretty damn steep!

Looked like a fun drive though

V · 24th January 2011, 07:03 AM

yup, but i love them, and if i had £150k i'd buy something else.
I'd get the cheap version

V · 24th January 2011, 07:04 AM

although i think £40k is still pushing it!

I wasn't impressed with the Atom, looks like they've sacrificed some of it's legendary handling for grunt.

It's now priced in the Aston Martin DBS zone and I don't care if it is quicker I know which I'd buy. It's not how fast you go, but how good you look doing it.

Also I don't like the F1 style front splitter and rear wing.

(old one is better). imo

Yeah. for £150k i'd buy the 300bhp Atom and a second hand F430 F1 and stil have a fair bit of change left for new clutches :-)

I still like it though...
