I have been on the mailing list for some time now... Here is the email I got today... If anyone is interested! I just wish there was one near me!

Dear Stephen,

Coming fast to a track near you! Announcing….the sensational new Ariel Atom Experience.

With professional instruction, lots of wheel time, a full array of quality event features & amenities and a choice of some great tracks, you won’t want to miss out on this limited opportunity.

Our new Ariel Atom Experience http://www.arielatomexperience.com website is up and ready to accept your reservation now. Check it out!

And don’t forget to “surf in” to Jay Leno's website at http://www.jaylenosgarage.com to see Jay's review of the Atom 2.

We also have one Honda powered Ariel Atom 2 available, so please give us a call or reserve this last unit now by visiting http://www.arielatom.com/index.php?o...form&Itemid=49

Ahh the Ariel Atom, what a classic! I've been looking at every angle possible to import one of these into Thailand without the 380% taxes, but to no avail :(

Your watch is broken.

I clocked a 9.25. It is on Youtube. I could get into the mid to high 8's on aftermarket rubbers in warm weather, but thats it... and thats with a few mods.
