Well looks like i may be keeping the beast awhile longer then i planned.. :shock: because im not letting it go 4 silly money as its on the floor already :roll:. These cars are truly the bargain supercars of the world !! its very strange that they are sooooooooo over looked. i guess if there was a prancing horse on the front we'd be looking at £20,000 min......but then i would never have got to buy one i suppose :wink: ........................but really these are worth so much more.

as an aside went out in my mates new Atom 245 yesterday......aaarrrrgghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........
never really ever thought that i would own a gta, but am i happy that i do!!.

Glad to hear that John,especially after all the trouble Lee and yourself went to last year tracing the faulty ign unit :wink: I must say I was surprised to see that you wanted to sell the Alp as at the bottom of all your posts you stated:-

Anyway get her back on the road, and go out...have fun...and turn some more heads :lol: ..you know it makes sense :)

Cheers

They're a bit quick arent they. I too have a mate with one, but to be honest it's too lethal for the road.

Yes your right, went out in the Atom for a 20 min blast, i knew that it would be fast and my friend went all out to prove it too!!.

his Atom is all uprated with suspension and brakes and he wrang its neck , red lining and going round bends far faster then the Alpine can manage...................when we got back i told him that the only place for this car is the track and that it would be awsome there.................but on the road driving like that he would not last a year.

the Alpine is more fun because even though its performance levels are lower you reach them on the right side of sain.
