Yeah dude... Did you see Clarkson's face? His skin looked like it was peeling off!
Wonder whether it'll be LTA approved anot.

Watched it from an old Top Gear episode from last season...

Yeah.. Clarkson said it made him look like the Elephant man!! HAHA

The amazing thing is that it is street legal in the UK!!! I am not sure if LTA will use that as a basis for homologation :P

I'd buy that!! What a track car!!

Not only for the track ok... It's so nifty. No doors. Ultimate coolmobile. But I think I'll wear a helmet just because I don't want insects on my face.

Fifth Gear oso did a review of it.. but they didn't seem as hot in it..

They drove it through a car wash to demonstrate how impractical it was.. THE DOLTS!!!

While I like Tiff and Vikki from Fifth Gear as presenters (Tiff is especially good technically), the overall production quality of Fifth Gear just isn't as good.

Fifth Gear is alright. I especially liked the episode where they tested the new Boxster against the Z4.
But the Atom is alittle impractical. I don't see the car going over the majority of road humps in Singapore.

Did you see the one where Tiff reviewed the E60 M5?

OH JOY!!!

Generally I like it when Tiff and Vikki present.. but the other two blokes.. BLEAH

[jaskin]

Yeah I caught that one. It wasn't very spetacular. He drove with all the travel gear inside! Tiff's a great driver.
