I'm glad you posted about that car. I remember seeing that TG episode and just drooling... 0-60 in less than 3 seconds, if you shift fast enough...and seeing Jeremy Clarkson's face almost get sucked into the supercharger was so entertaining! ;D Cool pictures, by the way.  |

Does this Atom belong to somebody around here? Is it street registered? I've been drooling over getting one for several months now (still far too broke, and probably will be for quite a while), and was wondering how difficult it is to get one registered/insured here in NC.

The all black one is in California. I think the other one is in Oregon. Don't know of one in NC.

Does anybody know of any Atoms around here in use? I'd love to see on in action at a track or autocross nearby.

Huh...Morgan was doing this stuff years ago., They would use J.A.P. engines mainly.
There was also a kit vehicle available a dozen years ago in England that used a Citroen 2CV engine up front.
Of course, a Citroen 2CV engine is good order makes about 11 bhp.

And rather than me drool over that, I would just fall asleep.
