Sorry to hear the troubles continue
Will you keep her when you get her back or would she remind you of bad times?
I remember you being quite keen on the Atom.....

mines was off the road from the 27th of december until the 7th of april, but i was waiting for sincs to develop there honda kit, using my car for some of it, so cant complain.

Pah amateurs
I had an Audi eat a gearbox a week before i was going to join a ship so i left it in local garage.
4 months later came home and the feckers had taken the gearbox out and lost half the bits and had not fitted the replacement box.
They then fitted it and a few days later on the way to aberdeen from glasgow the gearbox damn near dropped out. Sunday lunchtime i crawled into a Kiwk-Fit to put the car on the ramps and i bolted the box in properly

Haven't decided yet. Severly pissed off though. We'll be back to winter at this rate. Hoping to visit the Ariel stand on Sunday at the Motor Show

The Atom is off the coolness scale in my book. The supercharged version looks scarily quick - 550 odd bhp per ton - yikes

Would make absolutely any Elise/Exige feel slow in comparison.

Just come off the phone with Bill so it looks like things might actually progress with mine now! Still, at least it isn't off the road.

Sucks Andy - Are they paying or is that still in dispute?

I wish MMC the best of luck in dealing with the well-meaning amateurs at Noble.

6 motnhs a Wallyford once. Got it back and it needed new disks as they had rusted up... And even then it hadn't been done right...

On the Ariel - a well driven Exige would have it in the corners
