richglanzav Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 hey guys im putting this on here, tgtt, and mx5nutz as a reminder for us all. my work colleague's partner recently bought himself a new toy - an ariel atom 260 (non-supercharged). and despite being a very good driver who is used tovery quick cars, he lost control and the car has been heavily damaged. unsure of whether it will be a write off or repairable. i know its an atom and a different league to a starlet, but its still a reminder to us all to be careful in the greasy conditions as he lost control despite barely even touching the throttle at the time. luckily all involved only suffered minor injuries. the picture tells the story.

richglanzav Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 dunno mate he took me for a spin in it and it was fine. hes very careful and respected the car massively as you need to driving one of these missiles on the road. but he said he just tickled it ever so slightly before he had straightened up and the back end broke loose and thats the result lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
