Hi Rick

Check this page: http://www.arielatomexperience.com/

They do VIR

I tried a Lotus Elise this weekend - That is a super nice and fun car to drive :adore:
I did not fit that well with my size body structure.

Cu,

Top Gear segment on the Atom

For those who are fans of Top Gear, Jeremy did a quite glowing review of this car, but at the expense of motorcycles?!?!? Jeremy essentially says that it is better than a sportbike, more fun, a better track weapon etc. Clearly Jeremy has never had his knee down. Anyway, still a cool looking car, here is the segment

And for those who have never seen Top Gear, segment one of the southern road trip, a good introduction (and featuring the Stig's Fat American Cousin!!!!)

Lars thanks for the link.I called VIR to see how much for a day.He said it was about $800 for half a day and $1900 for a full day.He said if there is seven people or more he might could get the price lowered some.So don't I'll be doing that cause I'm doing some racing next year.He did say he drove it and it was incredible.0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds is real fast for a car.

I am not surprised Clarkson prefers a car to a motorcycle. He doesn't like bikes :
