    Yeah, I have.

    I love that program!

    Does anybody remember the article Jeremy Clarkson wrote ( For Street Machine I think ) about a Hot Rod Fat Fender Ford?

    I hate that car...

    but only because its so badass, so fast, so perfect that when I go in to business making the same type of thing it will be very tough to match.

    I think I can beat it though :)



    Oh, and I just got myself the same helmet The Stig wears... now I just need his skills.

    I gotta get out of college first, and find some investors... lots of investors. I know a niche that needs filling, I just hope no one beats me to it.

    I can't imagine running that thing all out without a windshield. The first time you hit a June bug or locust at speed, you'd have a hole in your forehead.

    I'd still like to do it though.:D

  11. I don't know what to say..... That is the reason to play with hot rods and sports cars.

    I'm actually on the waiting list, and I've already put two deposits down on this thing.

    I think I'm in the first five to get one, right along with Jay Leno. Delivery should be in late April.

    More info is at: www.arielatom.com.

    They recently used a 245 bhp Ecotec at the GM proving grounds, and ran a 2.8 0-60, and did the quarter in under 12 seconds. Lateral acceleration was something like 1.2 G's, on stickier tires than I'm gonna get.

    It's a little bit different from my 21-stud Deuce...

  14. It's not traditional.

    Altough with a '29 Model A grille, cowl, and doors it could be pretty dang sweet.

    Remember Lads that thing is Brit biult and that was Jeremy Clarkson who does stuff like that all the time.He does however prefer to catapult cars he don't like in the air with a big erm catapult ,trouble is we get people who drive cars like that on the road here...............Marq
