crazy..off topic video...insane..!!!
sorry for the off topic...however, this is the sickest video in a while. Look for the acceleration test and watch the guys face!!! comes in about 1/4 point in the video. I could not stop laughing for like 5 minutes. I almost pee'd myself...
lol warning...big video so high speeders only http://www.openwheelers.com.au/videos/Top_Gear_Ariel_Atom_2_Full_segment.mpg

Hot diggity I enjoyed that little clip! Thanks for posting. I'm afraid to go back to the forum now because of the Carrera GT crash...can't cope. Jack, Tyson, the dude with the white Carrera --the cop...
You guys be the fuk careful. The board would suck of something happened to one of you. In fact, it would be ruined--at least for me.

I thought I was going to be moving it to off-topic. Instead, I'm wishing I had one.

Instead of OT you might want to delete this whole thread. It's got me considering selling all my stuff and getting one of those Atoms. Hell with all the the civics in the junk yard here I could have a couple extra motors for spares.

again, i apologize for the off topic...I knew it doesn't belong here. However, I enjoyed it so much i could not help myself.
Speaking of which... Are either of these shows shown on american tv? Top gear and 5th gear? I have seen several clips of these shows and really enjoy the hosts and format of the show. There is one on the carrera gt and the gt3...if i can find em again.
