There are 3 of the 20 still available from dealers (at least 1 of which is unregistered)

you awful man, don't tell me things like that...

[BenchMaster]

Am seriously tempted. Doubt I'll get hold of one of these, only 20 have been made and will already be snapped up.

Don't forget the flat cap

And make sure the boot is big enough to fit your golf clubs and the whippet carrier.

At 37 i'm getting like that too, the porsche has just became a pain in the *rse... just too cramped. Never use it, and prefer the merc. Grand touring for me from now on! I guess in 3 years it's pretty much jag or aston time, with pipe and slippers too ;-)

Love cars like that, but as my back gets more and more problems, do like the more comfy fast cars!

Ah how i remember it well, 12 miles of automotive fun, just before it overheated and went back to the garage as usual. Shame really, beautiful cars, just wish they were driveable more often.

There is a touch of a the casino with them (certainly the older models) but I got some good guys looking after mine (Racing Green, Ash Vale) and I've done 42,000 on the clock, including a 5000 miles trip around Europe (inc Romania, Hungary and Croatia) with absolutely no problems.

I also used it as a daily work car for several years again, with no problems (apart from a flat battery and a dodgy first clutch that went after 15,000 miles).

6000 service interval as it's pretty much a race engine. But, it's handbuilt, doesn't have the budgets for reliability testing but you just cannot beat the driving experience - totally raw, scary, noisy as ***, teeth and buttock clenching invigorating driving experience.

The Griffith I had before the Tuscan was far more problematic with overheating, total undrivability etc.

I bought one of these - an automotive laxative for those uncomfortable bloated moments.

Love the JPS colours on the Ziggy though.

Lovin' that, but also love the Nissan GTR.

However, I have had sports cars before (Porches and 350Z) and they are nothing but trouble.

Both were keyed, and even though the cars egged me on to drive fast, I could still only go 70 MPH.

I am now more of a £700 20 year old Beamer kind of guy.

The money pays for hols and mortgage pay off instead......

Back to the Atom - No body work - so can't be keyed
Back to the Atom - 0-60 in about 2.7.... (circa 2.9/3.0 to 70) - so legal and hair raisingly/frightningly fast

Get the nice new windscreen and you don't even need to wear a helmet!

It looks better in the flesh (white in my case).

And you just need to close your eyes and hear it..

I see plenty of them in the city, the fact it's an Audi puts me right off.

The ultimate noddymobile!

Could buy a lotus, only snag is Mr Norr will not fit in it

Audi R8 V10.. in blue and silver

I had one of these pass me as I was walking down the road.

Just the sound of it behind me literally stopped me in my tracks. I just had 'a moment' while it passed me by, stopped at a little roundabout just ahead and lazily squirted around it...

Please don't...

I saw one (not the V10) in my street when they first came out. It was unattended so I had a good ogle.

Want ... one ...
