I wonder if that's the same Ariel that made the Red Arrow and the Square
Four?
It certainly looked a lot of fun. Pity Santa's already been.

I was straight onto the website to have a look at them...which was running
rather slowly as probably a large proportion of Top Gear viewers were doing
the same.

That looked like one hell of a fun car, and the only thing that managed to
get round the test track faster was the Ferrari Enzo.....all for £20K or so.

It's certainly a third/toy car though...absolutely no thought for any other
use than driving...it was smashing!

Personally I don't trust that test track time board at all, on another
mailing list I'm on a chap was involved in the filming of Top Gear,
and when the bike-engined Radical was top of the board, the studio
segment where the time was posted was filmed *before* the car had gone
round the track as the weather was too bad for a run. The time posted
was just made up on the spot.

Also a few results have been a little hard to believe, for example a
stripped out Porsche and a stripped out Ferrari both posted exactly
the same time, down to the hundredths of a second which is unlikely
but not impossible. It's far more likely that politicking was
involved, not wanting to **** off Porsche or Ferrari.

They've also come up with some unrealistic performance statistics for
some cars, e.g. some time ago when they had 80's supercars versus
modern supercars, Clarkson stated that the Ferrari F40 had a 0-60 time
of 3.4 seconds or somesuch, which he said is faster than any other car
on the show. Well the F40's 0-60 isn't as fast as 3.4 according to
most sources I've ever looked at, whereas the McLaren F1's is 3.1,
which by my maths is faster than 3.4. I'm sure other people out there
who have seen something they know about covered on Top Gear have also
found it to be a little liberal with the truth.

The Atom is quite nice though, however I'd prefer an Ultima GTR, it's
an old-school racer along the lines of the Lola T70 and Ford GT40 (the
real one).
