GTP Cool Wall: Ariel Atom

[stig's helmet]

^ epic vader

 

[Dan_]

Sub-Zero.

Also, it's quite cool even with the added 300lbs of Famine's bro in it.

 

[Famine]

Famine, don't trick us to believe you actually drove this awesomeness.

The steering wheel is in front of the fat man.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

8 years more pies.



He's practically drowning in fanny (UK version, not US) and if his wife ever does actually leave him, he'll be spoiled for choice. Not that he would - or anyone should - go for a girl who loses underwear because of a car...

When we drove round his local retail park (really) everyone was stopping and pointing. Any more thumbs up and it'd have looked like a Homer Simpson food critic review.

Well I've seen some decent british fanny, so I guess thats good. And if he was single, the kind of girls that lose their panties over a car is the type of girl he'd be looking for when the weekend came. I didn't say those kind of girls are the ones you marry, or even bring home to momma, but they help keep the bed warm on the weekend.

"Thar, she blows" is still the best review.

 

[Famine]

They help keep your willy warm too, until you get some cream from the doctor.

 

[Kakumaki]

Sub-Zero everywhere.

 

[Mrs. Famine]

Famine's brother took me out in the Atom (the same day I took that picture of the two brothers sharing a brotherly moment) - I lost all of my eye water.

 

[Cano]

cool on a racetrack

uncool everywhere else.

Exactly the other way around. In a race track, you expect to find this kinda car and you see it and go "oh, nice"; in the streets you see one and it's like OMGWTFLOL

Also, in the racetrack, if you can't drive, the thing will NOT be fast. A friend that lives in Phoenix told me the other day that a guy arrived to a track day in one but he could not drive crap and he was like last to last place. then it becomes UNCOOL... but not as uncool as it's owner.

If you drive one in the streets... well, just ask Famine.

Subzero.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Subzero.

This thing can beat a Veyron to 60 that's how awesome it is!

 

[NoobMan DS]

Extremely quick, with simple but really dashing appearance that should fit with anything so agile....

Sub-Zero!

Epic Win

 

[Tommi]

SUB ZERO

All it needs is some machine guns mounted at the front then it'd be in the ice box!.

*Vader*

21st century TIE fighter?.

 

[Enigma]

It would be amazing to drive one on a track but I was just thinking how I would feel sitting at a set of traffic lights in this car, I would feel very self conscious in a bad way.

Thats not cool

 

[niky]

That's what the Vader mask is for.

SUB ZERO21st century TIE fighter?.

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually outhandled a TIE Fighter.... and unlike a TIE Fighter, it could probably hit warp speed all by its lonesome (geek alert: TIE Fighters have no hyperdrive ).

 

[Stotty]

Reasonably cool as a trackday car (though there are now much quicker track day toys than an Atom), seriously uncool as a road car.

This high-powered pod, then. It's at least the same shape. or similar.

 

[niky]

Actually... I think it'd look more at home in the Pod Races than out in space...

 

[Bones Brigade]

Seriously uncool.

[niky]

Why?

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ I agree, you need some explaining why Bones.

 

[Neal]

Ditto, best make it good

 

[Havok_]

SUB ZERO. I would do very bad things to have a few hours on a track with this little rocket. I wonder if it's going to be in Gt5...hmmm

 

[Murcie_LP640]

It's performance makes it cool, the Caterham R500 makes it uncool.

Meh.

 

[Stotty]

And a Radical makes them both look a bit slow and old fashioned.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ But with the Radical, as what Clarkson stated:



Hammond: "You said it was the fastest on four wheels, but it isn't! There are track day cars (ie. Radical) that are faster than this."

Clarkson: "But you see, I don't see it as a track day car because it can go thru a speed bump, so it can go to our power board..."

(sorry for the poor interpretation)

 

[Bones Brigade]

Why?

The only people crowding around and salivating over you/the car will be little boys and adult men who haven't grown up. Plus it's a track use car. (Road legality aside.) How many times do we have to go over this?

Don't get me wrong, if I had the bones I'd be driving one of these every where I go.

 

[Famine]

As indeed my brother does. He's racked up more miles on it since he bought it in 2005 than on all the other cars he's owned in that time put together...

S'cuse me - so you are saying adult men who havn't grown up are less cool than those who have?

And driving a car that is so whacky and outrageous that it gets the little boys gawking (much like a Zonda, Ferrari, Lambo, etc) yet is a much better car economically (fuel and finicially wise) is also not cool?

Ok then.

^ Well thats the beauty of the Atom. It brings the sophisticated and successful numb adult executive to bring out his inner 5 year old happy-go-lucky reckless little kid, the brings out the inner child in you unlike the Radical or any serious sports and track-based car for that matter.

Don't get me wrong, if I had the bones I'd be driving one of these every where I go.

^ Wait...isn't it your name Bones?

 

[FLASH48]

I will vote cool. Would invest that 49,000.00 dollars in a Shelby GT 500 instead. The reason for cool, is because it looks like it lost some body parts.
