Thoughts on chopping in the atom...

Lately I've been considering selling my atom for something more useable. The contenders are a cayman 981 gts or a cayman 987 R. I have really enjoyed owning the atom but it is just so unpractical! With my turbo seeming to spend most it's life off the road I am left with no useable toy. Am I mad to be considering this?

Thoughts please...
 
I reckon you are thinking like this because its mid winter, if it were summer you'd be using the atom all the time. If you bought a Cayman, as soon as your 911 is fully up to speed, you wouldn't use it. Get a £1000 mx5 to play in right now, then sell in the summer and get you money back. :thumbs:

100% :wack:

It's the most fun thing I have been in since I had my bike :?:

That's the answer, you should buy a motorbike! :bike:

Funny a mate of mine is doing the same thing, he loved the atom but he never tracked it and it just hardly used. I told him to get a cayman gts!! Great fun all year round!!

Yes. End of discussion :D
 
Morgan 3-wheeler :thumb: Given your line up I'd stick to something different. A 981/987 and the 996TT won't get driven :hand:
 
:floor: you guys! It all makes sense though! Not having the turbo is the problem. You're right when I get my turbo back I'll be driving that and the atom is hard to beat in the summer. The weather looks good tomorrow. Maybe il try and get out in the atom.
 
Having driven one at Palmersport, an Atom is also on the list of possible track cars I fancy - the grip is outstanding!

There's an Atom that floats around near me driven by a chap with a helmet with big teeth on it - is that you by any chance?
