Thanks Esther, I put a lot of thought, effort (& cash!!) into making the Speedster everything I wanted it to be. It's been (and still is) a real labour of love and I wish it didn't have to go....

Unfortunately, I only have a single garage and limited funds, so I have to move it on to make way for an Ariel Atom. I'm sure I'll be back to Speedster ownership in the future, but at the moment, I've got another itch to scratch!

Mark -

Too bad about selling your nice Speedster - too bad you couldn't put a lift in your single car garage and stack the Speedster and Ariel Atom.

Here's a link to pictures from a weekly car meet in my neighborhood. There are a couple of Ariel Atoms that frequent this meet - thought you might enjoy these pics? Best of luck in your endeavor!

Mark...an Ariel Atom!!! WOW!!, that is fantastic! I get up-dates from them frequently, I've contemplated doing the test drive but I know what will happen if I do it, then I will get the I wants, not sure that I can handle something like that, but Iam absolutely jealous of you right at this moment.... Have fun with your new toy. ~Esther
Cheers guys. There's no way I would sell the Speedster, unless there was something equally special replacing it. The Atom is a mental car and I feel now is the right time for a swap.. I'm sure at some point I'll come back to Speedster ownership, but right now I feel the need for speed!!

Cheers.
