Thanks to the Alpine Tour, I've got some news from his friend Eddy (220 red). Pascal is much better now.
He can stand up and moon walking will follow in few weeks.  :tu:

Anyone know if there is any crash test data available on Atoms? I know we don't do it here to satisfy our SVA and make the car legal, but surely the americans must be way stricter??????????
Does anyone know if anyone has ever crash tested an atom?
Are there any plans to do so?
If all us owners clubbed together and put in say 1000 quid each....could we organise a crash test??????
I bet it costs loads to do a full NCAP, but we could reduce costs by getting Hedge to drive it.
ANy thoughts???????????????
Obviously the line about Hedge driving is slightly tongue in cheek as I believe you need to be up to around 30mph to do a crash test effectively

Bad move.................. the forum hasn't got enough bandwidth for the 8 billion page dissertation we would get from him.

I didn't actually crash into anything hard, that was someone else.  ::)

Hopefully I'll have my new radiator cooling fan fitted by the weekend so I'll be able to follow you around and see how to increase my speed up to the 40 mph I believe you acheived once, going downhill with a strong wind from behind as I recall.  ;D

I tried looking for it with no luck.

there is none.......I asked the factory. Pascal's car took a pounding but still held together. Best advice is to not crash
