Tempted... I might just adopt Clarkson's voice for my internal monologue from now on though...

'[b]The Yeti[/b] is the most pointless forumite...' etc

I watched a bit of it...it looked like it's continuing on the course of mediocrity, is it worth watching the rest to find out?

they seem to have lost some of the more ridiculous schoolboy humour, but still think they're funnier than they actually are
saying that, they're still funnier than John Bishop...

I like the Yeti, it'd be a great replacement for my Octavia, if I had the money. I [i]really[/i] want the Atom. Dear me, yes.

Not impressed, in fact I got quite bored and normally I like Top Gear. Photography was good as always but other than that, all pretty dull.

LOL @ Emma82 though!

I have driven the indy circuit at Brands in a 911 when an old Atom was on it and it absolutely blew every thing else away, so this new one will be totally bonkers!

Best thing to do with a Beetle. If they dropped it on a VW camper van that would be even better

'dude', why don't you try and be clever and read the thread and see if any posts could be construed as misogynistic?

edit - balls I'm losing my touch. When did you lot get so fast at typing!

I really want the Atom and the Yeti too. KTM make something akin to the Atom, met a guy a couple of years ago driving one around Berkshire County Fare, bonkers to say the least.
The Yeti looks a perfect car to me in the 4x4 version with an oil burner.
Having said that this collection of 911s was amazing. Dreamy big time.

so a car worth 150 grand is slightly quicker than a what 14 grand bike.

Will be interesting to see if Tiff Needell will be the Stig long term or whether it was just a one off.

The race things are very rarely races anyhow and the car would have blitz the bike in the corners and under braking.

Really? No!?! Say it ain't so Joe! You mean stuff is set up for the cameras and mostly neanderthal male audience? Shocka!

LOVED THE ATOM. I can't think of words especially keeping up with a bloody Superbike.

Hate the star in the car thing now and the Jackass/Henry Rollings tattoo was a blatant and lame/pointless copy.

I love the Atom, even more than the R500 now. Oh I want one. WANT.

Saw the bit about the Yeti. Why is everyone (including Clarkson) ignoring the fact that it looks like something designed by motability?

so a car worth 150 grand is slightly quicker than a what 14 grand bike.

Looking carefully (And I've seen a few bike races in my time...) the rider wasn't giving it the full monty in the corners either. There was too much clear space between his feet and the ground. I think he'd either not had enough time to learn the track or it was too cold to go any faster on road tyres.

The race was pretty much as I expected though. Bike first off the line and pulled harder low down but BHP always wins at speed so the Atom reeled him in as they went faster and was able to outbrake the bike as it should have been able to. I do love that Atom though. 🙂

Sienna Miller only marginally less appealling than the Atom

I've been looking at Atom prices since they came out and unfortunately they do not appear to be coming down in price second hand, but I think there is a big weighting list for new.

Although a nice car, I think it would be unusable on the road, 900bhp per tonne on a damp summers day would not be fun. Even the 250bhp/300 bhp models would be hard enough to drive even if they only do 0-60 in a slow 3.5 seconds.

According to MCN it was also too bumpy to get the power down.
