Did it not occur to you that this is the MEV forum with many die hard fans that maybe insulted ? Atom owners don't flash up on our sales radar, they are not builders, all they do is write out a cheque for a car. Personally I am very pleased to read the nonsense you kindly linked for us it as it reminds us that MEV is a real threat to Atom owners. I read this stuff years ago and was delighted that the considerably lower cost MEV was being compared to the Atom. Today you can build a car that handles far better than an Atom for a fraction of the price, it's called G-type Exocet.  |

just a bit of fun. no insult intended. apologies to those that i offended
Mev owners carry spanners and atom owners carry AA/Rac cards.
I would hope most would see the funny side. I certainly did. As the newbie i better crawl under a rock for now.
Admin feel free to delete my post.

I'm sure rocket owners will not feel insulted by these threads on another site being brought to their attention, not everyone will like the rocket, and people have the right to their opinion,
Maybe after spending the amount of money they have on their atoms, they need to justify it?
Stuart- being that the rocket is your baby I can see why the comments will get your back up but I think all tickets owners will read the comments and just smile to themselves knowing just how fun the rocket is, also the pride in driving something that you built yourself I'm sure can't be beaten

I can see why Stuart got a little bit miffed, however Chill Stiggy, let those that have never driven / ridden in or built one scoff, sit back and smile at the sales figures! Everyone knows what an awesome car the rocket is (and I'm a Sonic builder / owner) and everyone who matters is on this forum, not theirs.  |

I don't think there is need to delete at all.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion and each has their own reasons for owning the car they do.
Personally it was the existence of the Atom, specifically Clarkson's famous Atom review, that put me on to finding the Rocket. I was "going to buy an Atom when I won the lottery", then I realised that with that attitude I was always going to be without.
For what I spent I probably could have bought an Atom (or so it seems sometimes) but I reckon I would have sold it by now.
What the Rocket offered to me was more than simple ownership, it is an outlet for tinkering and toying in the shed which the Atom never would offer.

Of course everyone is entitled to an opinion. Forums are just the place, everyone can hide behind a user name and stick the boot in. Fact is the keyboard jockies are hardly likely to voice the same opinions in a pub face to face with an owner of what ever it is they feel the need to slag off. My point is that the comments (of which I was well aware of years ago) should not be promoted on this forum. Personally I have no issue with the opinions, I don't sell Rocket. Did that got the tee shirt and moved onwards and upwards to Exocet. For those interested in my opinion of Atom read on.   |
