Hello all!

Harsh · 12-08-2009, 04:51 PM

I actually thought i'd done this before..but clearly not.

I've been a member for a while but mainly lurking but i've realised how friendly everyone is on here so i've begun posting a bit.

I tend not to live up to my username often so dont worry too much

I run a 2003 360 spider which i bought in 2007 with 7,500 miles on the clock.
it's just ticked over to 37,500 mils...i obught it to drive and i love it.

i also own a 2008 Ariel Atom 3 300, a 2002 E46 M3 cab with track suspension and brakes and a 2007 F150 Harley.

they all get driven.... a lot!

oh i also help to organise charity events at places like the Top Gear Test track and the ford proving grounds in conjunction with another prancing horse forum.

plus the odd driving tour too

so, errm hello! and happy

(i thought that was going to say driving! )

agree completely, hope my irreverent humour will be to your taste!

Hi Harsh, nice varied 'scuderia' you've got there. Wonder how you find the time to post driving all those babies. All the more appreciated

Boxer · 12-09-2009, 10:46 AM

Great to see you posting here.

JazzyO · 12-09-2009, 11:33 AM

Welcome! Very nice varied collection as IPF mentioned. I would love to experience driving an Atom one day, must be quite something. In fact, all these "frozen testes compulsory" kind of cars that come out of the UK have me strangely intrigued.... pure driving, nothing else (except discomfort

), that must be quite an experience.

Welcome to the contributors side Harsh.
Lovely taste in cars, 360 too and I just sold my E46 M3! Would love to hear your thoughts on the Atom - do you use it just for tracks or on road too?

Granucci · 12-09-2009, 03:06 PM

Welcome Harsh. post a pic or two of the 360

On the Atom, he normally waits for the storm of the season and then takes it out for a drive. Harsh redefines hardcore petrolhead. It is his Atom in this video:

There goes the neighborhood!

Boxer, by the way, I like that sculpture-like rear view mirror of your F50. Very nice.

I know the Atom is sick quick, but against the F50 is looks even more so: Did you have difficulty keeping up with it...betting so.

.

It was neck and neck up until about 120 mph.

Eve P · 12-15-2009, 01:09 PM

welcome and nice to see that you also believe it is a good thing to put some milleage on your cars!

Harsh · 12-15-2009, 01:38 PM

Hi everyone and thank you for the warm welcome.

The Atom is very extreme but by the same token it is also very civilised to drive. I use it when i can, on the road track and on tour.

I'm not actually driving it in Boxers video but i think it and the F50 would be very close indeed although it tops out at 150mph.

(having said that, Boxer can really drive so i might struggle!)

Welcome to "The Life" Harsh!

Let us know if you ever cross the pond and visit the Mid-Atlantic Region. I am sure WetPet can arrange a suitable entertaining event and introduce you to our region's members.

Silly question: Do you have Hooters bar/restaurants in London?
