Nice photos David!

Wow...that's quite a car! I'm impressed. How's the seat fit?

 

[ultimateforce]

Ok, now flat black it!

Hot damn! I wanna see pics of David with his cheeks pulled to his ear, like Clarkson when he drove the Atom! :lol: <--like that

The Recaros cost $1100 more and Dave said they raised the seating position too high.

The whole bench/double bucket is FRP. It's adjustable as a unit by repositioning two bolts on each side into different holes to move it up or back. There is a nice foot rest for the passenger to brace themself against. The floor is the tub, just one layer of CF, so you have to be careful not to put your full weight on it when getting in and out.

I've read about this car in evo magazine since 2000 (when it used to have Audi power and then Honda power). Even though I can appreciate the engineering I never really cared for the looks before but now I'm really digging the black paint job. With Mr. Woolery's Atom everything has finally clicked for me and I am beginning to understand the beauty of this car. The reflections on the nose cone look evil, like some sort of futuristic battleship.

Damn man. Major props to your photography. Woah.

He is really good.

FYI, Peter, he was using a fill flash with a diffuser on it and aiming it away from the car. I think that's what gives in the even lighting with no hot spots like I always get with the flash aimed directly at the subject. Plus, of course he's using an SLR with real lenses, not the size of the fingernail on my little finger!

thanks for the compliments on the photos. Yeah I use a 20D slr and the lens all those were taken with was a 12-24mm, so its really wide angle. And yeah I had a little dohickey called a "Lightsphere" on my flash, but partially I lucked out with having a big white surface above the car to bounce the flash off!

Now David needs to get the baddest helmet ever! Something that looks like Darth Vader!

Hehehe... if you only knew. :twisted:


BTW, I am REALLY impressed with Dave's photography! Dave, if you ever want to do a full on photoshoot, let me know. I'd love to get pics done under ideal conditions. (please oh please oh please) [-o<

Man, I got a lot to learn from you. I hope to see you at the next meet and check out the gears.

that thing was so much more amazing in person.

I think I made a mistake in getting the Atom. The turn radius is too wide, the power is too flicky, and I'm just not "getting it".

Hey David - are you seriously having second thoughts on the ATOM? Or was this post on Pointless just a "poke"? Confuzzeled! :-s

Naw, I was just kidding...it was lightly poking fun at Mokkers' Bimmer experience. I love the Atom!

Ok - I had that in mind - but just wanted to be sure before I pull out my check book and book a flight to CA.
