Talking Drove an Ariel Atom Yesterday!

Kevin and I went out to Willow Springs yesterday to interview Jeremy Clarkson of TopGear. Unfortunately, his contract would not allow for him to take part in an interview, but we did get an interview with the director which will be available on HSPN soon.

Besides the interview, we got to meet and chat with Jeremy as well as drive the Ariel Atom.

Us with Jeremy:





And yes, the Atom WILL completely destroy your face!









Some *slightly* more normal looking shots:





It was quite a day!

How many bugs did you swallow with your mouth open while driving the Atom?

You guys were speeding down the pit road between Big Willow and Streets!

Yeah, that was not a good idea based on what happened later (I am writing my review now which tells all about what happened). With the opportunity to go zero to sixty in 2.8 seconds, it was a bit difficult to restrain myself.
