That'll be because you went to the wrong page,
however, we've made it easier now..
you can either go to
http://www.petrolheadnirvana.com/torque/
or http://www.petrolheadnirvana.com/
and yes, of course there'll be plenty of passenger opportunities.
when i get it back that is....

Are you coming to Donington on the 16th or the S2ki day at Anglesey Bachi?
What you need to do now (if you don't know already
) is learn to drive it quickly though the corners. Every Atom i've seen on a trackday seems to be driven by a straight line junky who floors it on the straights and slows down to a crawl for the corners.
Fantastic car. Very jealous

What i dont know is probably quite a lot....
however as you know, i'm not one to think i know more than i do..
it's quick on the straight for sure but the cornering is amazing
i intend to invest in some serious driver training...
but trackdays are imminent, as long as we can get time off the new project!

Practice and experience makes Bachi a faster driver
There will be a few of us at Donington on the 16th and then quite a few of us at Anglesey in October. Would love to see you both with your various cars there

Bachi, bit of advice if I may.
Having the site closed like that, with a requirement to register, will reduce numbers interested. E.G I wouldn't register *just* to see what is going on, I want to see what is going on first then decide to register.
That doesn't mean there can't be closed parts inside, but it puts me off in the first instance.
It also means that search engines will not spider it.
Hope that is helpful feedback Best of luck with it.
PS is it non profit or profit making?

thanks for the tips, as i mentioned before, it wasn't meant to be like that, however i've not spoken to the holy webmaster and he has sorted it, so it can be viewed without registering, however you'll still have to register to post
(it was something to do with anti spam he said, but you know me and compooters!)
The site itself is non profit making, we're trying to build a non marque specific community, based on friendly interaction.
As i said before we're trying to help our members by bringing in experts in various fields.
the income will be generated from the tours, events and related sales.
however, whilst we'd like people to come on tours there'll be no hard sell (other than look what you're missing!)
i expect about 20% of the sites users to actively engage in the tours, more on local events and mini tours.
the bottom line is we're doing it because we want to, it isn't the main income generator for any of the directors but it would be nice for it to pay for itself and enable us to have fun in our cars with other people.

Probably takes a new owner a while to get de-sensitised to that.
