I really enjoy how far you go to not spoil which cars you are going to review, even in the first 10 seconds of this video by just cutting the audio when you mention the car. Hope you're having a good holiday
All these people bitching about his driving. There's a few things you should consider: 1. He's driving someone else's car. Someone else's EXPENSIVE car. With the owner riding shotgun. He's not gonna go balls to the wall on the road. 2. The Atom can't be easy to drive. It's way lighter than most stock cars, and most of its inputs are manual. There's no TCS here. Give it too much and it'll drop right off. 3. Mr Regular has never claimed to be a pro driver. He reviews the cars for fun. 4. You realise that this is more a comedy bit that happens to be about cars, right? These aren't serious car reviews. Hence the name. In short, don't take it so seriously. It's just a bit of comedy.
+Isaiah Sampson some good ones to start with are; doomsday, all caps, deep fried frenz, ?(yes it's a song), Kon Karne, and rhinestone cowboy. There's tons of other great tracks too, with some great samples and excerpts.
I started watching regular cars because you done a video of one of the cars I own, a Volvo 240. Since then I watch all the episodes you do. Always brings a smile and it's informative too. Keep it up dudes! *Real fart*
One great thing about the atom is that it is so light that engine braking/downshifting is both reliable and quantifiably more effective (inverse square, energy conservation) than even purpose-built sports cars.
maybe he wants to drive carefully in some else's car. but taking a speed bump in third gear, please take some lessons. alsways in second maybe first........
Nice! Had you gone just past the old fire station where you turned around to the next light. There is a nice country road called Highland Rd to the left with some nice turns. That's great that you got to drive one of those. The first few seconds I was like, Blackhawk Plaza, cool!
I drove one of these cars at Mosport raceway just outside Toronto. Amazing handling, explosive acceleration but the gearshift made my 1973 beetle seem slick in comparison. Enjoyed it though!
I was lucky enough to drive one of these on my birthday at a track day, the only way I can describe it to people that haven't is.... Is the center point of both a bike and a car. You get the best of worth worlds. I only wish I got to experience it out on the road and not just a track.
+foxtrotrx because we like fun? I really don't get those crazy massive trucks you guys drive. Do you need tires that come up to your nipples? That seemed to be the norm when I visited.
It's a pretty big nono... unless creeping along focusing over some kind of rough terrain. cruising around at consistant speeds and I see the potential for slipping occasionally like when you brake pressing you forward and on to the clutch. Eventually, you'll wear it out but I bet it'll take a while. Like 2 foot driving an automatic for your brakes.
The factory where these are made is about 5 miles from my house, no joke its basically 2 sheds, no one but the workers aloud in, all windows are blacked out, its super secret for some reason!
+Bindo I'm American and I agree with ya. Terrain and city design differences necessitates less margin of error. Can't even drive an f350 dually long bed on European roads.
Bindo ok so still my question stands you're using the driving skill of "many youtube vids you have seen" to assess the driving skill of 300 million or more people. you sir are an idiot.. i dont know what country youre from but thats like me going to your country and saying every last person in that country smells like shit because i ran into a few smelly people while visiting.
i have driven that car and from personal experience i would say it takes about 20 mins to get used to the gear changes and how it handles, he's just a useless driver
That numpty behind the wheel needs some driving lessons! I'm sure going into first gear whilst moving did the synchro the world of good! Being a yank though, he's probably never driven with a gear stick before, which would explain his inability to drive. What a muppet.
I cry for the gear box. When driving a manual: ONLY USE FIRST GEAR TO START THEN SHIFT IMMEDIATELY TO THE SECOND!!!!!! Gosh that pain when you began to rev that engine up in first gear. Awtch. And leaving your foot on the clutch when you're driving?! Srsly?!
+Lavdi no matter what car, the principle stays the same. If you want a quick tutorial on how to fuck up your gearbox and your clutch within 2k miles, then you should probably see this video again. And believe me, I've had advices from real racing drivers, and drove a lot of different cars, that's what you get when you live next to one of the most famous racing tracks in the world :)
Yes that was horrible shifting by Regular. Too bad he wasn't born east of the Atlantic. I hear the gulf stream imbues you Europeans with magical manual driving skills that us clumsy Americans cannot even imagine.
I've driven a manual my whole life. Dont rest your foot on the clutch like he asks about. A well bled clutch (just like a brake) will start to engage right away. You can cook your clutch that way. An inexperienced manual driver will engage and disengage slowly to make it smooth, but eventually you'll warp your clutch plate doing that.
Everyone complaining about the revving, he's enjoying the ride, and TALKING to a friend, so he keeping its low RPM, he doesnt want to be driving at 6k RPM constant..
Hey, I know that area! Is that Blackhawk Plaza? I used to go shopping there when I lived at the country club. Yep, a lot of fancy cars around that area. Should have taken Highland Road after getting a good feel for the car. That would have given you some permanent grins!!!
At first I was like heyyy that looks familiar. Then it all hit that it was in fact Danville, CA. I love the Auto Museum there, I hope you had a great time! If you ever come back I've got a 2007 Hyundai Azera that you could review, it has under 100k miles and is cherry as of right now.
2:05 That signature Honda startup love it
What’s so special about that Startup?
Looks and sounds like every other small engine startup to me?
Yup. My old Civic sounds like it.

YOU SHALL RIDE ETERNAL! SHINY AND CHROME!

It would be similar to an open when car such as a formula ford only it would be heavier.

It looked like one but it was actually a Lexus!
Was it the Million Mile Lexus?! Ok, I get it the joke is old.
Its a Lexus
That's the most I have ever seen you push a car before. It was awesome.

+Doctor Ferdinand Was a Lexus. Looked like an LS460 F Sport. not a cop.
I want to take one of these around the Nurburgring a few hundred times :-)
If got round once in that thing without dying I'd be delighted.

That's how it feels watching the Leno videos.

This is a car that takes you to heaven when u floor it
6:57 I'm still waiting for people hating on this while they can't drive stick themselves.
One great thing about the atom is that it is so light that engine braking/downshifting is both reliable and quantifiably more effective (inverse square, energy conservation) than even purpose-built sports cars.
I like in the beginning, everyone looks at him like, "Man...this is a bad, bad, bad idea."
Man I just love the way that motor sounds. Oh god yes
Vtec kicked in yo!!
Is this some random guy from England letting strangers drive his atom?
Yeah probably.
Yes
No, it's a Brit letting Mr Regular Car drive his car to review.
Andrew Brinkman no
Yeah guess so, although being an american car, pretty sure he could have found an american owner.
Great Joy Division shirt!! Dave has cool taste : awesome music, great car!
I love the little "windshields" it comes with. xD
Hey you drove right past my house!
wut lol
Look out your window, no need to be scared
Let me in Cole
Chase after them LOL 😂
I like how you aren't a massive tool like a lot of "Rev heads" can be and you are just there to experience the car and not show off.
This car is on my bucket list to drive.
That intake sound is incredible
Lovely sound on that fun thing! Getting my 2017 GTI Clubsport this November! ;)
3DFX did you get it?
naw he dead
great vid - an Englishman not being pompous, and an american showing some humility! And obviously, an insanely great car!
Sounds like a reliable Honda
Because its powered by honda
I love how tiny the windscreens are.
do you rest your foot on the clutch pedal??? who the hell does, yet alone asks that
demigodnz you should listen what he says after..
He knows it's not his and he also respects the car. A car like this could get away from you very easily.
never let people drive your car...
The enormous politeness of this guy.
shifting way too early you arent even getting half the experience
+Gringo Supreme It happens when it is SPANKY TIME too.
>hits the rev limiter
>shifts too early
Uwot
You mean like most of the world can? yeah.
I think like 90% of north american people (current vehicle) don't drive stick man. I'd have to double check but I'm pretty sure.
maybe he wants to drive carefully in some else's car. but taking a speed bump in third gear, please take some lessons. alsways in second maybe first........

cringed when I heard "rest foot on clutch"

Me too
@@jetstream454 if you rest your foot on the clutch you get unneeded extra clutch wear
@@Forza-gs1id Gotta rest it pretty hard lol

"I wish the owner wasn't there..."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
driving slowly an ariel atom in first time
Nice going dude knowing that I have just subscribed to your channel and I am impressed!
why Im I watching this at 3 am?
xpto41 lol that's how I feel right now
It's like 3:12 AM here and I just saw this comment hahaha I was wondering the same thing!
Damn! this racing sim is freakin real!!
Can you review a ariel nomad?
got a RCR logo shirt as gift - good choice of vendor, like the fit and finish!
I had no idea the Ariel Atom came in manual
that's all it comes with
+Josh Godber I thought it was only DSG, unless that's the 500
Nico Tekavec The 500 used a paddle shift sequential gearbox, not quite the same as a DSG
Josh Godber my mistake
+Nico Tekavec In the U.S. it comes with the standard 6-speed, close-ratio 6-speed, or SADEV sequential manual with paddles for an extra ($30,000)
Blackhawk! That's great! I miss going to that Cars and Coffee. Its in a great location and a ton of cars show up. Glad you enjoyed the Ariel Atom!
Are you in Las Vegas?
Lol I'm pretty sure he's in PA
man that induction noise is lovely.
any driving skills improvements since that ride?:)

british cars are some of the best when it comes to handling

rest your foot on the clutch?!? is there something i dont know but isnt that a big nono?

it is but there is not much space to rest your foot

short shifting is irritating
the world is a better place when a car like the Atom can still exist

Why, it's his first time, so I would say it's good enough for his first time :) Better than most people would, imo ^^

Stoney. you say it takes 20 min.... he only drove it for like 10 minutes
JPdriftz33 he drove it for a lot longer then that, this video is edited down
Stoney. even so... its probably not that much longer. probably 20 min
The bass on my headphones made my spine tingle
That numpty behind the wheel needs some driving lessons! I'm sure going into first gear whilst moving did the synchro the world of good! Being a yank though, he's probably never driven with a gear stick before, which would explain his inability to drive. What a muppet.

amasing more of this ariel atom like this pls
this guy asks do you ride with your foot on the clutch. he needs to grab his purse and go home. no business driving cars
First name Last name Why the hell does e v e r y o n e have a problem with the guy saying that. He's just asking a trivial question.
Imagine the fun on twisty roads.
I've driven a manual my whole life. Dont rest your foot on the clutch like he asks about. A well bled clutch (just like a brake) will start to engage right away. You can cook your clutch that way. An inexperienced manual driver will engage and disengage slowly to make it smooth, but eventually you'll warp your clutch plate doing that.
Yeah when they said that I was like uhh.. they tell you to not keep your hand on the gear shift lever too.
