Hello everybody,
I am looking to help out some friends and maybe some of you here can help. I Have just recently exited the US Navy. As any veteran can attest to, the only thing that matters most is the men you worked with. The bonds you create in that environment, no matter what branch of service, are deeper than most you'll ever create in your life. Also I was a submariner, so being on deployment and away from your family is very difficult due to having very minimal contact with your family, we mostly just watch a lot of personal movies and talk of the adventures we hope to have.
One of those adventures was to imagine what it would be like to drive an Ariel Atom. Let me tell you just watching that original Top Gear video would get our hearts pumping and excited. But sadly none of us would ever imagine having enough money to ever purchase one.
That's where some of you here might be able to help. I would like to see if I could find friendly and big hearted Ariel Atom Owners that would be willing to create some affectionate Navy friends by putting together an event where a few of these really interested Sailors would be able to come and test drive an Atom on a track. I haven't told any of my still active duty friends about what I'm doing because they will still be on deployment for another couple of months. And if I could do anything to express what this would mean to them I would. This would make a few men that normally don't have much to look forward to be able to be little boys again. Obviously I cant say when their deployment is over because that is confidential information but this event would hopefully have a date in December. So that would leave plenty of time to put plans together. I live in the Seattle area so hopefully the owners would be in the northern California or Oregon area. I would make arrangements to put together a road trip. But everything as far as location and date are hugely flexible. I would wait till next summer if some of you would be even willing to help make this event possible.
So thanks for listening and if you are interested feel free to post here and send me a message. And then from there we can work out more details and exchange more contact information. Thank you everybody!
P-ville
