Garage Woolery

This past Sunday Garage Woolery had it’s Ariel Atom on display at the Queen’s English British car show in Van Nuys, CA.  The Atom was dressed up in yellow and black colors for the event.

While there, we had an interesting encounter with none other than The Tonight Show’s host, Jay Leno.  Jay Leno happens to be an Ariel Atom owner too, so he took some time to come over to our group and give the Atom’s a lookover.  He took a particular interest in the Garage Woolery Atom.  We took the opportunity to ask Jay if he was aware of the many upgrades and updates (some of them necessary) that have been released since he took delivery of his Atom.  He wasn’t aware of many of the updates, so Garage Woolery member David gave Jay some much needed information and advice on how to bring his Atom up to date and up to par.

 One of the subjects Garage Woolery made Jay aware of was the design flaws that were inherent in the factory rear uprights, and how to correct them.  This piqued Jay’s interest enough that he had to see the improvements for himself.

Garage Woolery advised Jay about several important upgrades that he should do to his Atom, including a safety upgrade and an upgrade that addressed Jay’s one peeve about the Atom (5th gear shifting).  Jay had his personal mechanic Bernard Juchli onhand, so they both took down the information Garage Woolery offered for later implementation on Jay’s Atom.  Jay was also kind enough to take a group pic with all the Atom owners who attended the show.

Once again, Garage Woolery saves the day!
