I have been communicating with AAE about possibly coming to Halifax next year. They will be considering it further.

It was still half light at that time, so as I was coming up on it,
my brain was working overtime
WTF is that?Then
it's an Atom 
- That'd be great if they came to Halifax!
......hmmmmm I should have a few air miles by then

It was funny to see it on the street...DAMN it's small!
My Roadster felt HUGE riding his tail.
I Know, I know....
...... but it was too dark to get a cell phone pic.

I believe you need two independent sighting verifications for it to officially be here. Having said that, I believe you saw an AA or perhapse a CAA.
Too bad your were unable to put some salt on it's tail.DOMO or get a pic.

Sounds like a plan.
Only 40 minutes from here. No 3 hour + drive. 
They're going to give me a call when they get closer. I've hooked them up with the track and a few other key people.

They don't have the article online, but you can look for their mag at Chapters/Indigo. It's the October '07 issue with a blue WRX wagon on it.
Here's a linky to the mag's site: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/
Practical motorsports on the cheap; one of my favourite mags.
