Welcome

I'm a newbie too, I'm sure you will find everyone is very helpful on this forum. I certainly have.

I hope you have lots of fun with your C5.

Dave

Hi will post some pictures in a few weeks as I am currently doing her up a bit, my profile picture is of my c5, just brought new three and tunes, new side stickers, new belt.

Think I got a real barging, as everything works, except pod, runs really well, been out on it everyday since Sunday, even the battery works, the guy I bought it from has had it in a shed for a year and a half, he got it for a university project, but couldn't get it going, so I brought it sold as seen for £200.00, did have to go to London to pick it up though,and I live in Cirencester, just needed a new fuse, and a charge up on the battery.

So really pleased

It's cool, did it come with all those extras for £200?

Welcome to the forum, looks like a very tidy C5 you've got there.

It's cool, did it come with all those extras for £200?

That would be the bargain of the century if it did!

No, was just the C5, I was lucky as it was all compleat but had to get the mast, mirrors and indicators separately, needed new tyres and brake cable, new gear box insert, stickers and fuses and a bloody good clean. But it was in fairly good nick to start with.

I know but some people get lucky!

Looks great though.  Well done.
