Future Car Challenge - halfway rest point at Crawley College

(1/5) > >>

Karl:
I went along to Crawley College to take a quick look at some of the vehicles taking part in the Future Car Challenge  http://www.futurecarchallenge.com/

As expected there was some very nice and expensive machinery on display, especially loved the selection of Tesla's  :) Mostly they were "mainstream" cars so not enough "oddball" stuff for my liking, but there were one or two that took my fancy  8)

What I didn't anticipate was the amount of attention "Voodoo" caused, at one point I was surrounded with people asking all about Sinclair C5's - which was superb  ;D A few were brave enough to have a whizz about in Voodoo and all came back with the famous "C5 grin", raving about how good they are !

Pretty amazing considering the amount of corporate/company vehicles on show :D

A couple of piccies from the day ;

Caught on camera again Karl, I do like the little black car.

Retro Andy.

Karl:
..and a few more piccies;













Hopefully this will become a regular annual event and start to atrract some more vehicles as it grows. It was well worth going along to, plus I met up with some friends from the Battery Vehicle Society...big hello to Nicky and thanks for the hug  :-*

Apparently there were quite a few celebs there, but I was so wrapped up in speaking with people interested in c5's I didn't get to see half of what was going on. We might have to go "mob-handed" next year and have a proper c5alive event there  ;D

Karl:
