C5alive meets the Gadget Show crew
« on: 13, August, 2008 - 22:45:24 »
Jason Bradbury invited us to the filming of a feature for the gadget Show on Tuesday 12th August at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground.

He is a top bloke and a fellow C5 owner and asked Martin and I to get his C5 up and running and presentable for a televison appearance  ;)

The day itself was a really amazing experience with several weird and wonderful vehicles out on test.

Some piccies from the day ;

The red easyglider caught my eye, so i wandered off to have a look, found this on YOUtube

From there i found the UK dealer OZO but the best bit..(NOT) was the price, its $1000 in the states and £725 here

Form an orderly queue

If you look close you will see Karl in both of the film clips, the first clip he is with Voodoo. Karl you are now a t.v and radio star

In order to take part in the gadget transport race of the century for tonight’s inaugural episode of The Gadget Show Series 10, I had to bring my Sinclair C5 back from the dead. Two men made that possible, Karl and Martin from C5Alive. At one, point we had my 1985 electric C5 (featured above) running at over 30mph! However, that lead to a stripped gearbox and as vintage Sinclair gearboxes are in short supply, we decided to gear my machine back down to around 18mph. See how the race turned out in tonight’s episode.

The above is from Jason Bradbury's web site :)
