I had a gent bring his lad down to try out a c5 to see what they are like before buying one. The lads sister also ended up trying one out as well. Everyone had a good time and they all left with the famous "c5 grin".

Hopefully they'll pick up a c5 of their own and join us on a few meetings and events  :)

I'll use it everyday, and if I don't forget I'll make same anniversary pictures on the 10th. Help me remember Andy if you want.
Bicyclists are very jealous at me cause no matter how slippery it gets, for me it is just, Full throttle!!  ;D

Given the more frequent bad weather the last few years, the combined technical and practical despises of the entire membership - anyone designing a C5 mounted snow plough yet?

A snow plough needs real power

what you trying to say about the C5? - it's had enough power to last 25 years, longer than many musle cars  :)

it was only an irony joke  ;D

Just make it a tiny snow plough, that will do the trick! ;)

With a 12 Volt hair dryer - I could blow dry the snow into a quiff :)

Although the 10th of January 2011 will be the 26th "Birthday" of the c5, I've had a couple of recent enquiries about the "c5-25" event  ;D Sadly they've missed the boat on that one !
