Got home about 6pm. Had a great day out and good to meet up with everyone again.
Well done to the C5s brave enough to tackle the hill ... i wimped out  :D

Got to see a little of the C5s on the test track, but did get to see some very expensive Mercs, and the AMG Merc Silver Arrows display team scaring some lucky passengers  :)

Riley now wants his own C5 when his legs can reach the peddles  :D

A massive thank-you to all the Brooklands staff for taking such good care of us (yet again  ;D) at what is now our fourth visit to their cycle event   :)

It was a really good,fun day out and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. We had a large collection of c5's on display (around 18 ?) and had a lot of fun on the track.

As always I was too busy enjoying myself to take many piccies - I'll sift through what I've got and post a few tomorrow.

All the lifting and shifting loading the trailer etc has left me proper worn out  :D

Thanks to all those that came along and supported us today - it means a lot to Brooklands to see us all make the effort, but it also means a lot to me to see c5alive being so well supported as well. Cheers guys !

Nice to meet all those who were at Brooklands on Sunday. Had great fun and found out how to fix the fault on my C5. Thanks to those who stopped what they were doing to do a formula one engine change so my C5 was operational before we left at the end of the day.
I will make sure it is clean and tidy for the next time.

I didn't take any piccies at all, although Angie managed to take a few  :o. Hopefully Plod and a few others managed to capture some of the highlights of the day    ;D

Thanks Karl & Angie for another well organised event.

Here are a few pictures I took. Not quite up to the standard of pictures posted so far but hopefully some of you will find a picture of yourself.

PS Karl - Still hunting for the missing display board. I'm sure it's here somewhere!

Good to see you all again.

Some really great photo's guys...captures the day nicely.

A big thank you to all those that came along to display their c5's ,I know some travelled quite a distance which in this day and age is quite expensive so I do appreciate all your efforts. Also, because we are able to put on such a nice display it helps to ensure we get included in next years plans so taking part really does help. Sorry I didn't get to chat with everyone for as long as I would have liked but there was just so much going on. There were some new faces from here meeting up with some of the regulars for the first time but we were soon all chatting away as if we'd known each other for ages, and it was nice to see friends and families coming along to enjoy the day as well. All goes to show how successful the day was  8)
