Sunday March 27th 2011 - Crawley run

[Karl]

I have 1 question and update


Is the adress the same one as the one listed on the site homepage?


Also as my car aint big enough to fit my c5 without ripping everything out, my father has offered to drive to crawley as he has an estate car, thus meaning that he will be joining us all on his bycicle. I hope this is ok with everyone and im sure he will fit in as he is a electronics engineer and as a result he is intrigued by the electronics of the c5

Yep , the address is as listed on the homepage - post code RH10 3AN
Your dad is most welcome to join in

Can't wait to hear how the new 24v system holds up, Karl. Really hoping it's going to be available for sale before too long! 

As you can see from my project (in the gallery) I really need some new electrics. Oh boy do I need some new electrics...

Why not run it on just a relay, the ones I built for the Brooklands guys are still going strong and have even been loaned out to visitors with no problems.

A nice cheap and cheerful way of getting your c5 back on the road...

[ScubaChris]

Well that definitely looks like a neat and simple solution and it's something to consider. Having said that I haven't quite written off my electrics yet even though they look a mess. When I get a chance I'll delve into the control box to see if there are any horrors in there.

Longer term though I really have my heart set on a twin battery 24v setup.

I will not be able to make this one. Have a great time on Sunday and hope the weather stays good for you all. Kurt.

Dont forget guys , the clocks go forward an hour on Saturday night

Should be a good run, the first of the year so guaranteed to have a few break downs etc etc ...can't wait

Thanks for the reminder about the clocks going forward Karl. If I don't report for duty by 10.29am would you walk over the road and get me out of bed?! Ta.

For a few ££££'s I could arrange for Angie to wander over 

Just for info, GrumpyGreenthing (Pete) will be providing the safety car...he'll be carrying a few tools and spares to help with any snags, and also provide transport back for any c5's that can't be fixed. Like the old military saying, we never leave a man behind

Bad news here ....

Not going to be able to make this now (after all the running around i have done to change shifts etc) Things have changed at short notice so not going to make it along.

Hope every one has a great day and that weather stays good, look forward to seeing and hearing about the day, take lots of pics.

Se you at the next one.

Sadly I have to work to - this work lark is now starting to interfere with my life  - hope you have a good run guy's and look forward to hearing about it - gutted we are not there !!

[Retro Andy]

Hope you all have a great first run of the year, remember to post some pictures.

What an excellent start to this years events, the greatest surprise being there were no "surprises" - not a single breakdown or mishap. All went disgustingly well , so for the next run we might have to loosen a few wheel nuts or something to add a bit of drama 

It was nice to see some more new faces amongst the more familiar ones as its always reassuring to see the c5alive "family" growing   

As usual, Angie and I didn't get round to taking many piccies but I'm sure a few of the others did and their piccies will follow soon.







A big thank you to everyone who came along 

[Pyrasanth]

Yeah great fun had by all  and the weather you could not ask for more.....

[peckishere]

It was such great fun, weather was perfect and no break downs. I haven't found out a way of uploading my pics to the forum but I have a large amount of them anyway so it would take up too much space if I tried. Below is the link to my flickr photo-set of the day

Thanks to Karl for organizing the run and I would like to say thank-you to everyone for making me feel welcome and accepted
