Hello

[Richie]

Hi mate

I have only owned my C5 for a week and already found the forums a great deal of help.
There are a few C5s on Ebay at the moment but the prices tend to rocket at the end. I got mine off Ebay and got a really good one. (electrics are untested yet but I am hopeful)
Good luck in your search
Rich

I have a feeling Steve is now a proud owner

Yes I am a very proud owner of a C5   Its now tucked up in the kitchen as it doesn't fit anywhere else  Best start looking for a shed

It was a pleasure to meet you Mike. Thanks for the run around the block and the basics on how to get in and drive a C5.

Can't wait to get it out to some events in nice weather

Good man!

Really enjoyed going out today, it's a shame we didn't have a bit more sunshine and a bit less wind (and a bit more battery power) but that's how it goes unfortunately.

Shame you can't make it to luton, but as we were talking about earlier, there are quite a few nice runs in the summer months!


Nice to meet you mate, and thanks again for the drink at the pitstop

Got the pod working today , had to replace R1 in the control box.

GOOD MAN!

That has made my day hearing that Steve Was really hoping it was something daft.

Glad it was R1 and not the loom!

I can only find this one - currently £300 with 6 days left.

It was sold for 530 british pounds! No atributes, not out of a box. And if I look sharp the wheels on the back don't have original caps.
Wow, maybe I should offer my Old C5's over there. But then, last year, a C5 was sold with only one mirror through the American E-Bay.
They asked $6000,- for this rare showcase of British engineering. Finally was sold for $3600,-
Karl, should we take a look over-there?

Frank - I dont think my 4x4 and trailer would be up for a trip to the USA, even with the donkey of doom 

I was surprised to see the £530 sale price for the other one , especially with a pod fault etc. Just goes to show how much Ebay varies

Come on Karl, don't be so negative. As I can remember your donkey of doom is made of wood, wood floats!
Just put your trailer on a zodiac, feed the donkey and lets go. Would be an great adventure to tell your grandchildren.
