Morning all,

After wanting one since they came out I've finally got my hands on a C5, funnily enough picking it up on the 30th anniversary. Its been a bit unloved and used for spares but now I'm going to restore her to her former glory

here she is after a quick clean up

Welcome to the new life with your C5.
Lots of frustrations but more fun.

Martin

Hi,

welcome to the forum.

Is your C5 by any chance from Pat? I saw he had an incomplete one one advertised.

Av phun.

Hi Smiler,

so I assume you are also located in Basel, or in the vicinity.

I'm more or less the other side, up in the mountains, a village called Elm

Hi Smiler,

Wow! looks like a one road village, and not the best of places to run a C5.

Hi Guys,

I will be in Winterthur for a week in Feb. I work for a Swiss company called Belimo.

Nice to see more C5's abroad but Switzerland is very hilly even more than Manchester here in the UK.

thanks Lance
