Hi to everybody! I'm back in action!
I'll keep it short, I found my C5 in a garbage dump back in 2006 in Italy, restored and rolled again in the roads back in 2007.
I've been a forum user since 2006, I still remember Mark, one of the previous owner (really a nice guy) from whom I bought some spares and got some for free.. wow! (including some used rear tires).
Then after a forum crash/reset and given the few time I got for myself (and some health issue still going on..) I let the C5 and the forum away literally covering with dust
Until recently, I started feeling good again (sort of) and moreover ANOTHER Italian guy contacted me about his C5 received from a cousin.. so I decided to get everything back in shape
Some of you may remember this
http://www.camp0s.com/Smart/c5/c5.php which documents my efforts back in 2006-2007 around my old-new C5.. well, really, remembering all this stuff now.. is discharging an electrical current through my spline.. wow, what an emotion was my first ride!!
So.. see you in the forum!!!
