The Brooklands Museum cycle festival has evolved into one of our main events of the year and is a firm favourite of mine. Sadly this year there will not be a chance to use the AMG test track but we will be given a larger "playpen" to ride about in and there will be the Test Hill challenge for those brave enough ! ElectricDave will be letting the c5000 loose up the hill which is always worth a look 8)
If you want to come along and exhibit your own c5 as part of our c5alive display you will get a free entrance ticket , which makes it quite a cheap day out. There is plenty of stuff on site to keep everyone amused, just take a look through the museum website to see what 's on offer such as vintage aircraft ( civil and military), cars, buses, motorbike & cycles plus an F1 simulator ,not to mention dambusters bouncing bomb prototypes etc etc. Bring the family along with your c5 and join us for a great day out and get nattering with other c5alive forum members. It's a chance to see the faces behind the forum profiles ....potentially shocking but well worth it :o ;D
Some more details on the Brooklands Museum website;

Let me know asap if you want to tag along, I'll need to get an idea of numbers so I can order enough tickets.

Hi Karl - can you add the radiomarty clan to the list - Cheers
Great... There's going to be more MGF's than C5's lol! :-)
-
I'm delighted to announce that there will be a prize on the day for the member managing to fit the most C5's into an MGF! Could be a close run thing with most competitors stating a target of 2 so far... The prize will be a tin of Tesco Value grease remover and a brillo pad... Useful when trying to squeeze C5's into spaces containing cloth trim ;-)
-
List for the tickets has been updated, anyone else wanting to join in please let me know soon ;).
-
Hey Karl,
just remembered I don't need a ticket thanks
-
Hey Karl,
I don't need a ticket thanks
Nor do I (as a fellow Brooklands Trust Member) but the list is also a useful way of working out who is coming along...a spare or two is always useful as well 8).

I'm guessing you pop down there quite offen then. Am I quite right in saying that you own one of the three c5's there
-
Hi Karl
Can you add me to the list, one C5 and three people if possible,
Thanks Pep
-
Hi Karl
We'll be there as usual with two C5s.
Cheers
-
Hi Karl
Can you put me down please with 1 C5.
Thanks Steve
-
Hi Karl,
I can not make this event this year, but my brother is borrowing my C5 and would like to attend with his family. He should not be hard to miss as he is going to come down in his 1964 VW Split Screen, so two historic vehicle for the price of one.
If there are enough tickets can you mark him down for 1 C5 and 4 people.
Best Regards,
Kurt. (I will e-mail you his contact details).
-
I dont know if i will be there yet karl will let you know soon as i have to save money to get a c5
:)
-
Always a good show, but can't make it this year as it clashes with the Stanford Hall Mini show.
Have fun on the test hill ;D
-
Hi there Karl put me down for 1 ...Bye Chas

You're still most welcome but I'm afraid the list is closed for free tickets...
I'll put you on the reserve list if anyone drops out.
-
Karl,
Please put me on the reserve list as I have missed the deadline again, and I promise to make it up the test hill.
Thanks, Jim :)

All the tickets have now arrived 8)
For those of you that have never been before then carefully read the directions shown in this link;
http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/index.php?/your-visit/how-to-get-here/
You will need to access the Brooklands Museum site via the Campbell Gate entrance. Same routine as for previous years, someone representing c5alive will meet you at that entrance to hand you your tickets .
Once inside the museum site go down the hill and you will see the "playpen" area for C5alive on the left hand side along the chainlink fence.
Try to be there for around 9am and no later than 10am , once the museum opens to the public then vehicular access can be restricted.
If you're bringing the family along don't forget there is a "scooterthon" being held ;
http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/index.php?/events/details/the-brooklands-cycle-festival/
This event is always a highlight of the c5alive calendar and will be a great day out, looking forward to meeting some new faces and catching up with old friends .
See you there 8)
-
Really looking forward to next Sunday, only met up with Karl and Marty so far this year so will be great meeting everyone again and see some new faces, sounds like it will be a good turn out of us, I can't wait to get my C5 going again, but don't know if I will risk taking it on the hill climb as it hasn't been used for so long.
P.S
It's less than 18 months untill the C5 hits its 30th birthday :) Hope we can see you Karl and Angie at an event to celebrate it.

Not long now 8) Just got the C5 out of the shed for a test ride. No pod lights, bad connection :( now working again :)
Looking forward to trying the hill, maybe!
-
I think my pod was playing up the last time I used it, Marty are you still repairing C5 electrics ?
Retro Andy.

Bring it along Andy - I will take a look for you - Marty

Bring it along Andy - I will take a look for you - Marty
Many thanks Marty, I will be bringing along my C5 and hope to get it running again on the day, thanks again.

Another great meeting at Brooklands today, many thanks to Karl and Angie for organising these events for us over the past five years and welcome Neil, Ed and Trevor it was good to meet the new owners of C5 Alive, Everyone seemed to be having a great time.
It was lovely to have the owners of the Senna C5 to allow me to take along this very special C5 and display it today, and many thanks for coming along and saying hello to
everyone (It was a good to reveal what team C5 Alive (Myself, Karl and Marty) what the secret restoration we had been working on the past few months.
A very big thankyou to Karl and Marty for getting my C5 running again (I hope you can both join me for a winter Royal run later this year ?) Also thankyou to Marty for the Senna book.

Looks like you had a nice day out, and a good turn out too.
Batman and Senna look great, and the one with with jet looks interesting - quite fancy something that crazy one day ;D - guessing it wasn't allowed up the test hill though :o ;D
Have to try and get to Brooklands next year - it always seems to be a nice show.
-
Thanks to everyone who organised another great day,
-
I think we beat the c5alive record for the number of c5's at a meeting or event, it was over 30 ! So it was a nice send off for me 8)
Thanks to everyone who came along and braved the weather especially as the forecast was for lots of rain but we got away with it until late afternoon.
Also, thanks to those that helped tidy all the barriers etc away as it saved the busy staff at Brooklands a job .
I'll keep in touch and hope to come along to an event or two every now and then ;)
Take care everyone !

Well done Karl and Angie Its been a great few years with you at the helm you will be missed bye Chas
