We've been invited back to the Brooklands Vintage Cycle event for 2011 on Sunday 18th September 8). This has always been my absolute favourite event of the c5alive calendar - more details nearer the time.
For those that have never been before, check the archives for our previous visits;

An excellent venue, Brooklands has always been very supportive of c5alive. A date worth circling in your diary :)

I've contacted Donna at Brooklands today and received confirmation the event is still going ahead this year and has been renamed the Cycle Festival;
http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/index.php?/events/details/cycle-festival-including-cycle-jumble/
Some more good news, we will have some track time at Mercedes Benz World scheduled for around lunchtime but subject to confirmation.
To help gauge how much space we need , such as our usual "playpen" ,could you let me know asap if you wish to attend and whether you're bringing a c5 :)

I'll keep the list open until the end of the month , so if you want to come along add your name asap :)
-
I'll be contacting Brooklands on Monday 5th to let them know how many tickets we need. It's looking like there'll be a smaller turn out of c5's than last year, which is a shame, but as long as we put on a good display I'm sure Brooklands will be happy.
If you do decide you want to come after the cut-off date it doesn't mean you won't be welcome, just that you'll have to pay at the gate on the day.
Last call for names to be added to the list !
-
Karl, i may bring the family along. Will this be ok? Or do they need tickets? Last year I think you gave me a ticket on the gate when i turned up in the bus (RIP)
-
I would like to come along - just need to run it up the other halfs flag pole.
Will get back this eve....

I am hoping to get to this one.

A few details and some info, especially for those attending for the first time. If you've been before you'll recognise the arrangements :)
It is an early start, apologies for those travelling some distance ,but as per previous years we will need to be on site for around 9am on the Sunday morning giving us time to get the display area all set up before the gates open to the public at 9.30 . If you are going to be late please let me know asap.
Each ticket will grant free entry to the c5 owner plus 1 , so any other guests will need to pay at the gate. As with previous years, I will issue the tickets at the entrance of the access road known as Campbell Gate (check the link, shown as access point 2) ;

..previous directions;

There are plans to hold another "scooterthon" for the youngsters so bring along your micro-scooters . Most important of all is to bring a cycling helmet if you want to venture onto the Mercedes Benz World test track - it an insurance requirement and strictly enforced. No crash hat, no access to the track.
Brooklands Museum is a superb venue with lots to see and do, plus they have planned some good events for this festival so should be an excellent day out for us all - really looking forward to it.
See you there ;D
-
I am very sorry to have to pull out of this event,as the arrangements I made for Sylvia have fallen through.
I hope someone else will get the enjoyment from my tickets.
This is my favorite C5 event,so I am very unhappy.All of you have a great day.

Sorry to hear that Ray :(

Really sorry you can't make it Ray.
Retro Andy.

Won't be the same without you Ray, but Sylvia quite rightly comes first . There'll always be other c5 events you can come to.
-
I am new to C5 Alive but I am available to attend on Sunday.
I have 2 C5s and will bring one on Sunday if that is ok.

John - welcome to c5alive mate , it would be good to see you there 8) Sadly, Scott has had to cancel so you can have his ticket .Meet me at Campbell Gate around 8-8.30am .
Neil - Ray's ticket is also up for grabs so same as above, come along to the Campbell Gate entrance and I'll hand out the tickets.
-
Just a reminder - The Brooklands Cycle Event is this Sunday !
Don't forget to bring your cycle helmet if you want to venture on to the Mercedes Benz Test Track..it's an insurance requirement and strictly enforced
Also, there will be a "scooterthon" for the kiddies so bring along a microscooter if they want to take part.

Either myself, or a lucky winning volunteer, will be at the Campbell gate entrance from around 8am onwards handing out the tickets for those on the list.
See you there ;D

c5 succesfully loaded into my dads car ready for tomorrow, just in time aswell as it started tipping it down with rain just after we got it in!
-
Got home about 6pm. Had a great day out and good to meet up with everyone again.
Well done to the C5s brave enough to tackle the hill ... i wimped out :D
Got to see a little of the C5s on the test track, but did get to see some very expensive Mercs, and the AMG Merc Silver Arrows display team scaring some lucky passengers :)
Riley now wants his own C5 when his legs can reach the peddles :D

A massive thank-you to all the Brooklands staff for taking such good care of us (yet again ;D) at what is now our fourth visit to their cycle event :)
It was a really good,fun day out and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. We had a large collection of c5's on display (around 18 ?) and had a lot of fun on the track.
As always I was too busy enjoying myself to take many piccies - I'll sift through what I've got and post a few tomorrow.
All the lifting and shifting loading the trailer etc has left me proper worn out :D
Thanks to all those that came along and supported us today - it means a lot to Brooklands to see us all make the effort, but it also means a lot to me to see c5alive being so well supported as well. Cheers guys !
-
Nice to meet all those who were at Brooklands on Sunday. Had great fun and found out how to fix the fault on my C5. Thanks to those who stopped what they were doing to do a formula one engine change so my C5 was operational before we left at the end of the day.
I will make sure it is clean and tidy for the next time.

Really sorry I couldnt make this. Lucky I didnt as we had a last minute visit from the parents and an emergency shoe buying!

Brilliant day all round ...... :)
Thanks to Karl, Angie and the Brooklands staff for organising this event ... 8)
Uploading some pics a bit later today ! 8)

Thanks again to Karl and Angie for another great day out at Brooklands - nice meeting some new faces .All in all a great day out and the place it all started for the Radiomarty clan - Thanks Plod for the photo's as we didn't take any this year - looking forward to the sideway's video Plod (we believe you - your camera was the right way up ;D ;D ;D ;D )
-
Thanks Karl & Angie for another well organised event.
Here are a few pictures I took. Not quite up to the standard of pictures posted so far but hopefully some of you will find a picture of yourself.

PS Karl - Still hunting for the missing display board. I'm sure it's here somewhere!
Good to see you all again.
Tony & Max

Some really great photo's guys...captures the day nicely.
A big thank you to all those that came along to display their c5's ,I know some travelled quite a distance which in this day and age is quite expensive so I do appreciate all your efforts. Also, because we are able to put on such a nice display it helps to ensure we get included in next years plans so taking part really does help. Sorry I didn't get to chat with everyone for as long as I would have liked but there was just so much going on. There were some new faces from here meeting up with some of the regulars for the first time but we were soon all chatting away as if we'd known each other for ages, and it was nice to see friends and families coming along to enjoy the day as well. All goes to show how successful the day was 8)

Watching electricDave get some sideways action going in the c-5000 was fun ;D , although the batteries in Challenger seems to be getting a bit tired as it seemed to struggle with the hill this time :-\ . Just as well radiomarty was fearless enough to take a fast run at it from the start line :D
Some good footage that gives a nice taster of the day Plod 8)
