...these guys seem to be into retro stuff as well;

The site is worth a look 8)

Neil from this website has been in touch and would like to do a feature on the Sinclair C5 and C5alive.
We've pencilled in a date of Saturday 13th November, so if anyone wants to come along with a c5 and join in with the filming let me know. Bit of an impromptu run/meeting I guess ;D
At the moment it is scheduled to take place at my house, but I'm making enquiries to see if Brooklands will let us film there. Still in the planning stages with the details very much subject to change ;)

The royal we is up for this bud

Fantastic, I'll let you know once the details are all confirmed.
-
I might be up for this one as well?
-
If I'm not working that Saturday will try and come along to this one :)
Retro Andy.
-
If I'm down south that weekend, dependent on business commitments , I will try to attend.
-
Cheers guys, would be nice to have a few more faces for the "oldgoldtech" guys to interview 8)
I've had a chat with them over the phone and they're looking forward to this so something will take place on the 13th , just depends on where - either Brooklands or my house. Donna has said the relevant people at Brooklands will get back to me by Thursday, so I'll update this topic as soon as I know.
-
if i can get 'royal ascent' to have fun on a Saturday instead of going shopping i'll hope be there to ;)

Brooklands have very kindly agreed to host this filming and will be setting aside our usual "play pen" for us.
To confirm the details then, please meet at Brooklands on Saturday 13th November ,I am aiming for a 10am start - awaits confirmation with the Oldgoldtech guys.

With cones and a stopwatch, an Autosolo could result!

..the playpen we will be using on the 13th is our usual spot set aside for us at the Brooklands event.
If you are able to come along maybe you could take some measurements or whatever you might need to help set something up for next years event ?

lets make it even more interesting - cones set out on the test hill - then we come down it :o
how many spare back wheels you got then Karl?
;D

Yes Karl, I'll try to get there even if I haven't room in the car for my C5( might have a whole lot of stock to deliver that weekend with a bit of luck).
-
I'm a "maybe" for this one as the Estima needs an MOT..
-
Neil from oldgoldtech has been in touch and is pleased with the arrangements, so we're all set for some internet stardom 8)
See you all there at 10am on the 13th ;)
-
Sorry Karl ,but won't be abl to make it, have to be in Loughbrough at lunchtime but will be coming down to the area late afternoon that day if anyone is stilll around to show me a sidescreen so that I can measure it and make a pattern. Please measure the area available to us for the AutoSolo( or, more correctly, C5Solo, and I will plot out a course and check the suitability of distances between cones with my C5 on my driveway. Will Brooklands be able to loan us cones on the day, and if so ,how many? Or, do any of our members have access to a goodly quantity (say 60-80) of same? Each waypoint needs two cones, either as a numbered gate to go through or as a pylon to go around with a laying down cone to show which way round to go.
-
Not going to be able to get to Brooklands tomorrow :-\, got to change the starter motor on the wifes car :(
Hope you all have a good day, look forward to the Pics and video ........ ;D
-
We all had a really good day out at Brooklands today with the "oldgoldtech" team , and for me it was the perfect antidote to this weeks earlier disappointment in Antwerp 8)
The filming went very well and Brooklands did us proud by providing us with a nice sectioned off area to play in ;D
All the OGT guys that tried out a c5 developed the "c5 grin" and seemed to enjoy themselves :D
Here are a few of my piccies from the day, and no doubt a few more will follow from others who were there. Can't wait to see the finished product from OGT though :)

A very big thank you to Marty,Matt and Ray for travelling so far to help out and electricdave for bringing along the c-5000.
As electricdave said, days like today remind you what it is all about ;)
ps - bit of a shocker to see the rear brake shoes had been greased on the c5 newly acquired by Max :o
-
Had a great day out filming with the guy's at Brooklands- Matt really enjoyed himself too and was talking about it all the way home - will post some pics soon.Good to meet some new faces also.

If the person is sitting very low, then yes it is the c-5000;

...the guy with the look of sheer terror is using "Challenger";

Some good news to cheer us up during this cold spell ! I've had an email from Neil at OGT, here is an extract ;
.....I've created a short teaser for the C5 alive show here: http://www.oldgoldtech.com/?p=534 . I'm also going to post it on Twitter and the Facebook Group tonight ......
......The main show from all the footage we took will be released in January 2011 – a lot on right now with Christmas but the footage looks great and thanks again for all the support on the day. I'll also send you the photos we have of the day in a separate email.
The teaser is superb, can't wait for the main event ;D 8)
