At last! My C5 is back in action.
I live at the top of a hill, so needed to pull the C5 from where it was being repaired to my house. I had a rope tied to the fron of the C5, and it was quite a journey. I passed a lot of people en-route and passed a couple of pubs.
With the lighter evenings now, there's a lot more poeple out, and as the weather was fair, a lot of people commented on it as I passed. I heard people talking amongst themselves. There were comments like "Cor, look at that, it's a C5" and "I haven't seen one of those for a while".
One person chased me whilst I was pulling the C5 up the hill and asked for a ride on it.
There's just something about a C5 isn't there? It's always a great talking point.
When i reached the top of the hill, I rode it to my local fish and chippery, passing a police car en-route who gave a wave. When I arrived at the chippy, I ordered my tea, and put it in the boot for the journey home.
It worked really well, and is now due for a clean for the summer. I've since found that 'Mr Muscle Kitchen Cleaner' works wonders. Really gets the shell a nice white colour.
So... My Portland C5 is back in service.
