Looking at some dates for this years Royal Run, I was thinking of June the 12th as Sandringham has got the Daimler & Lanchester Owner's Club Rally that day and thought it would be good to gate crash and have a look ?

I'll be there as enjoyed it last year ... will we still have the ice cream stop ;D
Be my first run out on a C5 for about 6 months ... should be fun. Just need to go buy a battery today, otherwise i'll be peddalling lots :D
And i'll try not to break my chain this time :D

Hope you all have a great day ;D
Would have enjoyed it myself but I'm doing the Wirral Bikeathon (charity bike ride) that day. I considered doing it in the C5 but I wanted to be home before nightfall! ;)

I might be able to wing this.. but the bus is off-line and i'm not sure if a c5 will fit in my clio.
Worth a try though eh ;)

Im not so sure...
-
Good luck, you never know :-* fingers crossed you find a way :)
Retro Andy.
-
Take out the front passenger seat ;D
-
I'm going to get the picnic blanket thing and try it.
Would strap it to the roof but thats clearly not a good boy thing to do...
-
Get it strapped on the roof :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

But to all that are going have a good day out
Lance
-
As fun as that looks.. I think I'll pass! :)
Was bad enough when I strapped one to the top of the wifes scenic..
Suns come out, time to go see if it will fit....
-
Hope to see you tomorrow mate, fingers crossed you get it in :)
Retro Andy.
-
Took the C5 for a quick spin and all went well ;D
Just deciding which car to take. The trusty Estima that needs fuel but a C5 goes in easy, or my other car which has fuel, is more fun, but a C5 is a bit of a squeeze ?
Will aim for between 10.00 - 10.30am :)
Daz
-
I wish my Estima was running. its got a full tank of diesel!!! DOH!
-
Ok I tried. backseats down, front seat forward.
Not happening! WHOOPS!
Have an awesome time chaps. Looks like another royal run i've missed :(
-
That's a shame you couldn't get yours sorted Mike.
Managed to get the C5 in , although a bit of a squeeze. Keeping it 80's ;D
See you all later today :D
Daz
-
Sorry to here you can't make it Mike :'( does mean a extra egg and a bit of bacon for someone ;D
Retro Andy.
-
Have a good run chaps - sorry we can't make this one this year ! Always a good run - look forward to the photo's - Enjoy ! :)
-
It's a bit far from me but I've got the bug so much I bought an old VW Passat to run mine about!!!!
It didn't fit in my Prius so I had to do something!
Cheers John
-
Got back about 15mins ago.
Thanks to Andy ( or should that be Mrs Andy :D ) for the pre-run bacon, egg and coffee.
First good run out for my C5 and all went well. Was surprised how nippy it was for a standard one ;D
Luckily the heavy rain held off .... it is tipping it down here now ..... and i didn't get too cold :D
Still think the best part was turning up at the Daimler show, and the 6 C5's getting more attention than the 100s of cars :D
Had a great day out ;D
-
Brilliant day all round ... ;D
Heavy Rain held off until the end of the day :)
Thanks to Andy and the Misus for the Bacon rolls etc ... ;)
Some pics and video to follow. 8)

Looks like you had a good time wish I could have been there ....Chas

Another superb run Andy , love the way you managed to side step all the cooking and left it up to your domestic goddess to sort out ;D Thanks for the breakfast butties at your place and the pint in the pub .
Although the sun didn't shine as brightly as on your previous events it didn't seem to dampen anyones enjoyment :)
Highlight for me was gatecrashing that car show and stealing all the attention... 8) ,but equally amusing was being asked by that couple to shift the c5 from outside the Sandringham gates so they could take a piccie without the c5 spoiling the view :o
Some of our piccies ;
