Title: Acquired a few more spares....
Post by: Karl on 23, February, 2011 - 16:20:56
Much to Simon's relief, Steve, "rentboy"Dave and myself managed (at long last) to finally get to Rotterdam and collect a few Sinclair c5 related items. We took along a lucky mascot affectionately known as the donkey of doom  ;D

I've not yet done a full "stock check" to see what exactly I have in all those boxes of bits, plus there's still another trailer load to collect.

I'll need some of the spares for rebuilding as many of those c5's as I can. Any "leftovers" will be up for grabs  :)

mate , I needed the 4x4 to tow the one we had. The thought of dragging an even bigger trailer about is a bit scary ( especially driving abroad )  :P

Simon was saying goodbye for the last time. It's always hard to let your children go :D
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_za9Q6sbThGc/TWbl8UiOnbI/AAAAAAAABZM/jDpULZEdFcg/s576/Foto0048.jpg)
A little support was definitively needed and friendly given by Steve (or by the trailer) ;)
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_za9Q6sbThGc/TWbl9RJAODI/AAAAAAAABZw/LRJNh_5GJAY/s800/Foto0051.jpg)
then Karl and Simon hooked it up with a little help of the donkey of doom and off we went to a little but friendly sailors bar.
Was nice meeting you guys and I will try to be there next time as well. I think I have a free day from the hospital obligations, thanks to Carnaval ??? it is closed  :'(. So hope to give you a hand next time and have a few more things arranged for the meeting in july.

And boy, Simon really has a great piece of the world at his doorstep. I might be a little bit prejudiced couse I was born there 8)
