Just thought I would make my opinion clear.
Sir Clive Sinclair is one of our greatest inventors.The list of his inventions is well known,so I wont go into them all.
In producing the C5,he did what no other company dared to do.
He produced a machine that was designed to get some of us,out of our cars,and show the world,that we need to take a different course,as far as personal transport was concerned.
Now we all know the drawback,in the C5 design but most people do not realise the fact that it was limited in power and speed,simply to enable us to use it as easily as we would a bicycle,with no need for road tax,insurance,MOT,ETC.
We who now own the C5 have the pleasure of riding a machine that excites the imagination.We know how great it is.
The downfall of the C5 at launch,was mainly down to the press coverage.
They bent the truth,in order to sensationalise the story.
They lied about the C5 safety report,and said that R.O.S.P.A.Had said it was dangerous.But this was not so.They said it was no less dangerous than a bicycle,in fact in some ways,safer.
They took it out on busy London roads,on cold winter days,and said the batteries gave out.YES IDIOTS,BATTERIES DO GO FLAT,AND CARS RUN OUT OF FUEL TO.
And as any Londoner knows,if you took a bicycle out on the North Circular Road,you are risking your life."So strange,that they tested the C5 there"
Now I have got that off my chest,Ha,Ha,Ha,thank you Clive for opening some peoples mind up to the possibilities for future personal transport.
