Some background info regarding the picture used for the banner photo.
This is a picture taken at the start of our run from the Hoover factory at Merthyr Tydfil in April 2008 as part of c5alive participating in the Welsh Autofest classic car show (
http://c5alive.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,4.msg1157.html#msg1157 )
At that time I had only been at the helm of c5alive for about 2 weeks and running the website was all very new and still a little bit scary
It was a really great run, with some very funny moments, and the unusual experience of our c5 convoy having a Police escort that saw road junctions closed allowing us to whizz past bemused motorists
Sadly the autofest was never repeated and the Hoover factory has since closed down. This remained the best attended c5alive meeting for quite a while , only recently bettered by the turnout at Brooklands.
I think the picture has a bit of c5 history attached and feel it deserves its place at the head of our forum
