How many c5's are still out there ? if you are a c5 owner then how many have you got where are you, does it go and do you use it ?
I'll start, i have only one and live in King's Lynn, Norfolk, i have restored it this year and use it when i can, i wonder who's nearest to me ?

LOL! I remember seeing you bolt down the hill with scant regard for the traffic on the roundabout and I thought "wow some of these guys are hardcore C5'ers" - then it all became clear that your brakes had failed and that you were bricking it! LOL! :D :D :D You held your composure better than me mate - I'd have been squeealing like a little girl if that happened to me!! LOL
