Don't worry, these are not piccies of "Dave" they are of a trashed chassis that I have .
This one shows what can happen to the headstock if you bump down kerbs, hit a wall "head on" etc ;

This is a better piccie of the way the chassis can bend on the rear brake side if you hit a pothole,large bump etc too fast ;

No , I havent got round to fixing Dave yet - but strangely enough the damage is very similar and on the same side . Voodoo was the same when I got it, and Alans (from Cambridge) was also bent in the same place.
Maybe the brake side is weaker ?

I think it's the one C5Martin is restoring at the moment :-\
well i might have to buy it back have to start saving
So, if Martin is restoring a C5 does this mean that he will around still in the future ? I hope he is.
