wesacosa Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I spent all of last weekend lamenting the amount of projects I have to do on the fleet. My Westfield is now in lots of bits in the garage, my m3 needs new springs, drop links and a PAS pipe, The R56 Cooper S always needs something doing, the Favorit could do with a bit of fettling and the V40 is just about done. So the absolute last thing I need is another project of any type. So when a cheeky Wednesday eBay bid on a cult 80s icon which was been sold from a scrap dealer and looked like it hadn't moved for 25 years wasn't bettered I found myself heading off to Watford today for another project to add to the collection.......

They’re clearly important enough for you to forgo any kind of rational thought! (P.S. can I have a go when it’s working ?) wesacosa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tadhg Tiogar Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Test drove one in Hyde Park when they were launched. Felt fast because low to the ground, but battery life not the best. There are better batteries nowadays that will go into a C5, anyway. wesacosa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done mate I remember when I was a kid we used to take my grandparents up to the seaside and there was an amusement arcade with bingo which my mum and Grandma would play, the star prize which was hanging from the roof was a C5 , always wondered if they would win it but they never did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
