Driving into the city earlier I saw a guy going along London Road in a Sinclair C5. A first for me. I never even saw one back in the day.

Brave, brave man.

Like the 500 euro note in Spain, known as a "Bin Laden" because very few people have ever seen one.

You could rent a C5 by the hour in Weston super mare......wouldve been the summer of 86.

It was a fucking shit holiday, so ragging a c5 to death up and down the prom in the driving rain was a rare highlight.....

Had a track for them in St Nicholas Park, Warwick. Hire for a few laps but mostly always out of action.

If they continue putting cycle lanes in at the current rate could they or something like them make a comeback.
