I have one of those too! Was the first I ever programmed.

@selzero

Well then, you know what to do.
Post the pic when you've bought one. Until then, you're on the side of the Axis as far as I'm concerned. :D

Pulls away in her C5

There you go, proof.

I also live 5 minutes walk away from his Sinclair headquarters building.

#WoofWoof & #Splendid.
So you must have seen your fair share of C5s.

All the hours spent copying code out of a mag to make a magenta square hop across the telly was worth all the friends ignored, I reckon. 🤣🤣🥰🥰🤗
I went through 3 of those keyboards - the silicone bit, I mean. They felt gross, but the 128k fixed that, thank jah.

@Gednet @selzero as an old owner of 2 C5's, it filled me with absolute joy that they are still being talked about...

Albeit in a somewhat joking sense 🤣

@SuitedUpDev @Gednet

If you owned TWO C5's I can only assume it was an attempt to upgrade your scalextric set.

SuitedUpDev,
@SuitedUpDev@mastodon.online avatar

@selzero @Gednet 🤣🤣 almost!

I genuinely drove one when I was still in university, from my home to uni and to my job back then.

Now I want another one again 🥲

@SuitedUpDev @selzero

Believe me, if I were able to have one, I would have. No hating here, friend. 😊
As my age had just reached two figures, I thought they were the future. Still do.
Just need to train motor vehicle drivers the ability to give a damn to observe low objects on the road.

@Gednet @selzero There was a "high visibility" marker available for the C5, which could be installed on the rear of the device. But when I bought my C5 they things were far and few between and bloody expensive :sadness: .

So what I did, I installed one of those orange flags meant for kids. Just so that I could prevent getting hit by a car.

@SuitedUpDev @Gednet

I'm still thinking that flag was from your scalextric set 🤔

SuitedUpDev,
@SuitedUpDev@mastodon.online avatar

@selzero @Gednet you and your scalextric obsession 🤣

@SuitedUpDev @selzero

I had one on my kinder wagon, so I can relate.
(not my actual wagon)

C5s would have been awesome here in Holland with all their bike paths 'n such.

@SuitedUpDev@mastodon.online avatar

@Gednet @selzero It was soooo awesome to ride one in NL... not including all the questions, face and stares I got while riding one.

I just went through my old picture archives and found 2 pictures of my old C5's.

On the first picture, the most left 2 one's were mine. The on the right belonged to a buddy of mine.

The second picture is me using my C5 like a genuine workhorse 😅

A C5 used being loaded up with stuff in it's trunk.

@SuitedUpDev @selzero

What a lovely sight to behold. Sweeter than cats for sure.
You could make a hood for it; like on a trike.

SuitedUpDev,
@SuitedUpDev@mastodon.online avatar

@Gednet @selzero Yeah before I got rid of them, that was definitely my plan.

I remember, scoring a half a rain coat (so one of the side panels).. and trying to clone it for the other side and figuring something out to keep my head dry.

I think, I was even sketching up something like a plexiglass / acrylic cover. Just so that I could stay dry.

@SuitedUpDev @selzero

Never let go of your dreams. If I see one in passing up for sale I shall be sure to let you know.
For now though get yourself a skelter. Sooooo cool.

SuitedUpDev,
@SuitedUpDev@mastodon.online avatar

@Gednet @selzero

A used C5 is even cheaper.... This is the first hit on the classifieds...

Gednet,
@Gednet@mstdn.social avatar

@SuitedUpDev @selzero

Oooow, that looks to be very good condition.
If it comes with a newish battery, that's worth the price, I'd think.

SuitedUpDev,
@SuitedUpDev@mastodon.online avatar

@Gednet @selzero Yeah it comes with an AGM battery and not the original lead acid.

So that's genuinely not a bad price for it. To bad, I currently do not have the storage space for it :sadness:

@SuitedUpDev

My father bought one of these. In the time he tried to convince his own mother, who already had a bit of trouble walking, to use it.

Never convinced her, and he himself used it perhaps a dozen times. In the end, he preferred his real car.

I also was never too convinced, though if it had had the form factor of a Vespa, I would have probably loved it.

I don't know what happened to the C5. We probably threw it away after my dad's death.
