              I think that they had them on Porthcawl's Trecco Bay Caravan Park and you could hire them out.

              The factory that made them was only 40 or so miles away in Merthyr Tydfil, so it sounds about right.

                They were supposed to be all the rage, but I don't remember anyone having or wanting one.

                  They were Sinclairs big flop.

                  They were fun to ride but the idea was you could use them in traffic and they would be all energy efficient and that. Trouble was in traffic they are the most frightening thing possible. A big lorry passing could just about blow you over.

                  You got fumes in your face the whole time and if something hit you you would be mincemeat.

                  Good for a laugh though

                    No, but I had the game on the Spectrum - C5 Clive.

                      I remember all the hype leading up to the unvail and the mass disappointment when it looked and drove like a toy go-cart. The water proof suits also made the driver look like a yellow gnome. Probably one of the most spectacular flops of all time?

                          Here's one that will make you feel old.

                          I have just started doing some volunteer work in a local Museum. One of the displays they sometimes have on is of old toys and games etc. They have actually got on of the C5's (don't think it still runs though) that is put on display.

                          The 'old toy' display is an eye opener in itself. Really bad when a Museum has items on display that you actually used to own .

                            I actually have the brochure for one of these. Found it when we moved house.

                              Cool, that could be worth something to a collector
