lemon is "citron" and not "citroen" but it's "citroen" in the Netherlands...

Kawasaki made some of the tunnel boring machines that excavated the Channel Tunnel an'all. Their jet-ski's are piss poor however, compared to Bombardier SeaDoo (awesome Rotax engine) and even Honda's new 4 stroke ski.

Fair cop with the avatar, Robbo - it does look a bit 'plastic shrouded'. Apparently there's a 350ci LT1 under there somewhere. I'll swap it for a more flattering shot (I know how you admire these cars so).
If your interested in a Jetski a mate of mine has a Yamaha Wave Raider inc. trailer for sale. It's up in Bradford, but worth going and fetching. He only wants 3 1/2 grand for it and you can water ski off the back of it. It's a proper beast.

Hate to admit this out in the open - But i am coming out -

I quite like the C5 and the  racing C5R , looked better in Yellow . Makes great power.

But..

My verdict is out regarding the handling  , until i have driven one.

I didn't realise Sinclair bought out a racing version of the C5. And I only ever saw them in white!!   ;D

They were a nightmare!

It was at the time that I was running a courier business down in Holland Park and you just couldn't see the little blighters. They would hug a line of parked cars and because they were below the roofline, didn't get to see them until the very last knockings.

Was tempted to get a batch of C5 stickers made a la WWII planes and have one put on each of the vans/cars/bikes when they had a close call!! I would have had about 40.

 ;D

An old neighbour of mine actually bought one of those, and I sat in it, once, out of curiosity...............I've never felt so unsafe in my life. :o  How there wern't loads of fatalities I'll never know.

Probably because, like you, they were scared sh*tless of using it on the road so they all ended up in the back of peoples garages.
