Mines the big white Hippo driving along the 66
I have never seen a white C5 :!:
It is the first car that I have owned where I haven't noticed hundreds of them once I have started driving it.

There are loads of C5's out there!
There are 3 near my parents house, 4 when I visit!
Surprisingly there are quite a few C5's in Misty Lilac of all colours.
Currently driving a 2004 C5 VTR (old shape) and an Electric Kia Soul. Sorry but the electric one is my favourite!

I've seen two others around west cumbria. Unless they are actually me after I invent a time machine (sorry, waiting for Dr Who to appear on the IPlayer)

I've seen a few C5s, but nowhere near as many when compared to Vectras and mondeos

Try Southern Spain! There's hundreds of white ones all being used as taxis. Also the Guardia Traffico use them as patrol cars.

I think it may be more accurate to say that I have never noticed a white C5. I have just seen 2 (both taxis) outside ASDA.

Quite a few White C5's at the CCC? I made a flying visit yesterday and spent the day there today and didn't see a white C5.

Ah no, not white C5s just C5s.

Sorry if I mislead you there.

Yes, loads of C5's there. Did I speak to you about advanced motoring?

Hi,

No. I was mainly talking to Brian Primmer and George Gosbee. In fact George connected his Proxia up to the C5 to read the codes. When I first arrived I was talking to a chap I'd parked next to, his was a silver 2.2 HDi I think. If I'd know you were going I'd have had a chat and a cuppa with you.

Had a quick word with Lez too.

Shame about the weather.

Steve.
