I wonder if anyone recognized the Nico Carstens tune 'Zambesi' in the intro to "Paperboy" -- /watch?v=VNyerK5IFP0&t=1m31s

Chris seemed to like it!

Well, not really...

@borbetomagus you right - lol I never noticed that before.

The C5 is only a novelty item now! That's all i would regard it as!!!

[UmpaEG]

@thepiper84 and what on earth makes you think we don't ?

[UmpaEG]

Hey guys - if you use profanity I won't allow your comments. Given the nature of the topic kids are likely to want to post here.

i bet in this day and age with new tecnology this could take off again

In the paper boy game, looks like he crashed into a C5 lol

A 24-volt motor and a modern Lithium-ion battery is all it needs to be fast enough to be terrifying.

I wonder... What would the Sinclair C5 have been like as a recumbent tricycle relying on pedal power alone? Having no motor and no battery would have made it a lot lighter...

@AndresVizoso It's called a Mahindra Gee Whizz.

The presenter just echoed my thoughts: even though this was a terrible vehicle, you've got to give Sir Clive credit for seeing into the future.Can you imagine what would have happened if the C5 had caught on?

[carnalascetic]

OMG! Thank you for uploading this!

[AndresVizoso]

i am more interested in the car he drives at the end, can anyone give me any clues?

[dmc081]
