Several years ago I got run over by a Sinclair C5. Well when I say run
over,
I actually mean it stopped dead in its tracks when it hit me!!

A local holiday park where I used to do the Sunday Lunchtime disco bought a
job lot of C5's and removed the electronics. They then used them as pedal
cars for the kiddies. Having finished the disco I was carrying the gear
back
to the van and as I emerged from the doorway onto the pavement carrying two
speaker cabinets I was rammed by said C5. Luckily it wasnt that heavy due
to
the lack of mechanical/electronic parts. Had it been a complete C5 with an
adult in there it could probably have done a fair bit of damage to me.
