Marvellous, just marvellous, love a C5.
Thanks for posting, and a tad wet there it seems.. :thumb:
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Nice to see these mammoth beasts whenever possible.
A deserved reward for staying out in the inclement weather.
Critically observing Pension regulatory activity... :D
