RAC London to Brighton Car Rally Sunday 2nd November


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

On the Sunday 2nd November there will be the London to Brighton car rally, I intend to drive the route from London to Brighton with some fellow members of the forum. My car is full, but robert_parker will also be driving the route and has some space availiable in his car, please contact him via the forum if you wish to come along!

 

Of course if any other members wish to drive themselves and offer the space in their cars that would be great as well!

 

Our itinerary for Sunday will be:

 

- Meet at Hyde Park Corner at 6 am

- Once the vintage vehicles have left, we will set off, making our way to Brighton along the route.

- I will of course be coming back to London with my passengers in the evening

 

 

I did this last year and there are some fantastic photo opportunities and the vintage cars make many stops in some small villages and there are many break downs to be seen

 

On Satruday the 1st November some of my fellow passengers will be staying in the Easy Hotel, Old Street we intend to meet up Saturday afternoon/evening to do some photography around the area and have a meal.

 

Regarding the itinerary for Saturday we will confirm closer to the date.

Best,

Many thanks to Ivor for putting this together. I would not have woken up and traveled across London before sunrise for this otherwise. It was good seeing you Elaine, Mike, John and of course, George.

 

Now for some photos... the first one was inspecting the car before sunrise by candle powered headlights and a coal fire (it is a steam powered car)

I'm very keen to see what the others have come up with during the start when I was with you and beyond.

Lovely stuff there Dan. It was good to catch up again. A big thanks to Elaine and Ivor for toting us around. Sadly the weather deteriorated significantly en route to Brighton but a good few shots were taken. Watch this space.....

 

Regards
