London to Brighton again
Hi all,
Thought you might enjoy this short film of my Model A on the London to Brighton run a couple of weeks ago. This is not the famous run (cars have to be pre-1905 for that) but one organised for classic, sports and kit cars. We were the second oldest car on the run - there was only a 1923 Stoneleigh Chummy older than us. https://vimeo.com/275380501 Cheers Patrick Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk |

In my humble opinion, the music was great. The only objection that I could find was that you drove the whole course on the wrong side of the road! Looks like great fun! Marty |

Re: London to Brighton again
I was in London for only 13 days back in 05.
Did not even know, until my daughter said the L to B run was on this weekend. Wow. I went down to Hyde Park, and there were over 400 entries all pre .1905. Was a sight and sound and smell to behold. They had them in batches and flagged them off to stagger them out on the road. They took off as if in a race, around a right hand bend and out the gate. Spindly smoke belching rattling buggies, was great fun. |

Re: London to Brighton again
X2 I don't think I could get used to driving on the wrong side of the road

Re: London to Brighton again
Was in Ireland a few years ago and put a lot of miles in driving on the left. Got used to it rather quickly and had no troubles with it. That is except for parking lots. I found my self driving on the right while in them. My wife was real good about reminding me to stay left. Also I found myself wanting to go to the left in round a bouts when I got back to the states. Never actually did it but the reflex to do so was strong for a while. Heading back there soon and looking forward to it. Wonderful country and super nice people.

hi Crosscut. I Live in Australia and because we were settled by the British we drive on the left. I had no difficulty in your country except where there was no or little traffic. I'd drive on the left. On coming traffic put me correct. Once I did get too close to a woman driving a VW and when she tooted I got a fright and swung towards her. I can still see her unhappy and hostile face. My Dad was in Europe during the war, POW, and for a short time after the war. He spoke about the British and American trucks crashing head on when they met on a windy road. He said, the British pulled left and the Americans pulled right. He said that they did more damage to themselves than the Germans could have done.

Re: London to Brighton again
Just curious. I know the pre-1905 London to Brighton run has a time limit to complete the run. Does this one have a time limit?

Re: London to Brighton again
Enjoyed the video ... and the music. We lived outside of Brighton for four years. Made that run myself, many times, but not in a model A. You would be surprised how easy it is to adapt to driving on the left.
