Hi
I was due to be going down to watch, but won't be this year now. My mate takes part usually in a couple of cars.
Do you?
Cheers
Dave |

Often go to watch it, only an hours drive for me. Even if you're not interested in veterans most enthusiasts go in their old cars and there's plenty to see.
The event is really part of my life, as a child I lived on Streatham High Rd
and watched every one, from my bedroom window, from when they restarted after the war until the 1956. I must confess to a bit of wimpishness this year... I'll go if the weathers fine.

Hi Guys
I usually see it as it goes passed the end of my road. In fact there's been quite a lot of vehicles passing through the A23 towards Brighton. About 3 weeks ago in the space of about half an hour I saw a procession of Land Rovers of all ages, including more recent 4 by 4's tagging along as well. Two weeks ago when I was driving up the A23 I saw about 30 Camper Vans! I'm presuming these are all club meets. |

Just after the end of 1904 cut off I think.
