What really, really Fecking gets me about London to Brighton (and this year will be my 11th and possible last if it happens again) is no matter what time I leave, I end up being forced to park right at the other end of the place in Brighton. even if I arrive really early. what the hell?!! It really really annoys me.
25minutes walk later you get the the right end to find people just arriving being parked up at the front. Really?! Sort it out people. Shouldnt it be first come gets the better spaces?! I have never been near the front and am starting to get really fed up with it all.

I agree! The only time I got a decent space was at show and shine when I was parked right in the show. In the end with that I only got to wonder around for the last half an hour cause the judges were late by 3 hours. So in that case it still wasn't beneficial.

Every year the people in front of me are directed to park right by the show, I think yes I'm at the front this year and I end up getting sent as far as a 25 min walk away! How do they work it out?

Isn't there like that Mini train that will take you up alongside the beach? (haven't been since the MK2 had a run)

[gregh55]

Volks Railway?

It doesn't always run.. Weather depending

How do i go about changing the details for my ticket as i have sold it?

[E.L.M.O]

Not sure your allowed to sell on the tickets...? I think your meant to return them for a refund for them to give to the next person?

Well L2B is really fecking me off with always sending me to the end. 10 years of it and I am really fed up now! Its beyond a joke! Its time they sorted it out. First come first parked at the front. The train is £5 each way as well.

[Nick '91]

Went on a classic mg run last year I think brooklands to brighton and they seemed to have the parking sorted out, first come first serve, although the B's were at the end.

[adam_93rio]

If the placesat the front were guaranteed for the people who got there first then it'd turn into a race which isn't legal and would be hard to avoid

And you can sell tickets as long as you don't make a profit then there's a contact us bit in the website

[the.stroker]

Tickets may be transfered but only for face value , LSMOC must be notified of the ticket number and the new details via their website

[Roo]

i got a ticket but now have no car can you get a refund on these / sell them on if needs be ?

If you do sell it on ,you can only sell it at face value (£30) you cannot make a profit on it.

And as Twincam says... you must pass the details of the new ticket holder on to L2B. (Full name, Reg and year of mini , ticket number)

As said on previous page.

hopefully those naty speedbumps (just as your about to leave crystal palace to go onto a mainroad) will have been removed this year, dented and scraped my stainless exhaust system and mullered a clamp, which made the exhaust blow and be very noisy! The worrying thing is my new minis even lower, GULP!

That won't be an issue this year as we won't be leaving via the old CP race track. Will be back to the usual exit.

And yes they were evil!
