I came across this on FB, to me half the fun was getting a 60 year old car to London, then on down to Brighton, seeing the people waving on the bridges, getting out of the car, having a bag of chips and a cup of tea, speaking to like minded people then driving the old girl back home all without lifting the bonnet. This on the over hand would seem to appeal to possibly the most boring, self righteous p#icks known to man who's main line of conversation would be how many miles to the KW they got.

Sadly I'm sure London Mayor Sadiq Khan and the Brighton Green Party will be very happy to welcome this EV rally of mainly Chinese built cars rather than all those polluting old British Minis....or thinking positively maybe there will be a few classic Mini EV conversions entered on the run?

some will have an interest in that, others won't, it's just whatever you're into I guess

 

I don't watch Formula-e either because I've got a scalextric set of my own if the mood takes me lol

 

still though it is the future, I was watching an autotrader review of the new E-aston and to be fair... I want one

A return to its roots, as a test of range & endurance 

 

...it will need a bit of thought by some, from farther afield, to be topped up with enough charge to start.

 

I can't see it being much of a spectacle in Brighton though, it'd get confused with a busy school run if it wasn't a weekend.

Hi,

 

It doesn't say that we Classic Mini owners cannot do the trip at the same time on mass.

I would be quite happy to pay £12.50 ULEZ charge just for the laugh.        

Only problem is I will be away then.

We did a l2b last year and last weekend. About 60 cars showed up this year but meeting places will be shored up for next year with some better parking options in or near brighton

Hi,

 

I was hoping to be there last weekend but other commitments had priority.
