A chilly set off at about 7am, headed off towards Redhill with Mr Dslam to see Veteran cars heading their way to Brighton.

Hands up who's seen the film Genevieve ?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genevieve_(film)

Well, here she is, a 2 cylinder 1904 Darracq of 12HP, and we got a wave from the peeps on board too!  ;D

We stayed and watched for about 2 1/4 hrs, was a bit chilly but another spectator we got chatting to made us a coffee from his van which sure helped.
Would I recommend it - yep, sure would!  ;)

Is that the actual Genevieve Tony, or one of the same model? Great film.
I've never watched the London to Brighton, but always said I would one year. Did the trip with the Morris Minor owners club a few times. As you say, a chilly day, but bet it'd be a fun journey.
