Default London to Brighton Run 2009

A few pictures from the London to Brighton run we entered at the weekend.

Here's a short description of the day from Patrick.

On arrival at Brooklands is lighted up and we had a bit of time to dry out before leaving before following the route book to Brighton which was then nice and sunny.

On minor issue with car is that we ended up with a fish bowl in each door - some drain holes required!

Well we had a lot of and even some but no issues with the cooling. It kept the heater nice and warm which was a bonus going home.
My fan did cycle a bit more often than usual.
