Title: Sun Up in Hyde Park London
Post by: Barney on November 13, 2023, 07:50:45 AM
The London to Brighton  veteran car run - at the start the burning of the "Red Flag" speed limiter of the day 128 years + ago
Plenty of steamers - chain drives - top hats - Hoo rah Henry's and our very own Antique dealer Drew Pritchard from Salvage hunters
over 400 entry's  this year and they all arrived at Brighton
I think we will be going back to the red flag days soon with a man walking in front of us due to the 20mph speed limit in central London and spreading to all parts of the country in city centres "Total Ridicules idea" but there you go !!!

20mph speed limit, You'd be lucky to do 5 mph in all that traffic!

All that drizzle and grey sky makes England look like New England!
