Title: Future car challenge, Brighton-Crawley-London, Saturday November 3rd.
Post by: Jim on 26, October, 2012 - 15:47:54

Just a reminder that this is coming up next weekend. I won't be going this year but found out about it when checking the details of the related veteran car run that happens on the sunday.

Has anyone else thought of entering a C5?

How would anyone get  the C5 with 2 people on board from Brighton to London in 3 hours?
In the back of a van probably!

You'd need all the boot and battery space to accomodate the drugs paraphernalia and the blood plasma bags so he'd have to pedal the whole way-and he would probably still do it in under the 3 hours maximum allowed!
