I hope that Mr Bishop didn't get as wet as I did!

Looks like Joe and Danny could do with some window wipers!!

At least they had screens unlike Mr Jones! For the record it threw it down without a break at Brighton from soon after ten - when it changed from drizzle - until all had arrived. It was a horrible day throughout the run and well done to all who made it including the Orange!

I am pleased it got there.

Spoke to Joe today, and he said he did the Run in 4 hours,which is pretty good going.

Sadly it broke down on the finish line just ahead of the Bishop Foden and had to be pushed to the side where it remained. But considering its purpose as a parade promotion vehicle getting to Madeira Drive was maybe the achievement of the day.

Isn't it just a mini with a silly body? I recall looking at it at the Nat Motor Museum when we used to go to the autojumbles

I think about 4 or 5 Oranges were built for Outpsan for advertising purposes.

You are right they were based on Mini mechanicals.

Had it ran out of juice?

I've done the London to Brighton quite a few times now, and I can honestly say that Sunday was by far the wetest I've ever experienced. Leaving Crystal Palace in torrential rain was enough to test anyones committment to this wonderful cause.

Well done to all those who came to watch!

Lets hope next year will have wonderful weather to help celebrate its 50th Anniversary.
