If I'm planning on camping what sort of time should I arrive on Saturday?

 

Is there much to do at crystal palace / in the local area.

 

As I don't want to be super early but also don't want to be really late and at the back of the pack! 

 

Thanks David

Mine decided to properly blow coolant out the thermostat housing gasket yesterday (luckily I had already ordered new housing, thermo and gaskets - just in case at the weekend as I had spotted a little leak).  Fitted last night, but need a good thrash tonight to test properly that there isnt an underlying problem!   Then its off to hospital tomorrow to have the Hubble Telescope with cutter thingy shoved up somewhere it doesnt belong      , lets hope I'm not impersonating John Wayne for Saturday!!!

Good luck but definitely too much information!

Finally looking forwards to London to Brighton! For those of you who don't know my mini (Kermit) is still off the road after a stalled restoration, it looked like I wouldn't make London to Brighton . However I had a mini 25 sat around I bought to break from ebay in Jan for the pricey sum of £250, it was a complete car but rotten round back end, front suspension had collapsed and engine seized. that was 3 weeks ago! I decided on a limited budget of only £600 including purchase of car. I started project, get to Brighton in a mini for less than £600, a challenge most people laughed at and said it couldn't be done!

 

After Many long evenings and a wife and kids that no longer know how I am Robbie as he is now known passed his mot.

 

I look forward to seeing you all at Brighton!!

 

Below is the before and after pics.
