Well folks, is there going to be a London to Brighton event for 2008?
I have had some interest from a couple of G-Wiz owners who would like to take part. I have also got confirmation that GoinGreen would be prepared to get involved in some way, shape or form, which has to be good news: their publicity alone would make a huge difference.
Although I now live a lot further away, I'll be able to get more involved this year than last. I have access to a couple of 6kVA generators and I could bring the battle-bus - a 1978 double decker bus - to work as a mobile centre of operations.
It would be good to get a date sorted out sooner rather than later as this is the season that a lot of people organise their summer holidays. Last year, the event was scheduled for July and the other half had already booked the annual two-weeks-at-the-seaside by the time we had a date.
South: Sun 6th July '08: National BVS London-Brighton Run.

Mike,
You know I've just been having that conversation myself with several people today.
I will keep you posted, because I'm not quite sure what the next few weeks will hold - surfice to say that I hope to have a date in the next two weeks!

Yup. We've even had talk of a convoy from Bristol to get there!
P.S. Mike, forgiven you for the G-Wiz Top Gear thing - Still haven't forgiven Top Gear!

Update: I've started talking to various people at Brighton and Hove council. Hopefully we can get the right person to speak with soon - and I'll have a date!

I thought as much there was no way that a table was going to do that to even a motorcycle and still not move.
That's pretty underhand. I have friends in television but for a programme that is supposed to be documentary (all be it comedy these days) that's out of order. I didn't see the episode and it was done very much tongue in cheek even for JC. Is the YouTube episode one that was actually broadcast?
I have to say though I do love watching TG it's about the only thing on telly I will go out of my way to see.
