Default London 2 Brighton Mini run

Was taking my daughter back to brighton uni this morning and did not know it was on today, soon found out when I turned onto the M23 but may I just say what a pleasure it was to be held up by so many classic minis, surely this has to be the only car to put a smile on your face as a spectator, great sight and lost count of how many I saw

Those stickers are funny

I did see on Facebook pics of this with someone I went to school with doing the run with her 'hateful' bmw mini... Did look rather out of place with all the tiny little minis around it.

anybody that has not owned or driven a classic mini has really missed out and should add that to their bucket list

My Mrs had one when we met which she adored, I've made her drive a Subaru now and she has gotten used to the extra grunt

Glad to see it was all proper Minis, not 1series BMW with a shit body Kit! Lol

An ex had one, great fun to drive. Had a full Webasto roof too.

I did see newer minis as well but those stickers on the classics put them in their place as later bmw versions have no interest for me
