Some of the SVVS Members who have been spectating on the London to
Brighton Veteran Car Run traditionally meet up later at the Black Horse
in Hookwood, Horley, for a noggin and natter. This year the weather for
the Run was glorious and relatively warm. The sun shone and the sky was
blue. However there seems to be a steadily decreasing number of general
spectators along the route, which was a great shame. The Run may
possibly be losing its appeal due to the dreadful traffic. Following the
fatality to one of the participants couple of years ago seemingly due to change of
route, there was also one fatality this year also apparently connected
with the routing. It would be a great shame if any restrictions were
imposed on the Run due to these sad events. Perhaps better signage, more
Police and more Stewards would improve the situation., and/or specific
routing for the Veterans outside normal traffic?

This year the turnout of SVVS Members at the Black Horse was also low, only
six vehicles. There were however a couple of unusual cars present, these being
Ronart Jaguar Specials. The green one, a 4.2 straight six belonged to a member,
and the owner of the silver one. a V12, became a member on the day, The
green SUV is a 'funky' 2006 Honda Element.
