London to Brighton kit car run 2008

[Pb3]

Any PHers taking part this year? I have just seen a comment on last years thread that the kitcar turnout was pretty low, am I going to be the only one there this year?

Sunday 8th June, starting at Mercedes-Benz World

It starts and ends at the same venues as the classic car run, but takes a different route in between.

I'm in the same boat - seems like it could be good fun.

That's why I've never done it nor will I.

Nice idea but not at that price.

That's okay.

Is the museum any good? I've not been to it before.

That's nothing compared to the fuel costs

Thought it would be good to do this, then saw the price.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm no thanks

This seems like a good idea, but definitely not paying that kind of money, and I'm not fussed about leaving my car amongst the hoards in Brighton. Quite tempted to go to either the start at Mercedes World (which is really good, if you haven't been..and its free) or go down to the Working Museum place where they are having a pitstop.
Is anyone else thinking of doing this rather than taking part?

All public roads . . . just interlope! (happens every year on the mini run - only 2000 official places, people just loiter around and tag onto the convoy)
