It's a braver soul than I who can brace himself against gusting autumn winds and torrential rains protected only by a flat cap and waterproofs.
So my congratulations to those 500 plus intrepid motorists who weathered their way from London to Brighton for the veteran car rally on Sunday.
We spectators were delightfully rewarded for our efforts at the Madeira Drive finish line with an exhilarating display of more than 300 cars all pre-dating 1905.
This event is a true testament to the pioneering days of motoring and the gusto of today's enthusiasts.
-Ken Bodfish, leader, Brighton & Hove City Council
