London to Brighton Mini Run 2023 - SO HOW WAS IT??

[@Paulsmithmini191]

Cant believe i didnt bump into you! Spotted amber and she looks even better in the flesh. Top quality work honestly better than alot of restoration companies. See you at the next one

[@SimpsonsClassics]

I know buddy it was a shame. It took us so long to get parked up to. Hope you had a good day and thanks for those kind comments about amber I am very proud considering the conditions and it being my first one. 👍

[@TheCurlyP]

What a great set of cars, love the blue brothers tribute

[@Car_and_classic_lover]

Great video of an awesome show! I really hope its not the last. I came from south wales to do the event so made it into a long holiday. It was my bucket list dream to do the event in a proper classic Mini! Even though it was a bit stressful in parts (there was a small break down on the m4 lol) I'd do the hole event again in a heartbeat! I was one of the first cars in so I can't believe I didn't see you or the car but im glad you made it safely and it was amazing to see you enjoying Amber after the restoration👍😎

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Hey thanks buddy. I am glad you made it into a holiday that’s a good idea. Yes it’s nice to see amber living her best life in Petemates collection and even better that I got to drive her still.

[@stevejeffery6508]

great video we had a load of minis that visited pentewan in cornwall wer u there as well had to ask.

[@Fourwheeledfarming]

I was there in my Mpi. That overheated too! 😂

[@darrencottrell5541]

One word only required 'epic'. 😊

[@jamesnorman2108]

I can see my clubman estate by the mini pickup

[@johndaly2180]

I have to say the one thing I absolutely love about the classic mini .. the amount that turned up to the event and I didn't see 2 the same . Looked like a fantastic day .. maybe next year I could go in the mpi .. seems an easier dream to have than the 87 .. shame you were stuck between 2 binis .. and I will not comment on a battered sausage in Brighton 🙈

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah it’s so nice seeing so many in a line for sure. Definitely get that mpi over here for next year it would be ace to meet up. Haha can’t beat a battered sausage.

[@Thisistrulyoddtv_Mark]

I’ve heard this one was the last one because not all cars where ulez compliant my modern mini luckily being from 2016 is ulez compliant but them old girls aren’t so bad the uk government has this ulez it needs scrapping and stop saying it’s because of global warming it’s to line there pockets , Your mini is awesome 👏🏻 😊

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yes this was the last run unfortunately which was a massive shame. I agree it should be scrapped there is absolutely no gain other than to make others rich. Thanks for watching 👍

[@retroautos4570]

8:17 that’s me in my black mini 😂

[@malcolmharvey397]

I have been trying to find my 1275 Mk1 (I’m fairly sure that it was HJB 528D. It was John Fitzpatrick Monte Carlo rally recce car)

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Oh wow that sounds an awesome car!

[@gamerwhipup]

is amber the budget clubman?

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yes she is 👍

[@scottb926]

Thanks for cutting out the new minis! 😂 We get them turning up to the mini shows in Northern Ireland also. Ruin the ambiance! Not that I have anything against them.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Haha I know it’s getting a little over ran now with new minis not that we mind them we own one but it wrecks the look of the show for sure.

[@Mrtom248]

Great video. Did that in my first mini, my old s reg thou. Was a great day out. Shame if its the last one.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks Thomas. Yes it will be a shame if it’s the last one. Thanks for watching

[@philhuggett4776]

The Blues brothers tribute, on a mission from god! Brilliant

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah it was ace that wasn’t it

[@jeremyjames1972]

What a total thrill! Amber is gorgeous! Always loved a Clubman. I've had 3😁🙌🏼

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Hey thanks! Glad you like amber I do love a clubman for sure.

[@jeremyjames1972]

@Simpson's Classics I'm in Cape Town, South Africa where we built Minis up until 1983. The last ones were all unique Clubman's called the 1275e. Still my favourite after the GT and South African GTS.😀

[@velmathemini]

The clubman is awesome 👌. As for the battered sausage 🤔 I'm not sure. My dad is from Plymouth so I spent all my youth between the North & South, mainly eating pasty & chips & fish chips & gravy 😂😂😂.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks buddy gravy and chips you sound like Mrs s lol 😂

Epic day great to see some of your local mini scene in the UK.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks for watching buddy 👍

[@classic1989mini]

5 hours to drive back home from Brighton? wow! Somewhere in the northwest then?.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah I live in the northwest near Manchester buddy. So the sidewalk had a nice drive home.

[@classic1989mini]

@@SimpsonsClassics in Bolton myself. Still to improve my Mini Sky to something reasonable, ha

[@SimpsonsClassics]

@@classic1989mini oh so not far away then buddy. The mini sky looks ace

[@classic1989mini]

@@SimpsonsClassics I may call on you for some advice,

[@wwfcdunc]

Its changed so much since the last time I went. No Crystal Palace, no Red Bull, Massive buildings on the beach, half of Maderia Drive fenced off. Take it they dont do the gymkhana any more.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Nope it’s all changed. In all honesty it’s not the same as before at all less tickets sold due it parking restrictions on Madeira drive to.

[@wwfcdunc]

Very sad. Also sad how long I've been out the mini game. My first show was Mini in the Park when it was at Cornbury Park. I was 13 and we went in an Escort 😆 I was doing the L2B most years in the late 90s, early 2000s. Really hope they continue doing it! I think the BMWs would annoy me nowadays as well.

[@malcolmharvey397]

OUF if a Brighton Registration!!

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yea so I believe

[@Fourwheeledfarming]

I was there in my Mpi. That overheated too! 😂

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Oh dear!

[@peterobrien3539]

Amber looks great, very tidy.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks really happy with her for a budget build.

[@shaunb4265]

Glad to see cb radio is still alive. Great video mate

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks buddy

[@nickproofcertified]

Awesome vid bud! Absolutely gutted I couldn’t make it! Millie is still poorly couldn’t get her back together in time 😢

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks buddy. Hopefully there is next year you can bring her.

[@andyfry1970]

Hi Marc, loved seeing the budget clubman!!! And yes you can't beat being in a long line of Classics!!! All part of the fun hey. 😊

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Hey thanks glad you liked her. She was definitely bright on the day. 👍

[@lonmar2645]

Wow thats such a bright yellow colour in the sun. Really shines too. Cant help but also be impressed at the headliner fitment too... And as i type this you just said that too 😂

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah it’s a bright one but not over the top. So happy with how she came out for a driveway repaint. Haha yes mrs s smashed the headliner. Thanks for watching 👍

[@graemew7001]

Battered sausage is way better than a battered beef burger imo, no double meaning intended lol. The atmosphere at that event looks truly epic.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

🤣 I get what you saying…

[@recreativesigns4571]

Awesome. Great to catch up with you. Just seen my wife and son make an appearance in your video as they walked along the seafront. It was a fantastic event.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Haha it was great and thank you very much for my gift it will appear soon to the channel. 👍

[@recreativesigns4571]
