Shame I didn't know about that. Brighton is only a few miles from here.  I could have had a nice day out with the camera for nothing courtesy of my free bus pass. :'(

Cute cars -- though the old Mini & new mini are 100% different cars ... new Mini is a BMW with the original mini 'concept' design idea  ... Are they still making that old mini? If so who's making it? I know it was still being made a few years ago (I'm sure it has stopped now)

A bit like the new Rolls Royce - which is also in fact a BMW, as they purchased the right to use the RR name on cars - but the RR factory was bought by Volkswagen which now only makes Bentley cars there (& finished at the Audi factory Germany) ... confusing?  Nooo .... :)
