London to Brighton, the Veteran Car Rally

Posted by on in Events

This year was the first time I actually helped out (sort of) with the veteran car rally. It’s an awesome event, and I’ve watched it to a greater or lesser degree for years and years now. This year for the first time I got a programme as well. In fact I didn’t even know that there were programmes for the rally.

I got a few half decent photos, or at least photos I think are half decent and I’ll post them soon enough, but I really liked this one a lot.

ZX81 Museum

I used to have a ZX81 and I wish I hadn’t got rid of it now. What an amazing little computer, and how much you could do with 1k of memory!

I’m glad to see that the ZX81 museum is a really well curated little site. I found quite a lot of stuff on there that I’ve had in the past.

These days I only have a ZX81 emulator on my Android phone. I must do some more bits and pieces with that soon.

Vintage Car Rally

Posted by on in EventsLeave a comment

Today was the London to Brighton Vintage Car Rally. I love watching these ancient vehicles on their way to Brighton. Every year I decide to make a real effort to watch as much of the rally as I can and every year something gets in the way. Usually staying in bed longer.

Today I managed to see more of it than I have for the last 3 years which was great, but even so I didn’t see as much as I’d like to. Maybe next year.
