LONDON TO BRIGHTON
Said to be the oldest motor car event in the world. First run in November 1896, in the rain of course, and run most years since then. It is only a drive of 54 miles, but in these early buggies it must seem like a long way.
They were expecting over 500 cars to make the run. With a couple of stops along the way it must have been great fun. I wonder if anyone kept track of how many were run in the rain. I'll bet there were quite a few.
77 cars failed to finish the run. All cars must be produced before 1905. Boy, we sure love our cars.

FORMULA ONE IN ABU DHABI
A well deserved splash for Raikkonen as he became the winner today. I have said in several other posts that he would do it soon. Today was the day. Alonso was closing in on him at the end and had to settle for second place. Vettel got lucky with safety car slowdowns and fresh tires to make it to third after starting in pitlane. A very good run. Webber got whacked three times and as the old saying goes, "three times you're out" holds here.....he was. I am happy to see Raikkonen win, he has had a very interesting year. Ten points between Vettel and Alonso with two races to go. I am sure it will go down to the last race. Two races to go, a new one in the United States and Brazil.

TSUNAMI SURVIVOR
2004 HARLEY-DAVIDSON
From Miyagi Prefecture in Japan to Graham Island in British Columbia, Canada, to Milwaukee, Wis., the motorcycle tossed across the Pacific Ocean by the 2011 Japanese tsunami has landed at the Harley-Davidson Museum.
The 2004 Harley-Davidson Softail Night Train owned by earthquake and tsunami survivor Ikuo Yokoyama is now on display at the museum as a memorial to those affected by the March 2011 tsunami. The motorcycle will be preserved in the condition it was in when Canadian beachcomber Peter Mark found it inside a cargo box that washed up on Graham Island in May 2012.
Yokoyama, who lost loved ones in the disaster and still lives in temporary housing, declined an offer by Harley-Davidson to restore and return the motorcycle, asking instead that it be enshrined as a memory of the disaster.
