A VERY INTERESTING TRADITION

Every country has its traditions. As you know in England traditions play a very important part in the people’s life. Here is one of those traditions.

Every year a large number of old cars drive to Hyde Park in London to take part in the run. Among the cars there are those which were made at the beginning of the century. The run takes place on the first Sunday in November. It begins at eight o’clock in the morning from Hyde Park. Some cars look very funny. The drivers are dressed in the clothes of the time the cars were made. The oldest cars drive in front. The run is not a competition, but a demonstration of cars of all models.

Some cars come to Brighton, which is about a hundred kilometres from London only late in the evening; others don’t get there, they have to stop on the way.
