Annual commemoration run.

But it is not, and has

never been, a race.

Here's a very handsome machine.

- A Darracq, isn't it?

- Yes, that's right.

1904, isn't it?

- Yes, that's right.

- Yes, I thought so.

Well I wonder whether you'd

care tell listeners...

...how it was that you came to acquire

this, uh, vehicle Mr...

- Uh McKim.

- McKim, yes.

Well um,

My grandfather bought her new.

In about, uh, 1928 my uh...

My my my father found

her on a rubbish dump

Bought it for a pound

and rebuilt her. Um.

He's made all the runs...

I made all the...

He made all the runs before the

war, and I've made them all since.

That's astonishing. Thank you both

very much. And jolly good luck to you.

Thank you. Whew!

I wonder where Ambrose is?

You see Mr. Claverhouse?

He's gone to telephone.

His guest failed to appear.

He's due to start in five minutes.

Suppose after all that buildup

he's isn't even going to produce her.

Look!

- D'you think thats...?

- It must be.

It couldn't be anyone else.

I beg your pardon.

Are you miss Peters?

- Yes, you must be Mr. And Mrs...

- McKim, Alan and Wendy.

Ah, Ambrose's friends.

- Isn't he here?

- I think he went to telephone.

He'll be back.

- I, I'll take your cases over to his car.

- Thank you.

Suzy!

Come on, Suzy.

Come on.

There!

This is Suzy. She

can say, how d'you do.

Say, how d'you do, Suzy.

Say, how d'you do, Suzy. Oh.

She can do the cutest things

when she wants to.

It must be too

early in the morning.

Didn't realize it's going

to be so many people.

Ambrose said it's a

very exclusive club.

Suzy!

I usually leave her with

the housekeeper where I live.

But she's been ill,

so I had to bring her.

- You don't think that Ambrose'l

mind, do you? - Mind?

Of course not.

He'll be delighted.

Here we are.

Is that it?

This is it.

Oh, no!

Is this Ambrose's?

But has it got brakes

and everything?

I know he said it was an old car, but

the way he talked about it...

...I thought it was something wonderful!

You'll get used to it.

They all talk like that.

Rosalind!

Hey, Rosalind!

- Hi!

- Hi.

Good morning, Wendy.

Morning, old sport.

So reason prevailed, eh?

Thank heavens you got here. I've

been calling your number all night.

Oh I'm sorry, but I went to that party

on friday, and it sort of got out of hand.

Everybody decided to fly to jersey.

Aw. Oh well, never mind.

What's that?

I was going to leaver her with the

housekeeper, but she's been sick.

- The dog's been sick?

- No, of course not. The housekeeper.

But Rosalind. We can't take that

mutt all the way to Brighton.

She's not a mutt.

She's a sweet dog and has

absolutely perfect manners.

Can't you understand? We can't

take that great big fat, lump of a...

Alan, bear me out.

It just won't do, will it?

- Well, I don't see why not, old man.

- Oh fine, fine that's very funny.

Mr. Claverhouse.

Mr. Claverhouse.

You're next.

All right. But we'd

better get aboard.

Will the cars on the eastern side...

- Rosalind in fact hurry up!

All the cars on the eastern

side are first.

You'll find it'll be all

right, once you get started.

You're a great help.

You are.

- Suzy's itching, anyway.

- Bah!

- See you in Brighton. Goodbye.

- Bye, Wendy!

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

No standards.

Nobody home.

Happy, darling?

I know I was a silly

ass, yesterday.

It just wouldn't be

the same without you.

I love you.

You know that?

And I love you, too. And

I'm glad I came. Really.

Oh, blast these

tram lines!

You know. I think she's

feeling better now.

I think she's even

beginning to like it.

- Aren't you Suzy?

- But where did you get her?

I found her.

During the war.

I think she was blitzed,

because she was awfully neurotic.

Do you know

For a long time she wouldn't

eat anything except ravioli.

Isn't that strange!

- Not too cold, are you darling?

- No, I'm fine.

I don't think it'll

rain, anyway.

I must say. Considering how

little time I had to work on her

The old girl's

really behaving herself.

You should never

say a thing like that.

Nothing important.

It won't take a minute.

- Want some coffee?

- No thanks. Not now.

- Having trouble?

- We shall be all right, thank you.

- All right for petrol?

- Yes, quite.

Better try a new fling.

Modern car owner

for you. Typical.

I thought that

was very funny!

- Didn't you think it was funny?

- No I didn't.

- Oh, darling, it's not even 10:30.

- What do you mean?

You can't lose your temper now.

If you lose your temper now. What on

earth are you going to be like by evening.

Wendy!

Oh, my golly.

It's all gone through my skirt!

Do something!

Why don't you do something!

Give me a towel. Quick.

- Here's another one?

Stop beside him.

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Oh, I'll have to change

absolutely everything.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Darling.

Oh, you are clumsy.

It's all your fault.

Why couldn't you be

more careful?

It's ruined the dress.

Wendy I'm terribly sorry.

I didn't know you were

pouring the coffee.

- Otherwise I wouldn't of

threatend to start her. - Alan.

Darling.

Now look here my friend.

We don't want any...

Very nice.

Thank you very much.

Hold on there!

What's the matter, chum? Don't you

want to see yourself on the film?

Take your Mrs. To the local.

She'll love it.

Wendy. Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

Darling, I'm terribly sorry.

Are you soaking?

- Is there anything I can do?

- Yes.

Put these in the car.

Here, and this too.

Hello, McKim.

Hello love.

I'm sorry, darling.

It was my fault, the whole thing.

Never mind. It's not

as bad as all that.

Come on. Let's go.

You know I wouldn't blame you,

if you said you wanted to turn back.

Well I don't.

Are you sure?

Are you sure you're not just saying that.

Look, I don't want you to go on with

this just because you think I'd be hurt.

I'm perfectly willing

to go home.

I mean it.

- We'd get back in time for Tania's party.

- Oh, come off it, Alan.

- But I mean it.

- You don't mean it a'tall.

You know as well as I do we shall be

in Brighton tonight dead or alive.

- But you want to go on?

- I've said I want to go on.

- I know, but if you did want to go home.

- All right.

All right, what?

- Let's go home.

- Uh?

I want to go home.

- Do you mean it?

- Of course I mean it!

Darling, you are serious, aren't you?

- You're not just...

- Oh, for heaven's sake, Alan.

You know perfectly well

we're going to Brighton.

Are we gonna sit here

all day?

- Do you realize what good time we've made.

- I told you...

I know, I shouldn't say things like

that. But the fact is, we've had.

I've just had an idea.

Don't you want to know

what it tis?

You should do, because

you're going to be delighted.

All right.

Delight me.

Look old harry's pub is only half a mile

ahead. We're going to stop and...

...I'm going to buy you a jolly good lunch.

You know what? I'm going to

buy you a jolly good dinner.

I'm not counting on that, either.
