A Subaru Legacy 'Brighton Special Edition' AWD in moss green with grey plastic fenders. dbd would have loved it, it reminded me very much of his description of a "lesbian car". Roof racks and a snowboard box in black completed the look.

No it was cert a Legacy. Maybe just bi-curious and wishing to reflect that in choice of auto. Cruisin' time, sometimes ?

Outback Mountain ?

Here's a boring fact. The bit in that film where you see the mods approaching Brighton and looking down on it from the South Downs......

.....is a view of somewhere else. Eastbourne, I think.

Yeah. The road into Brighton where you could possibly get that camera angle would be the road down from Devil's Dyke (how very Brighton). And that view is not one I remember from that road.
