Title: Chelsea Cruise 35th Anniversary Post by: 53catalina on April 27, 2010, 09:41:47 PM 35th Anniversary of the famous Cruise. Park in Battersea park after 5pm, and spend the evening cruising Kings Road and Chelsea Bridge.
29th May 2010 Title: Re: Chelsea Cruise 35th Anniversary Post by: Manky Monkey on April 27, 2010, 09:45:42 PM Would love to do that one. Got fond memories of travelling up to Chelsea on the train as a schoolkid, (how many parents would let their kids do that now?), to spend the evening walking around the circuit, just watching the cars cruising by.
Title: Re: Chelsea Cruise 35th Anniversary Post by: twolanes on May 03, 2010, 12:54:35 PM Its getting bigger every month but will never be like it was back in the old days. We restarted this a few years back after Steve Pyle (on here with the 65 nova) suggested getting it going again. Its a shame that the other person there has decided to tell everyone it was him that thought of restarting it.

Keep a spot warm for me guys -after spending so many Saturday nights there as a spectator in my youth, I'd love to go back as a participant once my Pop's finished.

Thanks for the photos. Title: Re: Chelsea Cruise 35th Anniversary Post by: Manky Monkey on June 02, 2010, 11:35:12 PM A second gallery of photos now added, courtesy of one of my workmates, Bob.
