It's 10 years this September that The Chelsea Cruise was re-started, lets try to make this a big one, lets not sit back and let it go by, it's been a long hard struggle to get this far, spread the word from now until then.

10 years........ you kids just can't remember the days. .........

Some of us are old enough to remember Do they still run at Trinity road?
Or have times changed? Plenty of good cars used to run Alan Gould's Superbird, Whits Charger , Paul Batemans Satellite, Martin Bonners 55 Chevy, the Lil Whopper Camaro, Mick?Mike Halls Camaro come to mind I'm sure you can remember more.

Yep me too. I never ever saw Alan run the Bird @ Trinity. Also not forgetting Fat George & his GTO , Neon Star was an occasional visitor are a couple more that come to mind

I also remember Trinity road late at night. I was also at the first Chelsea cruise, had to go on the bus I was too young to drive......

where cars even around that far back?

Yep only went to Trinity a couple of times, as I wasn't too keen on Street Racing, but once happened to be on the big bust night with Graham Barrs, I remember him telling me that he told a Police guy to F**k off, you couldn't drive my car if you tried, with the clutch he had in that car I believe him!!!......also went to Tolgate Rd a few times, remember Steve Rawlings lent me his 440-6pk s/bee to take down there and try and get it to run a bit better, but the carbs were shot, it was painfully slow.

Was a regular at Chelsea cruise, first with the '68 Charger in early 1979 then the '65 Muzzy and finally with both the '71 Cuda's, good times chatting with Arno, Gary Mills and all the others, rolling burnouts outside the pub etc., quite a few winged cars about then, and a couple of Hemi challengers, the one I remember well was Ashley Troops of Madness Camaro fame....remember some pratt trying to do a static burnout in the bridge car park with a vette I think and drove it straight into another car, that was the end of the car park, good old days though they were, no doubt a far cry from what the cruise is today.

The early days were crazy alright, it really was like American graffiti, shaving foam fights, the Hard Rock Cafe, street racing, mooning, the mutoid waste company, I don't know how we got away with it, force of numbers I guess. I did get nicked in the big Trinity road bust though....

I was crapping myslef a bit with the Muzzy, but by the time they got to me, they just said move on........

I was stuck there for about 4 hours, should have just done a runner like a few others did, they were well and truly mob handed though.

Where do you meet pre cruise Derek , crispy ? And what time etc

early 70's was the likes of nick butler & model T, baldeccino & Anglia all sorts of ford pops around the kings rd area, I remember watching baldeccino building his Anglia outside his terraced house, just off wandsworth bridge rd, sh%t I forgot how old I am!

Love the "OLD NAMES" but they were 2nd class on the day............"WITT and Co", Butler, Gould, to name only a few of real "OL SKOOL" Boys..... You youngsters missed the "BEST YEARS"
