Hi all,
Well, its been a long time coming, but we are finally getting some meets to get out to!!! So last week I got down to the Chelsea Cruise 46th Anniversary, which was brilliant, I got there quite early on though and left quite early too, but I even managed to park up in the Park!!! I followed a cracking Black XR2 in... here we go...

So this was followed by a little walk round and I did thoroughly enjoy myself... This was too long coming!!! So here are just a few of the brilliant motors which were there early doors....
So I got into a mini, Mini line up...

So, the weather was still very hot and I had brought my Dad with me as he's visiting currently. But the heat was a bit too much, so we headed off after too short-a-time... But I still thoroughly enjoyed this and I'll defo be going back again. It is many years since I went to the Chelsea Bridge, in fact the last time, was probably on the bikes on a Friday night???
So then, onto this Sunday morning, up before the Sun and threw a bucket at the Cappa and headed off to the Black Swan. I'm so glad I did, as what a meet / show this truly is!!!! Blown Away with this. Well set up, loads of guides to help the traffic and a Massive field to park in, which they need the amount of motors that were there. This really was for everyone, there was a full spectrum of cars here, so I only have a few pics again as my dad started to overheat and his new knee got a full test out on the field!!!! Oops!!!! Anyhow, enjoy the pics I have here. I really enjoyed taking all these...
So I'll start with myself this time, then follow up with a few more Capri's then I'll go random... Cheers...
