Yeah... I remember the Chelsea Cruise when it started on the Kings Road and went in a big loop over Albert Bridge and Chelsea Bridge and all you could hear was the rumble of V8's instead of the Psssssshhhht of Chump Valves..


Perhaps.... just maybe.......... its the rumble of V8's and the whole American/Custom Car thing they mean by Old School.......

Kerching !!! You get my vote fella..... and I think this is what Morcheen is drivin at re: Ace Cafe.

Dare I say it... Old School nights are being ruined by people who dont drive old school cars and instead of just going at looking and appreciating the Old School stuff and perhaps learning a thing or two... they insist on showing off their driving prowess in their 'new school' cars....

Hissing their chump valves, squeaking their tyres and flashing their flamer kits...
