	So after a last minute arrangement, a bit of traffic holding up HARDCORE and VIP (sorry), a new camera (yay), and a bit of a trip through Saturday night London I got to do something I've never done before, even though I've been meaning to for years... I went to the Chelsea Cruise! So first things first, these are the first photos with a new camera, they are pretty much all just set on Auto as I was seeing how the lenses were with a full frame, the light was unforgiving and I didn't shoot in raw so colour correction is all over the place... anyway, enough excuses here is some photos of what turned out to be a rather lovely evening in the company of Andy and Dan.

It was awesome and I want it! Chelsea Cruise 27th Sept 2014 by RetroSceneMag, on Flickr Thunderbird caused debate on why it looked so odd (the roof, the length of the rear,.. all sorts of issues), it looks nice from the front to me Chelsea Cruise 27th Sept 2014 by RetroSceneMag, on Flickr Rubbish lighting on a cream and green car, but I loved the way it sat Chelsea Cruise 27th Sept 2014 by RetroSceneMag, on Flickr Could of Fords hanging around at the end of the evening Chelsea Cruise 27th Sept 2014 by RetroSceneMag, on Flickr Along side a couple of reprobates!

	I meant to go, figuring it'll be the last warm one of the year - but failed very much enjoyed your pics though - the zephyr/zodiac is absolutely how I'd want one if I could afford

	/\ Last Saturday of the month. I could have rolled down to this in the evening as I do go now and again. Used to go on the tube before before I was old enough to drive...

	Great photos, amazing what can be achieved now at high ISO (I noticed some are up at 12800). Canon full frame performance is outstanding, use a 2.8L lens as well for maximum impact.

	First picture of the thread is a hot pink Camaro, second picture has a pink Pop/Anglia with silver flames and the last picture is an Opel Ascona in metallic pink. Unless I'm missing something.

So is this a 100%, categorical, set in stone, cast iron guarantee that no cars at the cruise could be described in any way, shape or form to be pink in colour ? Oh, there may well have been, I didn't see one but then I didn't see all the cars as I wasn't everywhere at once. I was referring more to the cars in the photos though. Two red, one purple.
