A Sunday Out

Last Sunday Rob took me to Chelsea AutoLegends 2010. If I haven’t mentioned it before, he is a so-called petrol head. He loves cars, especially classic cars. He’s got the boxes full of classic car magazines, which I call his porn. Of course, unlike him I am one of those who think that cars are just another means of transportation. Anyway, off we went to Royal Hospital Chelsea grounds where this event was being held as early as we could – I was half-asleep on the way there. And here is a brief note what we have seen and done.

We saw the famous Chelsea pensioners, the residents of Royal Hospital Chelsea, as well as many star cars from Le Mans, classic cars and supercars.



There were a couple of car transporters – one of which was from the Scottish racing team called Ecurie Ecosse. Apparently Rob used to see the racing car being loaded onto this transporter in Edinburgh when he was young.



A cardboard cut-out of supposedly Steve McQueen and his car, Gulf Porsche 917 which featured in the famous racing film called Le Mans.



Bristol Fighter, one of Rob’s dream cars.



This FIAT 500 is more like my style.





And foodwise, we had a crappy burger for lunch after queuing for ages as you do at this of events.



But we had some wonderful cocktails at Harvey Nichols 5th Floor.



All in all I think it was a nice Sunday out.
