My past has come back to haunt me.....

That takes me back. I was a member of Don Valley cruisers and we used to drive down to Chelsea to the cruise as it was the coolest thing at the time.
When people started doing burnouts with open headers that was when the well connected residents found a way to restrict the cruise.
It was interesting the cyclist (he is probably a road engineer now) and the adverts. How tame they are now as controls to stop performance were put in place.

Now, that brought back some memories as I remember seeing this on TV when it aired. I recorded it and vaguely remember the full programme featured some other youngish adults in their Mustangs.
Ditto, it was a great bit of nostalgia when I opened the video. Nice one Mr Streetrod, fantastic to see you are still an enthusiast and haven't drifted off to playing golf or something! I vividly recall watching this enviously with my mates wishing we had something like the Chelsea cruise to attend (nothing like it in the North). I also remember my mum and dad being appalled at the old Beetle being cut up despite it being obviously knackered (they were old school VW enthusiasts from a time when it was embarrassing to drive around in one).I the end it's just another one of those clumsy socio-political piss-boiler devils advocate documentaries "with a message" that proliferated during the 80s, and have come back into fashion. However as a time capsule of a simpler age it's awesome.
