Ace Cafe Porsche meet 23/9/04

[John Sims]

What about it then Guys?

A little convoy from Essex perhaps?

For more details see R20 London.

 

[Carl.Young]

I'd be up for it. Never been to the Ace cafe.

 

[Guest]

I could be in John

 

[Guest]

yep will check nearer the time again (depends on work travel) but I could be up for it too

It's in my diary. I'll have to confirm nearer the time but the Ace Cafe almost seems legendary (i've never been - just see the name come up time and again on here). It would be good to go.

Out of interest, do they sell cars there too? Steve's on the hunt for an old 911 which needs some minor work doing to it. Could it be good for sourcing cars?

[John Sims]

It transpires that I will be in the middle of a 4 day First Aid course so timing could be a little tricky.

Assuming I don't have lots of home work [] it should be a go. If anyone wants to crash on the way home perhaps I could practice what I will be learning. [8|]

 

[Guest]

No cars, just burgers and beer.

Mind you, some of the participants might sell.

How about meeting at 7:30 by the Little Chuff car park Brentwood M25/A12 Junction?

 

[Guest]

I won't be able to make it got a boozy biz lunch so won't be driving Thursday night.

 

[John Sims]

got a boozy biz lunch

It's nice to hear that some still have the time for such things []

 

[Carl.Young]

I'm up for that John. If I can find it [*notoriously useless at navigation*]. Then I can follow you to the ace. []

See you at 7.30.

 

[John Sims]

See you at 7.30.

Yes indeedee. Should be a good evening.

I've just washed BKE as he was filthy from the Cornwall weekend, and following a run up to Nottingham yesterday. He is being rained on now so that all spells well for a good start. I have fixed a problem with the heating though, so I should be warm at least.

 

[Carl.Young]

Thanks John 'the navigator' Sims - we got home ok! I never drive into London (always use the train) and hadn't realised it's 50 miles from where we live! Still, a worthwhile trip - some impressive machinery on display. Good atmos at the Ace and the bacon sarnie hit the spot.

BTW John, do you reckon Beaky uses more fuel before or after it reaches the exhaust?

 

[Melv]

He does seem to be quite fuel efficient at the moment so perhaps it's 50/50 []

You missed Rick's firework display on the way home. If I could have got close enough I could have toasted marshmallows. And the bangs going through the tunnels made silly biker boys look very childish in comparison.

It was a great evening, lets hope we can encourage a few more of the Essex possy to join us next time.

Next one, Monday 25th October -BE THERE!!!

I'm told that this is half term so I should be able to bring The Little Man. He'll love it. Let's hope that the biker boys are still around as I'm sure Peter will enjoy the doughnuts. It is appropriate to his mental age after all. []
