Hi peep-holes,
I've just been snooping about on the Ace Cafe events list and found two dates of interest.
23rd. October - Volvo 85th anniversary. This could be a nice one but I feel it may be more suited to the puritans rather than noisy Volvos ;)
24th. November - Nors Day, 11am onwards. Those who attended last year will remember it being a very good day with some fine examples of both Swedish marques. Nowhere near as big as the Haynes Swedish day but a completely different atmosphere (and we outnumbered the Saabs for a change lol) and a good opportunity to meet old and new faces.
I'll start threads closer to the time but for now, I thought it would be good to test the water for these two events.
So, what do we think?
Martin.

23rd Oct is a Tuesday.....not sure about this one, but 24th Nov looks like a shift swap for me so I'll be there.

I'll be up for the 24th November meet :)
As for the 23rd Oct... Unfortunately I generally struggle to get across to the Ace on a week night, unless we are quiet and I can finish early.

Yeah, meets on a school nite lol. Being an anniversary, it might be best left to the more "original" cars ;)
