I'm in, last year was "ACE" :D
had breakfast there yesterday and saw the flyer for them, used to go on the ford night quite regular all the way fron notts on a school night, used to be mental old mk2s drifting round the roundabout till midnight!!!!
I cannot make this one but I will be at the next one though next year and who's engine bay is that in the first pic ,don't look bad even though it is a 8v .
If I make this one it'll be three years in a row. I'm not sure if I'll make it in a Volvo, so I'll be parked on the road, but it is a great venue for a softies vs Essex meet.....?? Pick your side and see who can get the most cars??
If im not working then im there.
Looks good, will try and make it.
I am a yes for this :)
i'm in for the essex boys
This looks good, will certainly be going. Will have to book the day off work :D.
I cold be up for this one :-) ill see if Sophie wants to come too.
Just need to sort a shift swap out.....hope to be there.
Bump.....still not got a shift swap though :frown:
Im in for essex boys
Guess what.....no shift swap, BUT I have managed to baggsie a later start :B_thumb: Not sure where I'm gonna park though, we are nearer Essex, but Annemarie recons I'm a 'Softie' not sure exactly what she means there :confused:
Is anybody from Norfolk attending and willing to take some wheels home with them? :D

[QUOTE=t5steve;549669]sorry guys will have to give it a miss this year...................maybe next time[/QUOTE] Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Hope everything's ok mate :)
We should be able to get more than [COLOR="#FF0000"]3[/COLOR] cars there ! Was hoping numbers would go up lol
Unfortunately we now won't be attending this, as the weather's going to be atrocious.
D'oh! Not another one :(
Planning to be there too.
[QUOTE=charlesboya;549686]Planning to be there too.[/QUOTE] Will be good to meet you.
Phew! the dwindling numbers are starting to look up :D
[QUOTE=stribo;549682]Unfortunately we now won't be attending this, as the weather's going to be atrocious.[/QUOTE] Er.....it's gonna drizzle, your not that sweet....you won't melt !
Is Kingsford still.....'Aiming for Ace Cafe' ?
Will pop along if I get away from Bedford at a decent time. M-R-P that will mean I can collect some wheels and get them to North Cambs if that will help.
[QUOTE=V70 Graham;549703]Er.....it's gonna drizzle, your not that sweet....you won't melt ![/QUOTE] The forecast I saw said heavy rain, and high winds, we'll see what it's like in the morning.
Shame... I'm in Wales(was playing in the floods last night) so I'm not going to make my usual Ace Breakfast...
[QUOTE=stribo;549731]The forecast I saw said heavy rain, and high winds, we'll see what it's like in the morning.[/QUOTE] A bit of rain and a slight breeze sorts the men from the boys. I`ll be there to show off my wheels :smile:

Sorry to pee on your parade, but it looks like the weather's going to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/nw10
Looking forward to meeting you too Graham, and the others naturally.
Rain is good for you, it'll make you grow. It also stops the Shiny Car Brigade (Which I am a fully paid up member of .. ) from QD'ing their cars as soon as they get there, and then every hour after that ... !
I was gonna just give mine a quick rub down with a brillo pad ;)
[QUOTE=stribo;549731]The forecast I saw said heavy rain, and high winds, we'll see what it's like in the morning.[/QUOTE] Is that the weather.....or Charlie's nappy ?
Looking forward to getting a good look at your 'R' Villan
[QUOTE=M-R-P;549672]Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Hope everything's ok mate :)[/QUOTE] car has 2 knackered lower arms and to top it off have had 2 punctures in 2 days.................and apart from that i'm totally skint have fun boys and i'll be watching out for pictures tomorrow night

[QUOTE=V70 Graham;549906]Is that the weather.....or Charlie's nappy ?[/QUOTE] Weather :P
[QUOTE=Kingsford G;549925]Was it not 15th of december?[/QUOTE] That's the essex meet K.G. ;)
Wow, looks amazing.
[QUOTE=M-R-P;549933]That's the essex meet K.G. ;)[/QUOTE] I was under impression its softies-essex on the 15th at Ace cafe,there is something wrong in my head then.
Here`s some photo`s of the meet, good turn out shame about the weather.
Usual peeps arrived early
And the old girl looking good :smile:
Good meet today, if a little damp. We outnumbered the Saabs 15-3 lol. Lots of fairweather drivers bailed out from the looks of it.
Nice to meet Charlesboya Nice BTCC style car that.
Black Dog's P3 is rather lovely too and there was some interesting fella with a 740 low-rider with hydro-suspension we found quite entertaining :D
Me and Oblark took the long way back for a tunnel run on the A3...
There's a loat of road noise but you can hear Oblak's car well on the 2nd pass

Great fun!
Can you remember what speed you where doing behind me when we went past J7 (hedgeend) onthe M27 ??
Not as much as I did to catch u up after a BMW cut between us and slowed to 55!
shame i couldn't make it ..............looked like you all had fun..................next time
Looked like a good day(again).... This is what I was doing:
Unfortunately I wasn't driving, it was a Lotus Trackday, but my mate is a marshal so was able to hide in the post shelter once the rain started.
[QUOTE=Kingsford G;549941]I was under impression its softies-essex on the 15th at Ace cafe,there is something wrong in my head then.[/QUOTE] More like there is nothing in your heade mate....lol Try and get to this one next week, would be good to see you before Crimbo http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?47487-The-little-London-meet
Just in from a (very) late shift, couldn't start till 1630 due to the meet, bloomin Saturday night on the Buses, fighting, drinking, drugs, urinating on the Bus.....and that lot was just me :wink:
Had a great time at the 'Ace Cafe' got there nice and early so Annemarie could treat me to a brekkie, numbers were a bit down due to the weather, finally caught up with Villan and met charlesboya who had a lovely 850.....now the pics.
We was first !
Must say Rob's car is looking the best I've seen it, those wheels look really good, and are the cleanest thing on the car :P
The guy with the low-rider had a cool umbrella too.
the Lo-Vo beens around for years now, & still looks exactly the same as it always did lol
Looking at the photos it's more like a volvo V meet ,look a good day out.
Lovely to meet you all lads, really enjoyed the day and many thanks to Rob, Martin and Graham for the tech advice.
Great pics, shame the weather was so bad.

Don't be so hard on yourself mate... Your knowledge of garages that fix broken Volvos is second to none ;)
