ACE Cafe trip (for those with an engine)

Ladies and Gents with the need for more than just self-powered transport.

A few months ago Jung and myself went on a man date where we took my car to the American Car Wash. We held hands whilst some people made my ride look lovely. We decided that when the weather picks up we should head to the ACE Cafe and enjoy other peoples cars (as well as showing ours off of course)and be allowed to talk blocks and timing-belts with other people without them looking at us blankly.

For those who don;t know it the link is here. It was used as the base for 5th Gear for a couple of series a few years ago.

To that end we should organise some trips up to the North circular to meet up and enjoy a beverage and the smell of octane.

I just thought I'd start a thread so that we can keep this in mind for the forthcoming season of spring.

Anyone interested?

ACE Cafe is...er...ace. Used to go their with the Luton Lambretta Club frequently, on....er...Lambrettas. Funny pulling into a car park full of Hells Accountants on Hardly Rideables on a hairdryer!

They stole that logo from Colnago.

I would totally be up for this although im not sure how suited my new car is to the ace cafe environment.......

Keith Jones, aka The Black Knight, of Tower Hamlets Wheelers, has led Ace Cafe rides by pedal cycle for years. I'm told the Ace Cafe regulars are very friendly and there's always good times to be had no matter what kind of two-wheeler you're on.

Been to a couple of the Mini nights, first Thursday of the month. Not for a few years though!

(mine is third from right)

Can i bring my little fiat?

I'd love a mini. Ideally one like this:

The ace of clubs, circles, and a basic font in white out of black have been around for a hell of a lot longer than Colnago, just sayin.

Great Full English at the Ace - definitely up for a spin up there - preferably two wheels - engine or human powered (bit dull in the car).

Not many better ways to start the day than a Special Breakfast (inc black pudding and bubble and squeak for the vegans).

Taking the piss. Just sayin' ;)

I might show my face at this, as it's like 5mins away from me. I don't drive (along with everything else ;)), despite having a VW scirocco mk2 storm.
Maybe.
May just show up for a quick pint with Dad and his mk2 left handed modded golf gti.

Or this one?

Or maybe even this one?

You are only supposed to blow the bloody doors off !

I'd be tempted to come and show off my 'rocco too. They used to have a VAG night (Volkswagen-Audi Group before anyone makes any rude comments!) and presume they still do.

Lil, if you only live 5 mins away you wouldn;t have to drive your 'rocco, just push it! ;-)

Yeah, I love going to the Ace when I'm down in that London. It's usually with the eurobox. I don't drive the historic vehicles into the big bad city.

The most embarasing thing was when me and the Mrs were there and our boy was 3 at the time. Greasy biker with eyepatch and bandana sat down next to us and our boy says in a rather loud voice "LOOK a Pirate!!!"

Last time I went there was to see american rods with CrazyJames back then. Haven't really been there since.

Haha, it's not with me, it's offroad at my dad's work in Brentford, so I ain't pushing it from there love!
Come anyway, I'd love to check it out.

Pigfarmer and Jung sitting in a car wash,......on a man date.

Yeah be up for it.

Oi, XH, how about going on Italian car night.

when is the italian car night?

wanna bring my 500 in there!

Taking the piss. Just sayin' ;)

Just stirrin'. Just sayin' ;)

2nd thursday every month

Screw it. We're never going to get a night where everyone's car is appropriate. I doubt there has ever been, or will be a 4x4 night so I'm screwed.

However there are some nights which are better than others. I'm really keen to go to one of the Jap nights so I can wear this without looking like a plonker.
