Re: Ace Cafe Meet - December
Just got back from the Ace!:burnrubber:
Great turn out! well done to the lads that got stuck in traffic on there way there!:agree:
Merry Christmas:ho: and I Hope to see all you guys in the new year! :)

Re: Ace Cafe Meet - December
Just got in. The traffic wasn't too bad either way from here, just a broken lorry going home. Only 2 of the local 5's made it but we still had fun.
It was cool to have a good natter, and a burger and hot chocolates :ho:
But what was with the gritter trucks backing up to spray all the cars :dearme:

Re: Ace Cafe Meet - December
just got in too, 4 1/2 hours to get down there but only 2 to get back, M11 was an absolute arse on the way down there had to follow the rumblestrip for hard shoulder at 25mph but made it there and back safe and was good to meet some new faces :agree:

I should of left when you lot did, I sat on the M1 for megger hours, first the lorry then some mad man ! :mad:
Good night had by all though, well worth the cold feet and being pulled over by the old bill for the first time in about 10 years to just to ask me if the car was mine ! :confused:

Re: Ace Cafe Meet - December
I'm gutted i missed this, we sat in massive traffic trying to get on the M1 at Junction 12.....We were not moving and neither was the M1, We had a slight moment where we mounted a kerb and smashed my brothers mint bumber and dented a wheel.:disagree:(decided to call it quits..)
Cant wait for this white **** to go away, give us dry roads back.:agree:
I'll make it to the ace soon.
Getting the fibreglass out along with the ally welder..... :sad2:
