Going to try and make it but already running late so might have to bail. Depends on trains and traffic now.

Not coming, as the two wheeled transport went walkies this afternoon, and really cannot be bothered going from W1 to Greenwich to fetch the Elan only to drive all the way there and back again
Ho hum, quite fancied an Ace butty and a nice cuppa tea...

I got a little worried yesterday afternoon when the weather was so gloomy, but what a great turnout. Really pleased with how the Ace nights have turned out (well done John & Lorraine!)

Many thanks to BossCerbera for the superb video content this month. I'll look forward to seeing most of you again on the 30th for the track evening at Brands

It was great to get there at last.

I had forgotten how long it had been since we had been to any meets like that. It was great to catch up with people we hadn't seen for a while.

Thanks to Marcellus and Harsh for keeping me amused with plans for the Paris run

Harsh - I'm sure you were right and your friends comment about me not looking like the 'stereotypical' fast car driver was actually a compliment.
I realised that after I had finished hyperventilating hehe

John - 'Her Maj' was beautiful ( took me back a bit)

The funniest part of the night for me though was when we discussed Irish's change of car ( and possibly profession) from Porsche to hairdresser - sorry, MX5.
We than came up with a new PH name for him...................................................... Wash and Go rofl

Edited to say - Sorry Irish but it was hilarious

T'was a great night, thank you to all involved! clap Good company and really enjoyed the 'footage' Boss .

I singularly failed to obtain a sticker from Gruffy though, I just talk too much . Hopefully I will still get in next month and can negotiate one then!

Here's to some sunshine and dry roads, enough rain now rolleyes

Thank you mate for that and Lorraine, it was good to see Bal and your self out after such a time away from things. Really liking the new car !

As usual it was good to catch up with people and as usual there wasn't enough time throughout the evening to catch up with everybody. Thanks everyone for turning up. Now that the weather is getting nicer hopefully we'll get a few more Ph'ers down there.

Didn't take many but here are the pictures i did take.

Enjoy...

On route to The Ace a gorgeous Z8 crused passed, each of us giving the other a knowing nod. (sory that they're a little blurry)
