It's time again for the FB5K monthly meet at the Ace Cafe in London. I'll be in attendance - but will be arriving later than 6pm. Anybody else up for this?

Just jetted back from a jolly jaunt in L.A, only to find some cad has broken into my old M3, the only thing i dont understand is why they picked my cheapest car, when the rest of my fleet was parked on the grounds? Maybe my two rotties (apolo & sputnik) scared them off as they only got away with my alfred dunhill hand made string back driving gauntlets!
Wont be able to attend your meeting M3J, have a prior engagment to attend to.
Chocks away!!

Sorry to hear about your car sir. It must be the season for it (have a look at my reply to a topic on the PH home page), hope the damage isn't too bad and it get's sorted soon. The meeting on the other hand isn't mine so-to-speak but, is organised by the FB5K. These have turned into quite a good little shin-dig and we get a good crowd up there now.

M3John,

I plan to come along. Do I need any pass to get into the car park as I understand it's reserved for FB5K members?

No pass needed. Just tell the guys at the enterance that you are there for the Furball night.

Someone might have a spare FB5K sticker for you.

They're chrome too, so more like 12bhp. I have 5 on mine and it shaved nearly two seconds off my laptimes at Brands. True.

Yes, but gotta make sure you fit them the right way round or they'll actually slow you down...

Guys, what does FB5k really stand for?

So is this meet usually old or new cars? Performance cars?
