Not really, about 20 odd cars and we were pushed into the far corner to make way for the bikes...

Didnt help that there wasnt enough cars to complain about the space though...

We were already coned off into the far corner as i arrived at 7pm...

and we were kicked out before 11pm, but the bikes were still coming in.
The guy came round and said he was shutting the gates and if we didn't go we would be locked in
Don't know what that was all about???

Oh dear, sound pretty crap then, was contemplating going along in the Cerb, glad I didn't bother as its usually a horrendous drive up there on a Friday evening in the rush hour on the sodding North Circular, why cant them make it any other night than Friday so the traffic might be a little better, probably puts quite a few peole off going there!

It was the only available slot the Ace had to offer us.

Perhaps it is time to try elsewhere? ...although the Ace still remains a popular choice.

why? Because one person complains? Considering there has been over 40 TVR's there at times...

The only reason I have not been this year is a) my TVR was in bits and b) Friday nights I often am out etc

I will be there next month unless my car has sold!

i Like the Ace Cafe - its a great Venue, Friday nights are tough for any club - may be worth trying another night though Adam, may be worth having a word with the Owner though - we used to OWN that car park....

Hold on, I'm not saying anyone should change the venu, the Ace is a great place, steeped with history and a great atmosphere was just commenting that Friday evening is usually the worst rush hour of the week but if that's the only slot you guys could get then fair enough!

No doubting the Ace IS a great venue and if poss we dont want to change it. But it's not nice when we travel a long way, (over an hour for me) and then have to park in the street, round the corner and out of site. Might as well not even take the Cerb .

That is another very good point, if you go there in a TVR you would at least expect to get in the car park on a TVR themed night, how come at least a third, if not more of the car park gets taken up with bikes whatever the nights theme is?

Mark, ironically half an hour is not bad considering it can take me an hour to get there and I live probably less than 10 miles from the Ace and I guess you probably travel a good deal further.

I said over an hour, all the way round the A406, what a pain.
