Anyone Going to Ace Cafe Wednesday?
Discussion
I'll be going there Wednesday evening with a couple of friends if the weather is good and dry. At the moment the forecast is good. There are always awesome cars, good food, crowd of people, owners and visitors. It's a perfect place to meet and of course fly the flag for the Wedge. It's the British sports car evening, and I've enjoyed it every time I've been.

Once again I was the only one with a Wedge at the Ace Cafe today, in fact I was the only one with a TVR. There were a lot of other people and cars though. Mainly Lotus' and there was even an Aston Martin and a McLaren. Nice weather and good food. A few tried to convert me to Lotus but I think I'll hang on to TVR even if I do eventually change for a newer curvy model.

Not been to Ace Cafe before but fancy a trip there on Weds. What's the best time of day to arrive there?
Hi James, it starts at 6pm but most cars start arriving after 7pm. Having said that try to aim for around 7pm to get a better parking place. Everyone with a British sports or performance car is shown a parking place by the attendant as he arranges them nicely and tries to keep models together. It's a historic Cafe and some weeks the local press and photographers turn up for a photo shoot. It's a friendly atmosphere and there can be cars ranging from a kit car to a McLaren and of course it's a Cafe where you can eat and drink too.I've been there many times and enjoyed it every time. Weather is looking promising for Wednesday night so lets hope it stays dry and we can all meet up.
I hope this also answers the questions for those who've sent me a pm asking about the meet.
God willing I hope to see you all there.

Good turnout at the ACE tonight. Good to see you Gavin and Andy and a few others. Four wedges and a Griff in the TVR section plus many other makes of British sportscars. A friend of mine turned up in his Lotus Esprit turbo. A few Jags and even an immaculate e- type plus many other interesting cars. The weather was nice, An altogether, another enjoyable evening.

Come on wedgers and fellow TVR other model type people........lets flood the ACE next time.
70 years of the Badge and all !!
Yes, it would be good to have a long line of TVR's outside the historic ACE Cafe. Especially this being the 70th anniversary etc. Only problem is of course the distance for most owners. It's convenient for me and Gavin but traveling there and back may be a problem for most. Still, God willing, I'm up for another meet there.70 years of the Badge and all !!

What date is it next month?
It's every third Wednesday of each month. Next one would be September 20th. Starts at 6pm but most cars start arriving after 7pm. It's best to arrive around 7pm or before if you want to get a good parking space though there are cars that turn up as late as even 8pm or after.Tony. TCB.
Hopefully, Wednesday September 20th will be the biggest TVR meet ever at the Ace Cafe to celebrate the 70th etc. At the moment the weather is looking promising and hopefully it'll be good, but you can never tell. Still, the more TVR's turn up the better. I'm looking forward to it already. Don't forget there is good food and drinks there too.

Doubt it, think you will find the biggest tvr turn out at the ACE cafe is when we all met there and took a petition to Downing Street to save the factory and you only got in the car park I you agreed to take a worker to Downing Street as I did, it was very emotional 100,s of TVR,s from all over the country turned up and brought London to a standstill Tony.

Will there be TVRCC committee members in attendance
I'm not sure who is attending but everyone is welcome. I'm not the organiser and I don't think anyone is. When I was there last month it was suggested that we try to get as many TVR owners as possible in September, though I appreciate it's probably too far or difficult, and out the way for many.Tony.

Like I said earlier that was an impressive turnout and it was for a good reason. The September meet at the ACE will just be a 70th celebration gathering and more owners that attend the merrier. I hope you'll be able to make it, though if it's far, or inconvenient for you then that's understandable.

The weather forecast is dry for Wednesday. Hopefully they've got it right but I'll keep an eye on it nearer the day. How many are planning to be there at the Ace? I'm going up there with a few friends. After all, it is the 70th anniversary celebration and the year TVR have unveiled their latest model. Let's hope it's a good turnout.

Weather looks good tomorrow so I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the ACE Cafe. Here is a picture of both my BMW and the Wedge together. The Wedge is prepared and ready for tomorrows trip. I love both of my V8 cars but nothing is quite as fun as the TVR. I just wish I could say that about it's reliability too, but I guess it's all a part of the fun.

An excellent turnout tonight. A big thank you for everyone who attended. I counted 25 TVR's in total, six of which were Wedges. It was virtually all TVR in the car park with the exception of a couple of Lotus' and a Ford Capri 3.1. An excellent celebration to mark 70 years of TVR. I spoke with quite a few TVR owners and of course had the pleasure of meeting Gavin and Andy and co.
Overall a fantastic evening which made me realise the days are getting shorter as it was dark when I left.
