Many thanks to Dave Eds on my first visit to the Ace Cafe.
Good to meet DaveA, sorry I didn't get there earlier and couldn't hang about for long.
A quick wave to Noble table was had...
Note to self get new Sat Nav...

Sorry I couldn't make it to this; the alarm guy wasn't done till 7.30 (Gap Security - not recommended; I have some issues with them which I'll discuss in another post).
I will come next time though!

Most people don't get there until 8. The 3 daves were dressed in LEC uniform and made a big banner so you would recognise them. Quite embarrasing really, which is why I sat on a distant table, it didn't stop them coming over when they spotted me though! Apart from Specker who went home early in a huff because you stood him up.

Maybe see you next month

Didn't come over to see you pal, more interested in your co-pilot!
Guessed you would be embarrassed though!
Good to see Specks and daveA as well, but "snubbed" by the noble Mr B
I'll post some pics later so that Keith knows what to look for next time.

My co pilot is never getting in an Elise again, she wasn't impressed with the car at all, didn't really understand it! Lol! I'll have to see if she likes the Elan or Esprit. She likes the Freelander though.

Nice photos Specky. My 2 landlords cars, Wills Silver Noble and James' Purple TVR!
Going to Fire up the Esprit this week and see if it will run all right.

Hope fully Bob will help me out with the BMC spacers and it will be back on the road for the 19th!

What a shame I missed this - I could have doubled the number of Elans.
I had intended to come but have had to rush down to Cornwall due to a family emergency. I shall put next month's into my diary and give the car a wash and wax in good time...

Is anyone going on Wednesday 16th September? I'm working nights and drive right past the Ace on my way to work, so could stop by if anyone's there?
