Don't know if this has been posted before but [b]The Ace Cafe[/b] off the North Circ(A406?) Has a "Performance Japanese Meet" Every 1st Tuesday of the month. Poped in last week on my bike when a VW meet was on and it was packed!!

I'll be there tomorrow in my White Altezza (With LOC badges!!) Say hello if you are there.

Richard

Sounds interesting - think I'll go (only live 20mins away). What time does it start / finish?

As my reaction time is clearly better and I know how to turn the TRC off for standing starts I'll be there at about 8.30ish...

Be nice to check your ride Darkyboy

Mini meet ahoy!!!

Whoo Hoo!


only reservation is the Japanaese [b]Performance[/b] Car bit - I like my standard IS, its very nice.

but its an [b][i]awful long stretch[/i][/b] to describe it as a performance car - how snobby about stuff like that do you reckon theyll be?

wouldn't expect them to be snobby at all - most jap owners seem reasonable

As long as they don't let in German car owners

Been thinking about this - didn't I see a documentary about the Ace Cafe ages ago?


Used to be hugely popular waaaay back when - mods and rockers used to hang out there sort of thing.


went derelict for years - then an ex-copper picked it up and made it a bit of a retro joint?



This right?

[url="http://www.ace-cafe-london.com/f1_1.htm"]I was right - History of the Ace Cafe[/url]


really looking forward to this - I remember this documentary quite well, and this is a pretty historical sort of place!


any other London LOC'cers up for this?

bttt

let the daytime folks see this too.

okay

I reckon this was a pretty ing cool evening - so have added it to the calendar for the next two months - here and on TOC.

I can't promise to be there - was a fortunate coincidence last night (check my location!) - but any one who fancies going to see a veritable shed load of modified jap cars should check it out.


This could make a very nice, once a month, meet for you London guys!
