Ace Cafe London - Spring Meet Italian Night - 13 March 2014

[Chrisbassett]

Ah, the ribs were overdone but that's not always a bad thing with ribs! They always go down nicely.

Let's just say that I enjoyed the company far more than my limp, desiccated excuse for a burger. Great to meet you too.

I ordered the buger it turned up before I turned around and reached the table it was rubbish and not cheep

 

[Contigo]

Yep proper dirt burger

 

[Dhanj]

I'm shocking with names so have to describe by the car. Last night we chatted to the owner of the silver GS on the far end by the door into the building. The car is absolutely immaculate - mint! Not so much as even a small stone chip on the front. Its only done about 18k miles and looks it.

That's because Urby doesn't drive it more than 20mph!

Great meet. Good meeting all the faces old and new!

 

[Contigo]

Yes he told us about the magic 40mph fly factor can't remember the term he used but there was an acronym.

 

[SimonCC]

Maybe the food is fit for bikers but not for the discerning palate of Maserati drivers.... ;-)

Controversial, but Clarkson would agree....

 

[dem maser]

You dont go there to eat....have a pint and look at cars.....

 

[RSM Masser]

Food is shockingly bad at Ace! Expensive too
It's so bad I am amazed anybody eats there at all!

 

[SimonCC]

We were hungry and the cakes on the counter weren't up to the job ;-)

 

[BJL]

Next time I go I'll put the toilet paper in the fridge for when I get home.

Great meeting you.....

 

[BJL]

You too. Makes owning an icon even better when you know you're not the only nutcase on the block

 

[SimonCC]

Good to meet you last night Barrie - the California is lovely - I didn't even get to sit in it, hopefully next time.

 

[Contigo]

I'm hoping next time we can get a nice PAX ride in it , I sat in it and revved it which was a joy in itself.

 

[SimonCC]

Like the sound of that Phil! I'm not sure I can make the Bristol meet but hopefully catch up in the not too distant future.

Barrie's California looks superb in grey with the black wheels and yellow calipers!

 

[Contigo]

For sure Simon. Going to try to make the London mini meet work pending at the end of the month. After that it is Bristol and then Brooklands meet.

 

[Gixerboy]

Good to pop in & say Hello & see the usual suspects.

Good to see Barry & his Calafornia! ( thx again for the QP Tyres).

Btw nice to see half a dozen QPs.. still holding there own against the new Ghibli in the style dept!

Cheers Dave

 

[BJL]

More than holding their own I'd say.
The Ghibli is a massed produced car with a body pressed by contract suppliers fitted with a diesel that started life in a lesser marque all put together well away from Modena as an exercise in matching Audi/BMW and I congratulate them on one thing.......they certainly match Audi from the back

 

[Contigo]

Indeed it is almost a clone of an Audi or generic Eurobox from the rear.
