What a turn out tonight!!!

Just got back, unfortunately I had to leave early but it was great to see the turn out. It was my first time at Ace, and I gotta say I'm gutted I haven't made it down before.

Didn't get round to chattin to many other zoners, but Kos, good seein you again, I'll let you know bout gettin my wheels done soon, Jonb, good to meet you mate, thanks for the wheels, with any luck and a bit of cash the next time you see em they'll be lookin just a little more PIMP. Jai, glad you made the trip down tell Neil it was good seein him to. I'll se you both in Cov soon.

Hopefully I'll make it down to the next meet and chat to some more zoners. But it was certainly an impressive meet.

Lookin forward to seein any photos peeps may have took. Aside from the BMs that white '90 Porsche Turbo was sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

I really want to go one time, but hate driving in London last time I did I ended up in court for running someone down, long story I only ran over their foot and it was their fault.

Might get a train their one time or risk another court case :mad:

twas a fantastic night peeps
cant wail until the summer that place is gonna be heaving.

so many nice motors there and dirty ones (Ant)
but most were well looked after.

cock action was fantastic
Karan stole the show again and jonb came a close second
with his 2 piles of smoking rubber left
on the floor as he tore on up the road.

such a fantastic night
roll on the next.

P.s. did anybody spot the really nice and clean
silver cab near the front windows.

man that one was nice

It amazed me last night when i saw at one stage about 10+ people walking around with parts of E30's from a bit of buying and trading.

I saw head lights, heater matrix's, interiors, wheels, spoilers, stickers - the list could be endless, there must of been a whole car in parts at the meet being pasted around??

Really friendly atmosphere + that's what it's all about, pleasure to meet you all.

Can't wait until summer, as Malc said - it's gonna be heaving there.

It was a good night, shame I had to leave just after 9pm, seems I missed out on a bit of action, was good to meet some of you and see so many E30's though.
I was part of the buying and selling crew, just a shame no one bought my car, I really need the money :(

Was a very good meet!

Been to the Ace Cafe before with hot rods, and they are good turn outs!

And i have to say the same with E30s, never seen so many in one place!
Nice to meet everyone, and put names to faces!

Like neil said!
It was like a swap meet!! Saw parts going left right and centre!

Was a cracking nite!
Looking forward to the next one!!

Very good turn out.

Nice to see everyone again.

Had a ride in Imran's Z3Mcoupe - fantastic machines with brilliant engines. They feel like E30's but with much much better handling and excellent power. Very impressed! Cheers dude!

you savaners got it made, there's nowt like that up north and we have to make do with ferrybridge service station and the like. Still the people make it more than the place I guess.

when i'm living in Norfolk later in the year it will not be so far though, so may manage an appearance one day. I'll be the one who does some cock action and crashes into a police vehicle :mad: :P

yes cock action doesn't happen until late when it quiets down and the road is clear of parked cars etc.

Keeps things safer

Was the most people i've seen there before, and i've come every month since we started going!

So many hero's not enough time to talk!

Next month and the summer i'm going to win star of the show in the SE :? Keeping me cool in the summer heat with my working air-con!

I was wondering why you'd buggered off early, you missed all the cock action!

It was very cold though, despite my 3 layers of clothes and very extensive layer of fat I still froze 8O

Was glad I stayed until the end though, great performances from Karan and Jon B winkeye

It was good to meet the people I spoke to, especially Richard/Gouki and Nidul (Nidul I owe you a burger next time mate :wink:)

Everyone going again next month then? winkeye
