Have been going to the Ace Cafe meet for the past few months, its a really good vibe, but there are not enough sx's there so have to park around the corner somewhere! come on guys try to make it next time, good place to attract people to the Reading meet(Michael). Its held on the first Tuesday of every month.

The RS lot where up there the other night and around 12 of them got their cars clamped and was £120 to remove them :eek: Parking is supposed to be a mare

Fame

:mad: what a shame.

I have been going and have had no problems, the first tuesday is dedicated to everything Japanese so everythings o.k , parking is a bit crap but always managed to squeeze it in somewhere. Last month they had the midnght club R33, well sweet, have you ever tryed going on the Tuesday?:)

How long do you think it will take you to get down there? it's just off of the Hanger Lane roundabout?

Usually kicks off around seven.

COME ON PEOPLE!!

Are people planning to meet sumwhere before going to the Ace or is it just meet there??

I think if we meet there it would be better and easier, Around seven sounds good. :thumbs:

26-10-2003, 20:38
so meeting there at 7pm yeah? yeah i'll try to get there so we can try to take over the car park :D

Fame
26-10-2003, 21:21
Yes mate will meet there at seven, are you o.k for directions? if not am gonna go past heathrow along the M4 anyway so can meet up somewhere along the way. :thumbs:

Matty2Fatty
26-10-2003, 21:55
i'm pretty sure i know where it is I see it when i goto Ikea, but i'm not too sure how to get to it

where would be easy for me to meet you?

Fame
26-10-2003, 23:19
Hmmm let me think.... hows about if you get onto the M4 and then get off at junction 3 bear left towards the A312 and pull over on the laybay, I will meet you there at about 18:45 or can meet you in the Toby carvery car park which is just off juction 5 (Langley and Colnbrook) on the A4. Or if you know of an ideal place let me know.

27-10-2003, 08:16
Well I actually live in Hayes, but Heathrow is more know to people I think, I can meet you on the A312 as its about less than a mile from my house.

Where abouts should i stop for you to meet me?

I can meet at the Toby carvery as I do know where that is too, but if its easier to meet on the A312 we could meet there, I'm guessing your following it down to the A40?

Matt

Fame
27-10-2003, 10:06
Yes mate I am going to Jump on the A40 from the Target roundabout, so there is no point you driving back down into Langley, if we meet on the Laybay as soon as you come off the M4 on the left, or the Toys r us car park.:thumbs:

Matty2Fatty
27-10-2003, 12:15
toys r us by western internation market would be best as i live about 5 minutes from there, shall we say meet in the Toys r us car park at 18.45?

Fame
27-10-2003, 12:19
Sweet, see you there.:thumbs:

ATrull
27-10-2003, 23:34
Sounds good.

I live just up the A40 in Little Chalfont. :)

I was also thinking this would make a good general greater london meeting spot since while not exactly central, it's a very suitable venue.

Fame
28-10-2003, 09:38
Your right there, I was reading the other thread about the need for a London meet, I dont see the point personally of holding another meet in the area because of the Ace Cafe, purely because this is a pre selected location and it is really hard finding a suitable place in and around central, so it takes the headache out of things, you can just turn up and chill.

Looking forward to seeing you there pal. :thumbs:

alexjj
29-10-2003, 13:53
But if most folks want or prefer to hook up at 'ace' cafe then who am I etc..

Basically would be cool to turn up and meet loads of you in one go. Except I have a horror of getting clamped and tickets and stuff..

And I have heard some horror stories about there too!

If anyone is up for it, maybe some of us from Central Central London could hook up at the Texaco garage on the Chiswick roundabout beforehand?

...

I still think a central central London meet would be cool - and definitely in Summer at Hyde Park!

ATrull
29-10-2003, 14:35
Absolutely nothing wrong with a variety, it's just that hyde park is a bit passed it's best this time of year.

Next summer it's a definate though :)

The girls will have so much choice of cars to be picked up in. Better get polishing!

Fame
29-10-2003, 15:40
I still think a central central London meet would be cool - and definitely in Summer at Hyde Park!

I am not against that idea mate in fact its a good idea, but only if everything is planned properly and the weather is right, there is over eight months to plan, so in the mean time Would love to see everybody at the Ace Cafe, I have been going for about four months now and never had a problem with parking, or the clamping and ticket dudes.

If you cant make it to the Ace Cafe, the Reading meet is a must :D

Try to make it mate the more the merrier :thumbs:

Since I have been going have only ever seen no more than about four, each visit, out of about 200+ish cars that turn up. But sometimes I do go at silly times. :no:

cheers Lex

ATrull
03-11-2003, 09:49
I most likely sha'n't make it.

My rear right-hand tire (an avon zz1) blew out yesterday on the way to sunday lunch of all things.

I'm now pricing some goodyear f1s from tyresonline.net but I certainly won't have them fitted by tommorow night. I don't want to take the spare anywhere near a motorway, let alone a car meet. );

It's a shame as I was really keen to come, but nevermind.. always a next time :)

Some take a camera and use it!

Fame
03-11-2003, 10:21
Sorry to hear that mate, will be taking the girlfriend and she must have a camera, on her, so will get some pics sorted for you. If there is still a chance for you to make it, try cus it is'nt going to rain. :(

If not you will see me kicking around at the Reading meet, :)

oh, alright. I'll be off boost all the way and going at 45mph on the 70mph a40.

I'll bring the burst tire along too.. it's quite a marvel.

Fame
03-11-2003, 11:43
Good man! will be there for seven, am escorting Matty2Fatty with his single steelie so probably c u on the A40, you wont be hard to miss. :thumbs:

ATrull
03-11-2003, 11:48
mind escorting me, too ? :)

I'd appreciate it =) the invalid convoy!

I'd be coming from little chalfont.

Fame
03-11-2003, 11:52
Thats not a problem mate, do you think I should put my space-saver on, for the occasion?

Where is Little Chalfont?

I've no idea what a space-saver is !

Little chalfont is http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?grid2map?X=499506&Y=197686&arrow=Y&zoom=5

a few miles north of the m40. I proppose I meet with you at denham (before the motorway). it's about half a mile off the motorway and I recall there being a garage along that road.

Fame
03-11-2003, 12:27
S14a'a are equipped with a dirty skinny little spare wheel, it is half the depth of the standard wheel, and is called a space-saver. If I had a flat, I would rather slap on a steelie!

Anyway we will be joining the A40 from the A312, let us know where we should meet you and we will come to you.

Matty2Fatty
03-11-2003, 12:31

That and S14a is 5 stud & a S13 is 4 stud. (Isn't it?)

Fame
03-11-2003, 12:35
yep, the s14a's are 5 stud.

ATrull
03-11-2003, 12:48
I'll risk the a40 alone to the junction where it meets the A312

It'd be taking the piss to expect you to meet me back down the a40 ! :)

Any suggestion about where to meet there ? leisure centers usualy have suitable car parks but you may know of a garage in the area.

'eres a map of the area around the junction:

Matty2Fatty
03-11-2003, 12:56
Theres a golden arches on that junction, you'll have to come off go all the way round the roundabout & into the car park, i guess we could meet there i guess

Fame
03-11-2003, 13:01
Golden arches?? you meen a mcdonalds? that would be a good spot to meet. Do you know the one we meen mate?

ATrull
03-11-2003, 15:07
Good news!

I called up my local fitment centre about eagle f1 gsd3's in the hopes I could have some fitted by the weekend.

Win! :thumbs: :D :D :D

They have two in the shelf. right now. I'll bend space, time and my boss's arm to come along in a full set of decent wheels (well, apart from the zz1s on the front rims..) tommorow. :) :thumbs:

Fame
03-11-2003, 15:14
That is good news, did you get them for a good price? 19:00 good mate?

Matty2Fatty
03-11-2003, 18:06
on second thoughts since neither of you guys really know the McDonalds on that roundabout, the car park system there is a nightmare, there is a B&Q about 200 yards down from that junction heading into london if you wish to meet there? We'll have to go there when we head into london anyway

heres a B&Q locator map if that helps at all

Yep it is a bit, I go past that Maccys on the way 2 Uni everday and once I went into the car park and ended up on the A40 towards Wycombe. I will be meeting you Matty at Toy,R,us as planned. We just need to get Alex's situation sorted.:thumbs:

Matty2Fatty
03-11-2003, 18:51

Right, so where's easiest to meet ? I see people mentioning both B&Q and Toys 'R' Us :D

Fame
03-11-2003, 19:33
Nice job mate, Mattys gonna get a two car escort with his single steelie, think we might need to set up a road block.

You can either drive down to Toys'R'us where Matty will be or you can go and wait at the B&Q, think Mattys supplied a map. I think that the Toy 'R' Us will be a bit out of your way though it's the one near the M4 junction on the A312 But it is easy to find.

Matty2Fatty
03-11-2003, 19:40
Nuts, (looks under his bed for a spare set of alloys, theres gotta be a set round here somewhere)

Fame
03-11-2003, 21:51
There is a change of plan, it's looking as if I will be meeting you at 19:30 Matty, so we will meet up with Alex 15mins later, sorry about that. meet kicks at 19:00 anway so we will be fashionably late. (Gotta drop my girlfriend off at home, cus I know she is gonna be nagging me whilst I am there,then I am gonna pick my mates up) Soz guys.;)

Matty2Fatty
03-11-2003, 21:56

I went and parked at northolt tube this morning. egad! I know now why I do not commute into london by car! And I didn't even try and get *into* london. just to the outskirts(!)

I'd only ever commute if I had a company car or something. Maybe in the back of a bentley. *dreams* :sleep: big leather seats.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing you tonight :)

Home so soon ! :(

Really good meeting, come to think of it... Better than Box Hill i.m.o. Plenty of pretty cars but it felt like less of a ****athon as there wasn't an almera doing flames for a solid 60 minutes. Just a 300ZX doing them for five - much more impressive :)

I'd have liked to have spoken to some of the japanese drivers there. There were hordes of them. :D They must love the 50s feel of the cafe.

My only worry was that some twit loses control down that strip and bounces around between the parked cars !

Regardless of the weather it was alot of fun and a pleasure meeting you all!

Was brilliant having our 200sxes all lined up :) :D I can't wait to see the piccies.

Last note..

Can anyone recommend an up and coming drift day ? I'm dead keen on coming and learning. :)

perhaps some kind soul will offer to guide you there :) - but it shouldn't be too hard to find yourself if you have a good inkling to where you need to get to.

maccy ds again ? it was easy to find, once I went through the no entry road ;)

it's good to arrive in convoy - we had five 200sxs lined up last time ;)

If you like, but what direction are you heading? i'm guessing into london, so we could meet at the B&Q just past the junction where we met last time. As you just turn off the A40 straight into the car park & back on again, no faffing about with stupid roundabouts & being separated

heres a map
http://www.diy.com/bq/images/maps/greenfor.gif
the junction on the left hand side of the picture is where we met last month, so you just go past the junction where macdonalds is and turn off just after the speed camera, before the footbridge, you should see the B&Q its quite big

ATrull
27-11-2003, 15:05
sounds like a better plan. that maccy ds was rather hard to find. ;)

28-11-2003, 12:53
What was the timing like last time did you meet at about 7 or something did that work out well or not??

Matty2Fatty
28-11-2003, 12:58
wasn't too much traffic, we were rolling all the way, didn't have to stop, only when we came upto Hanger Lane, but you always expect it to be bad there

RADS_S13
28-11-2003, 13:33
shall we saymeet at the B&Q at 7 then as long as Atrull can get there at that time aswell.

Matty2Fatty
28-11-2003, 13:44
sounds good to me

ATrull
28-11-2003, 14:24
I will try and be there by then.

leave work(actualy, there's a drinks and snacks thing planned for that afternoon at work) at 5:30 :D

train to northolt park @ 18:03, 18:17 & 19:01 each takes 13 minutes to reach northholt park, which is 15 minutes drive from the b&q ;)

lucky - 18:03, likely = 18:17 and unlucky = 19:01

super lucky is that a colleague who wants to come along drives me to my car in her mkiv supra. :D

in my experience the traffic *into* london during rushhour is absolutely fine.

Hey there,

I am new to this thread and ball game but I'm getting the hang of it now.

I have been going to Ace Cafe now for about 6 months and is really good, if you like oogling Jap cars. I go in my S13, somtimes my mate takes his Prelude although lately he just tags along wid me coz he nows whats best.

Anyway enough drivle, I will be there as usual. I am in Herts so it doesn't take long to get there, It will be nice to see some more SX's coz it's usually me and one other (S13) and a few S14's. SO WE NEED MORE!.:thumbs:

nice to meet you both, drift and eyebot, franco and adam respectively. not to mention mintsauce :D

and good to see you again, lasitha - and fud, you should have stuck around a bit longer, I saw you run off within about half an hour :rolleyes:

and massive kudos to the 350z club for pulling off such an organised stunt. I was blown away! 7(seven! COUNT IT!) 350zs all pitched up and lined up for a photo shoot at the end. looked absolutely stunning :) Hope to see you come again and again.

eyebot took some pictures with his camera which probabley cost more than his car :wave: I can't wait to see the results :D :nod: - They should be good, he's a photographer by trade :)

all in all, a great night!

dunno anyone from farnham coming :(

it's quite easy if you want me to give directions :)

We often meet at a MCDs/B&Q further out on the A40 before heading to the ace.

might as well start organising convoys now rather than later. :D Matty ? Fame ? :)

I propose a 7:15 pm meeting at the the MCDs :)

pretty sure i can get to the a40 mcd's cause i dont have any idea where ace cafe is i'd need to follow or get some directions before going out and getting lost. :wack:

ATrull
27-12-2003, 16:55
when we say mcds we are actualy reffering to the car park behind it (between mcds and a texaco garage).

to get to it from the m25, go along the a40 eastbound and come off on the northholt/a312 turnoff.

go right around the roundabout above the a40 and take the last exit (back onto the a40 westbound!) ! then quickly take the first left before going all the way down the onslip (i.e., as soon as you leave the roundabout) and you'll be in the texaco garage. car park infront of you, garage to the right and mcds to your left.

then use your eyes to hunt the *****.
