Yourfriend and mine Andy Clements has come all the way from sunny Norfolk to take me to the ace cafe. I joke, he was coming anyway, we will be there around 7.30. Felix - I will bring the pump, martyn I have your cable and side covers. Not sure there will be anymore room foranything else in andy's car. See you later folks.

wookiecj Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Just leaving now.... late as usual.... Still, nice to know you can rely on something. In case you were wondering, I'm not going to be late for my own funeral as I plan on letting someone else do the driving!

rogerch Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 While you're all there (with Esprits) why not, to quote one James Bond "Keep the British end up" and take a photo of all the Esprits outside, and post it on Google Earth Life is like a sewer, what you get out of it, depends on what you put into it.

Bazza 907 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Great to see such a good turn out - there must have been more Esprits there than any other model. Fantastic Liked the sound of the TVR Griffith - awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevsked Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Great to see such a good turn out - there must have been more Esprits there than any other model. Fantastic Liked the sound of the TVR Griffith - awesome Bazza, Wash your fingers typing such treason. Think it but don't type it:). All, An excellent turnout from all and thanks to veryone.

It would have been good as it was the best turn out of Esprits I have ever seen at the Ace! Not sure how close we were to a full set but we must had half the models there?

Gold FFM skiing Posted March 18, 2010 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Thanks guys for showing me around - good to meet you and see a few Esprits together in the flesh. Thank you for all the advice. Needless to say I am smitten and will now try to resist buying the first one I lay eyes on which is for sale....

andydclements Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 A great night, to see some people I knew and meet others, not going to list them, Trevor has done that. And I thankfully didn't have the Esprit (although that would have been three G cars of the same colour), if I didn't have the Excel we'd have had issues getting Dave & Peter back home.I'm sure I'll look to do another one of the Ace meets later in the year, when the nights are lighter and I'll book the next day off, I wasn't great after getting home around 2am and getting up for work at 6.

hopo Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 As mentioned above... a great night. I met a few more familiar names. I think a few people know that i actualy do exist now! sorry i didnt get the chance to hang around for too long. There was a fantastic aray of Esprits. a THE 350, a lovely wingless v8, bright S4s with funky wheels, Stunning Se Highwing ( i dont like them in pictures but think it was possibly the most striking car on the night) Nice blue S4, 2 S3 Na's including Bazza's minter!, Lovely s3 Turbo, and of course the lovely S1. All we needed was a GT3 and an S300. bit suprised there where no stevens cars other than the SE considering the turn out. Should be good when the weather gets nice and we have some daylight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsrowsell Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Cheers hopo for the kind words... Yes, there were aray of very nice looking machines there last night and I'm sure when others get their machines back on the road, you will see a GT3 and a Stevens there also...
