Don't worry Gordon, you keep Jerry down there and send the fit bird in the avatar to the Ace.

Al Weyman · 28 Dec 2009, 17:09 (Ref:2605721)

Its on the North Circular Zef so pretty easy to get to without the pesky M25, I can confirm 5 in my party as of Boxing Day. so only another 15 to turn up and we have hit John's 20 target!

Alan Morgan · 29 Dec 2009, 14:55 (Ref:2605990)

I didn't think I was going to make it, due to work, but it looks as if I can after all - looking forward to it!

I'll need to have a chat with Al about some reproduction stickers I need for a car I'm restoring...

Al Weyman · 29 Dec 2009, 17:49 (Ref:2606065)

Pictures and dimensions is what we need.

Mike Bell · 29 Dec 2009, 19:43 (Ref:2606124)

Sorry Iain will miss breakfast as have to go to central London to collect a car first. See you late AM. Reminds me I need to sort out paying congestion charge! (Not for Ace!)

delta · 29 Dec 2009, 20:03 (Ref:2606131)

Thanks, Tim- found out when I tried to pay- an extra present from TFL!

Good morning. Hope you all have a good time and take a few pics too.

Cheers from Doha. ;-)

john ruston · 30 Dec 2009, 07:54 (Ref:2606280)

No snow here.

Still in Disco .

Will do well if we get Twenty!

john ruston · 30 Dec 2009, 08:03 (Ref:2606282)

M11 closed at Storford for most of day so all you lot from East Anglia go via A505/A1 Baldock and down to Staples Corner A406 using M1.It's quickest.

terence · 30 Dec 2009, 08:11 (Ref:2606285)

Lorry full of pig's has crashed apparently,must have been on their way home after the annual ball!

zefarelly · 30 Dec 2009, 09:55 (Ref:2606310)

Pi55ing down in Sunny Sussex . . . . will be seting off in a mo, scenic route!

Al Weyman · 30 Dec 2009, 10:00 (Ref:2606315)

We will be there at around 12, setting out from Harrow at 11:30.

Al, I'm not going to get there now, my daughter's car has a couple of problems to sort before she goes home (hopefully tomorrow) and I have to run an errand for swmbo.
Sorry.

Al Weyman · 30 Dec 2009, 10:57 (Ref:2606344)

SWMBO fortunately I don't have one of those, I do have a SWMBI though (She Who Must Be Ignored).

I will say hello for you.

GORDON STREETER · 30 Dec 2009, 15:35 (Ref:2606427)

Sorry Tim but the "fit bird" in my avatar is my other half and is down here in the sun with me. Now don't you old boys start any aggro up at the ACE by settling any old "mods n rocker" scores

Al Weyman · 30 Dec 2009, 16:19 (Ref:2606441)

Just got home, well we did have the easiest run. Great to put names to faces, your mate turned up Tim and was looking for you an Eric but I made your appologies, nice chap actually. I was disappointed I never managed to say goodbye to Compte as I was stuck in the loo, the old big breakfast went straight through me but me most of the others including, John, Ian and Terry.

Didn't go there for that Gordon,I've forgotten what it was all about anyway! It was fun reading through the news clippings they have stuck on the wall though,especialy the one about a couple of hundred Mods starting on 20 Rockers .Mod's? Huh,nothing but a bunch of Girlie's!

Got back at four,fairly easy run,glad I decided against the M1 though!.
Good to have met up with the usual old face's,no offence Fay.!
It was also great to meet some new ones as well,JR up to his usual w-up antic's though. Lol[Thanks for the Coffee John]
BTW,all those who originally ordered the 10ths Patches,they are worth the money,look very good,so get on the phone to Al and get your's.

Al Weyman · 30 Dec 2009, 17:02 (Ref:2606465)

Thanks for the endorsement Terry and sorry about the tea Peter! One headline on the board was particular poinant to me as it was about the death of a mod found in the sea at the foot of some cliffs, unfortunately that was a very good friend of mine's eldest brother one of four boys and also brother of Bertie who comes racing with me. They never did find out exactly what happened and was filed under misadventure I believe but I think there was some doubt that rockers had thrown him off the cliff although the papers of course had a field day.

terence · 30 Dec 2009, 17:17 (Ref:2606469)

There were a number of theories on that Al,there was allegedly a couple of witness's who claimed to have seen him running from a mob,who did not get anywhere near him.It seems that he had tried to hide by hanging from the cliff-top and lost his grip.People were just not like how they are today!
I think it a very unfortunate accident.

Al Weyman · 30 Dec 2009, 17:26 (Ref:2606474)

Yes I also think thats the way it went. I took a photo of the cutting as it was headline news and Bertie wanted to find something on the Daily Mirror website but couldnt find anything.

Who was that? Didn't you know that I don't have any mates so I am a bit bewildered as to who it could be.
Glad you all had a good time and sorry to have missed it.

Al Weyman · 30 Dec 2009, 17:36 (Ref:2606482)

Actually he was Eric's mate I think. He races a Cossie sometimes in DMN but not this year, I think he also has an Alfa and other cars and also told me he beat Rod once in a little pocket rocket (may have missheard that), grey haired stocky chap with a west country accent embarrassed to say the old hearing is not what it was and didnt quite catch his name..
