Last call for Ace brunch......

With apologies for starting a separate thread- at moment I suspect only 3 confirmed for meeting up at the Cafe tomorrow 28th 1100 onwards. That is Claire, Compte and your truly. A very select bunch, it has to be said, but any more takers? It's a long haul to find Claire's Beemer has expired and Compte is being held by Customs at Dover......

well, I have BT doing an Infinity upgrade in the morning, if they turn up and finish on time then Jackie and I are coming up, I'd say it's a good even money bet. Max is being a wuss but I'll try to persuade him....

Hmmmm, not sure man flu is an accepted excuse. We could put you in far corner and communicate by text.......

Look forward to meeting those that are taking the opportunity to boost their fat and carb intake! (healthy options are probably available...) Usually congregate at a table near the bikes.

Was hoping to drive down in recent eBay purchase but with amount of water about and forecast for more will use something modern-ish and expendable!

If I can finish work in time, trouble is that I'll have to come from Bow which will be a nightmare round the north circ.

We'll save you a seat Tim.

Max, not telling you as you can't make the Ace. If your appointment is 1130 you could probably have a leisurely brunch, easy drive back and still be there by 3pm- just in time......

As in Magistrates Court? Got my very first speeding fine there,76.5mph along Pall Mall in a Lotus Elan,I did stop and wait for the Police Hillman Minx to catch up though,so they only 'did' me for speeding,they forgot about a few 'sideways' moments.

Its a possibility from us . . . have an engine being delivered for inspection and to discuss rebuild spec etc . . . . if thats done and dusted we may well come along. The cortina rad has decided to start ****ing a hot jet directly at the distributor when its warm so the scoobydoo will probably be the transportation device of choice . . . its unlikely I'll be bothered to take it out and try and solder it up . . .again!

The discussion was hidden in 'tea break' so not so easy to spot. Lesson learned, separate thread earlier next time!

Just done 7 miles on cycle to get some fresh air (and rain), so ready for sitting in car for 2hrs. In case anyone missed it in tea break Claire has reserved space under 10-Tenths name from 1100. So if you don't spot a noisy rabble ask......
