Meet Details: There will be a competition for the best
presented car from each decade of

I might go to this. I am going to Legoland during the day and could pop along on the way back. Still a logistical nightmare though, as i am working Guildford on Thursday and that would mean a trip back to Norfolk to get the car and go back down again!

Thanks for pointing that out!
Thought I'd only got rid of the LX line to make way for the gif, looks like I was a bit keen on the delete key! :D
Technically still have the LX, but only until I can sell the engine and remove the three front spheres.

Nah she just needs her heater matrix done and her centre exhaust stretched.
Not having much luck finding anywhere in the area that could extend either the front end pipe on the back box, or the long pipe to it of the middle silencer.

Going in the DS Richard?

I'll try to be there, pending any last minute needs to journey down west. This time in the Activa.

Looks promising for an FCF mini-meet as well as the principal event!

Does the Ace Cafe have enough parking for an event like this? I've seen the place from going past in the train enough times and it don't look that big to me or is the plan to shut the North Circular for the day and use that for parking? Mind you, most times I see the North Circular (again from the train) it looks like it's doing an impression of a car park anyway :lol:

I'll more than likely go in the DS.

The car park isn't very big and what there is is reserved for those who have entered for the concours :roll: there is a fair bit of parking available in the street but I'd advise getting there early to ensure a space.

That's a lovely car Jennie :D

Shameless excuse to show a picture of my red Activa..

No, it's not parked against a mirror. The car immediately behind is Mike's (Superloopy1) LX Activa look-alike, previously owned by Gareth (Xantiaman583)...
