Ace Cafe in North West ?

[DeltaForce]

Would love to have a similar meeting place for shows and events all year round, wondered what people thought, obviously have to be petrolhead friendly.

[s express]

There's a petrol head friendly cafe near Holywell, so North Wales rather than North West. Has big car park tho.

[The Terminator]

This would be a great idea.

There is something in the pipeline about this already.

I cannot say anything more, except if it happens then it truly will be an Ace Cafe for the North West.

Sounds interesting Phil!

Well, bit of digging on DUEDIL reveals a dormant Merseyside company connected with the London Ace Cafe called Ace Cafe Events, with a director chap with the initials GT, who may well own a DB7...maybe a connection there?

Of course, I may be completely and utterly mistaken!

The Filling Station Cafe in Keswick in the Lake District:

That's closer to Scotland than most of the Northwest. :-)

I'm guessing it'd have to be somewhere within the Warrington / Manchester / Preston triangle.

Central to the Northwest road network perhaps?

I heard Amari was looking at incorporating an Ace Cafe style setup at his place? Not a bad idea as he's the main supercar dealer in the NW....

A friend is setting up a 'cars and coffee' meeting at a pub nr Bramhall with a huge car park, ill chase him to see what if anything has been organised.

I'd be open to the idea of having something along the lines of a Pistonhead blat starting and finishing at Gawsworth Hall. There are some fantastic roads on the doorstep, the tea room could be open and there's plenty of parking.

Great location! I would certainly put my name down for that.

[KMF]

Sounds good to me !!!!!

[Gawsworth]

Well, there seems to be a bit of interest and to be honest I would probably like to keep it small & low key. I'd bring something interesting and an Ariel Atom and a TVR 350 would be great company. How much notice do you chaps need, probably a Sunday morning would work best, do we take advantage of the current good weather?

I'm thinking of a loop from Gawsworth over to Chatsworth and back again, via the back roads which makes for a good run, with some of the finest roads anywhere in the UK.

If you've got something intersting, preferably classic or exotic maybe you'd like to join us.

[m1nky]

A Sunday morning would work for me or a weekday evening whothout more than a weeks notice, an excellent route too.

Though the T350 has been replaced with an Exige S

[Gawsworth]

Short notice but Friday the 27th July would be a good evening looking at the weather forecast. The roads should also be quiet as it's the opening ceremony. The run should take about an hour and a half or so, start time can suit the assembled company. If Friday's no good we could maybe look at Sunday 5th August (morning) as another possibility.

[m1nky]

I can't make tomorrow evening and I'm away all next weekend but a run out on Sunday would work or any evening next week? Who else is planning to attend?

[SlowStig]

I wouldn't mind a run out a week on sunday, esp as I missed the cottage loaf meet
