all-ford night,ace cafe,a406 park royal 10/1/05

[cortinaman]

anyone else from here going?

i'll be there (as usual) in my met. blue mk5 cortina.

im easy to spot as im the only one there with a large p.h sticker on the bootlid and a 'jolly p.her' sticker above the tax disc on the windscreen.

[cortinaman]

looks like i'll be the only p.h'er there.....i thought a few of the more local members might have gone for a look and a laugh.
shame as there will be some rather nice standard and modified classic fords up there.

i hope the 450bhp v8 s/charged anglebox turns up,it looks and sounds mental!

i just hope the run-up from southend goes without a hitch.

Cortinaman,
If I'd have known sooner I probably would have gone up there as I've just bought myself a 'fast Ford' to play with.
I've been meaning to get up to the Ace Cafe for a while now but figured that it would be rather on the quiet side this time of year?

[cortinaman]

the ace cafe is NEVER quiet on ford night mate!

its a good night with plenty of standard and modified cars up there (not 'laxed up' ones though)......and the food they serve in the cafe is the dogs bollocks!

Would that be this one...?







How did that meet go? If I'd known about it I'd have gone, I'm up there quite a bit.

thats the one!!!! i just love the sticker on the rear window!!...............thats an awesome little anglebox!.....the numberplate is cool....sorry,that should be 'bad'

this months meet was pretty good (considering how cold it was)......lots of burning rubber from both cars and bikes,plenty of lovely older fords like zodiacs,zephers,a de-bumpered anglia estate,a couple of consuls and a mk1 bullnose sliding-door transit in full raleigh chopper livery,a couple of mk1 capri's inc. a v.nice red 3.0 with a blower sticking out of its bonnet and an exceptional bright orange yank pick-up.......the only dissapointing bit was that there were only 4 cortina's in the carpark (including mine) 2xmk2's and 2xmk5's.....next month should be better on the corty front though.

the loonie in the 'ford express delivery' mk1 escort van was there doing his usual impression of a lighthouse on speed whilst doing donuts round the mini roundabout......that is one hell of a quick van!

Hey people, would we be made welcome in any vehicle or is it strictly fords?

[cortinaman]

everyone is welcome.....but you just wont be able to park in the ace's carpark after about 6pm. (there is plenty of places to park outside the cafe if you get there around 7-7.15pm)

bit of advice,DONT PARK IN THE TILE CENTER CARPARK cos the clampers are total dicks.
