Well its that time of year again. Its 11 am on at the Ace Cafe on 9th June.
Think I might tool along to that in something relevant.
Anyone else up for it? Weather is supposed to be better on Saturday.

Triumph day at the Ace
Note from Admin: sadly Jon passed away in February 2018 but his humour and wealth of knowledge will be fondly remembered by all. RIP Jonners.
Re: Triumph day at the Ace
Would be tempted but will be otherwise engaged taking the GT6 to the bodywork doctors down on the South Coast.

I might be up for that Jon. Never been and was looking for an excuse to go.
Let me know if you are still planning a trip ..

Re: Triumph day at the Ace
Well a good time was had by all and knowing that 3 sprints were going I took the spit just to be different, and cos I like showing a car with
a sheddy interior.
Mike Reg and Rush all joined me and it was a fun time. A bit lower on attendance maybe than last year. Stags were still the most common car of the day
with 6 in total....1 up on TR5's of which I saw 4, yes 4. How rare are they! The 3 sprints are a total credit to their owners, all in fantastic shape.
Car of the day for me was though was the green TR2...just so primitive. A lovely mk1 GT6 ran it close on sheer rarity, and came up from Southampton with a TR5 for company.
but I claim the prize for the car owned longest. Ive had the spit 30 years now. Nobody I spoke to was even close....ha!
