:jump4joy:

I'm up for that again. We should find the Ace a bit easier next time too.
All we need now is someone in a non Triumph who is good with a video camera. Something like this ...

Just need a theme tune. It was an obvious and easy choice for Minis .

On a more positive note for our cars

Or we're you just referring to your own experiences ?

My car should definitely be ready by then, so as long as I haven't blown it up or bent it round a lamp post I'll be up for this.

I'll hopefully make it this time - work got in the way this year.

If you want to keep the route simpler, consider sticking to the river from Tower to Chelsea, the road then naturally takes you up to the A40 where you can scoot along to Hanger Lane and get to The Ace really easily.
