This year's L2B route sheet included the following message:-

"STOP PRESS
NEW START POINT FOR LONDON TO BRIGHTON 2010
A popular car and bike meeting point-ACE CAFE-On the north Circular Road, Stonebridge, NW10 7UD, between A40 and A404.
Sunday May 30th 2010- visit [url]ace-cafe-london.com[/url]"

There was also a separate flyer inviting everyone to attend and bring their classic Citroen to the Ace on Monday 15th June 2009, 6pm-11pm. Normally the 3rd Monday of each month is French Classic & Performance Cars night, but it would be brilliant if we can outnumber the souped up Poo-Jets for once and make it OUR night. Also a great early chance to check out the venue: if it's your first time the food is great and sensibly priced and there's a lot of Ace Cafe memorabilia for sale. If you like their sausages you can even buy some to take home and cook (sorry Mssrs Wulff , Johnston, and any other saffers, I meant braii ).

Please feel free to pass the word round to anyone with a classic Cit of any description. The more of us, the better .

p.s. I've duplicated this post on the 2cvgb forum as well: Not everyone there comes here, and not everyone here is able to go there...

I went to that once. There was our 4x4, a very nice s1 CX Prestige, and a lovely SM. And about 100 chavmobiles. Mind you, the twin-engined R5 GT Turbo was... interesting...



Mmm. Can't say I was impressed on either count.

But... they're REAL CHIPS! Not those previously frozen 'orrible things that most other places provide. "Sensibly priced" is in relation to Croydon and central London; most themed bar cafes serve mediocrity at extraordinarily high prices. I can have either a burger & chips or sausages & mash for less than the price of a cheapy kebab & chips in Croydon. They serve decent tea in proper mugs too

I'm a big fat Midlander, and don't do Haute Cuisine, but....

....you can't go wrong with that for £7. That's me (pre-haircut) in the grey t-shirt tucking in...

i was getting confused. The South Down Escargots are doing a convoy up there on the 15th June and I could have sworn there was a do on the 18th July.... now i get it

I think I might go along to this on the 15th.

Anybody else?

I won't be about, otherwise I'd say "Definitely!"

im gonna try and make it

I'm gonna try to be there finish work at 7 so by the time im home probably be half 8 maybe before when i get there earlier if i just decide to come in work clothes and not bother getting changed

Bugger - really wanted to go to this - but boss has told me to go to Birmingham for 3 days next week. Might have to resign....
