Recommended Posts

Hi all. As in previous years we are planning to meet at Cobham Services on the M25 and drive to Ace from Cobham. This is ONLY for any forum members who are confirmed attendees from the submitted list to Ace and NOT for anyone just rocking up and wanting to come ON THE DAY. We will be there around 9.30 and will be leaving at 10. We will park on the right of Cobham Services as you come in on the access road,farthest away from the food court. Anyone is welcome to join us.

Are you on the list buddy? If not you can't attend as this is limited to the number on the list???

Nightmare, this would’ve been a good craic - no worries, I guess I’ll have to wait till next year 🤦🏽‍♂️

I was actually not going to leave home near Gatwick until 11:00, getting to the Ace around 12:30 ish.

 

However, I'm certainly up for a group convoy so will endeavour to be at Cobham by 10:00. If not, see you there. 

 

Just note, I'm not very familiar with Cobham Services but will try to find you going by the location  description from Martin.

Subject to any known issues on the morning, is the intended route going to be M25/M40/A40?

To misquote Gromit it was a Grand Day Out despite arriving on time I then missed the turning and did a lap of the 406 in wrong direction but who cares, great to meet friends old and new and congratulations to all those who organise these events I know they take time and if you are not going to attend on the day at least let the organisers know, according to the oracle of all things 350Z Davey there is a meeting on the 4th July at the National “Motorcycle” Museum near NEC so let’s all make effort to try and get there.

Firstly, a big thanks to Martin for organising this meet - I know from experience that car club stuff (organising events, writing articles for the monthly mag etc) can be a time consuming and sometimes thankless task.

 

I really enjoyed seeing so many Zs together in one place - since taking delivery of my Nismo back in February I'd only seen one other Z on the road before yesterday. A friendly bunch too, had a few good chats! I certainly hope to be able to attend other meets as and when they are arranged. 

 

The trip up from Gatwick was a massive pain, so for the way back we cut down to Kew Bridge and out to the M3/M25 that way - nowhere near as bad as the way up via M25/M40/A40. Back home, the trip computer showed that it had taken nearly three and a half hours to do 101 miles 😒. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see the average MPG was 29, compared to my usual 20 when pottering around locally.

 

Anyway, a few of my photos from yesterday.
