A Few Ace Cafe Pics, French performance & classic night 17-6-13

[Kyle 86]

It was my 1st night at the monthly ace meet. Really good night & well worth the 110 mile round trip

Heres a few pics i got

 

[Chip-mk1]

Best french night they have had I think, quite a few interesting cars there for once.

 

[Kyle 86]

Great selection of cars chip
Shame i never see ya for a chat. I was parked up right up against the windows

 

[-J-]

Was a really good turn out from the CS lot.

As chip said some interesting cars. As always good to catch up with old and new faces

 

[Chip-mk1]

I was wandering around in a black hoody with "Obsessive Performance Disorder" written on the back, I didnt have my car there as I came with Mike Woodford in his diesel clio:

 

[ParisPeach]

dammit I was going to go to this but forgot id agreed to the cinema so annoyed now looks a decent turnout.

looks like some great cars there, cant believe that Saxo is still about.... its crazy but also stupid does it still run 2 engines??

 

[Adamm.]

Nice looks like some pretty nice cars sat there all looking pretty tidy. Although not a fan of the looks on the saxo whats the deal with the engine in the boot? 4 wheel drive twin engine?

Yeah still 2 engines & the drivers seat is in the middle, mclaren F1 style

Yeah 4WD Twin engine
Its been around yonks lol

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Some very tidy cars there, LY is such a good colour :approve:

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah 4WD Twin engine
Its been around yonks lol

Considering I was into saxos for 3 years before I got into clios I am surprised I haven't seen it before lol.

Sheltered life I live .

 

[Chip-mk1]

Saxo is two times 2wd not 4wd.
Huge difference when cornering.

Its was nicely done. Really good engineering but just a rubbish idea using two low powered engines to get not even 400bhp, just use one engine for that and save weight.

 

[leeds_182]

Renault 5 looks awesome.

 

[Lawro]

Some nice motors! The spoiler on that Vee though.. Flippin' huge!

 

[plymcl172]

Renault 5 looks awesome.

+1 on that

 

[Chip-mk1]

Even in real life I thought it looked a bit over the top TBH

 

[Kyle 86]

It is a big ass spoiler aint it.

 

[-J-]

V6 Trophy spoiler IIRC

 

[Willliams]

Its the 'duck tail' spoiler, used on the v6 Trophy cars. Also later copied by Prima Racing, very slightly different.. Would have gone last night too, but got stuck at work until it was too late to go. Doesnt look as busy as last months?

 

[Chip-mk1]

V6 Trophy spoiler IIRC

Yeah its a trophy one, certainly not shy, didnt look terrible but just slightly over the top on a road car really.

 

[-J-]

Wouldn't be what I personally would fit if I could afford a V, but as you say not terrible just a little ott.

 

[Willliams]

If you lot are interested, did you know there were actually 2 types of v6 Trophy spoilers. The duck tail was used on the first series of race cars.

 

[domsclio182]

Some very nice cars there, should have come down but it was a bit further than I thought and didn't have time.

We didnt get there till gone 8pm and it was still worth it.

 

[Willliams]

I thought there were some very nice cars there too :rasp:
