Default Had my first visit to the ace cafe....

...went tonight, got back about an hour ago and sorry to say, but it was shite. Some nice cars, but damn, I really didn't like the atmostphere. Not only that for a place big on the car scene you couldn't park for shit.

Did bump into my old manager and his 150db MR2 and got to watch them lurvy strippers. But a friend of mine was so concerned that his mx-5 would get broken into we left early.

What does anyone else think of that place?

Ace Cafe is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar better by day - grub is the bollox

TBH I don't think of it as a "car" place more of a "rocker" place to me

Is usally a good night tho when the bikers go up there, usually very entertaining, deffo far more than cars (which jsut sit still whilst the bikers show off a lot )

I have to agree with Mac. I live about ten minutes from it and generally get dragged down there to the max power nights and the ford nights. Ford nights are ok. Max nights are shit. Same old cars (which is nice if you like saxo's and golfs). Its more a traffic jam then a show/cruise.

Max power night. Max power shite . Who needs BHP and lbs/ft when you can stick bodykit and stickers on your little french thing and instantly have the quickest car in the world. Max power has a lot to answer for.

I ain't been to a "cruise" for years now - I find them all so lame

Still pop down southend every now and again, but not for the cars anymore - only go now if any mates fancy it as a bit of a laff when theres fook all else to do
