Which way are you coming from?
I mean what motorways will you be using to get into london?

From Plymouth, i would imagine you'll be using the M5 up to Bristol, then the M4 all the way into London.

When you get to the M25, go left as if you were going towards the M1.

Follow the M25 round to Junction 16 which will be the M40 exit, the motorway tuns into the A40 as you go into London.

When you come off the M25 and get onto the M40/A40 the road will bend all the way round as if you were going back on yourself.

Follow the A40 into London and look out for the Wembley/Park Royal/M1/A406 NORTH CICULAR signs and come off at Hanger Lane, which is a big rondabout with a tube station in the middle.

When you come up the slip road, keep in your left hand lane, then take the 2nd exit on the roundabout.

Follow the NORTH CICULAR, about a mile, then come off at the 1st slip road.

Turn left at the top, then turn imidiete right and you will see the ACE CAFE on the left.

Park on the foot path oppisite the cafe, as thats where every1 parks up to stand around their cars and watch all the action.

Hope thats not to complecated for ya mate.

Plymouth is fooking miles away tho!

Fair play to ya if your gonna make the trek.

I come down from Northampton, which is a 120 mile round trip.

Yours will be more like a 300-400 mile round trip.

What you driving?

Many thanks for takin the time to explain how to get there its seems complicated but will probably much clearer on the journey, yes it is a bit of a trek but from what i have heard it is worth it, i have a mint s1 turbo but will not be bringin it as i dont seen to have much luck with turbos going long distance, so i will be drivin my 328i sport much more comfy for a long journey, whats the turn out normally like there? an what time does everyone get there?

Well both sides of the street are filled with people waiting and watching all the action.
It usualy starts getting busy aout 7-8ish all the way through to 11-12ish.
Sometimes theres really powerfull/special fords that turn up and do a burnout/doughnut.
Some of the cossies are great whilst drifting round the mini roundabout.
Might take my camera this time.
Get there early, 6-7pm to get a decent parking spot.
I'll be there just after 6 as usual.

Aint gonna be able to make it now, as the driveshaft has gone or is going.
I'm off to Lanzarote next week, so it'll have to wait till i come back.
Thats gonna cost me a couple of hundred quid now.
Feels well dodgey driving local.
