Ace Cafe: 13th of April 2024
« on: February 29, 2024, 06:24:16 PM »

The upcoming meet is on the 13th of April 2024 - I am looking to go for the first time in 4 or 5 years(!) since these meets usually fall on the same weekend as the opening season of fighting robotics. Unsure if I'll be coming in my 454 or either of my 450s but am aiming to go. Anyone else?

I most likely be there, as it's more or less just around the corner, will take the Brabus 454. Only ever get more than 3or 4 forfour 's

I'll be there in my Brabus, so at least there'll be 3 if not 4 of our beloved 454's  ;)

I'll be there in my 454 as well (sans the rear spoiler, I've not had a chance to work on that just yet though the remants of the original are on the back seat). Neither of the 450's are ready for a long trip just yet.

I'll probably have a tape measure with me for measuring the OEM spoiler dimensions. ;)

Sadly, I can't make this as I've come down with something :( Hope all who do attend have a good time.

Well at least 4 of us managed to 'brave' the glorious sunshine
and make it to this event, although the overall turnout of all
models was somewhat disappointingly low  ::)

The 454 contingent comprised of yours truly, cecil, jmariog and hero of the day had to be
mr singh who trekked all the way down from Bradford Leeds  :)

Regretably jmariog left before l took the photo...
(if he hadn't then there would've been a BMini between his and our cars)

it was a really nice catch up and i honestly wasnt expecting a massive 454 turn out, but i was a little disappointed with the over all turn out. previous turn outs, the car park has been full, this time, there was space to be seen.
