ACE CAFE, Convoy

[chilistrucker]

Hello all

For the Essex/Kent lot how does this sound?
All aim to meet at the Shell garage, M25 junction 28 for approx 9.30-945 at the snack wagon next to the forecourt?

Aim to leave there 9-45 ish for the run round to the Ace which we should breeze for 11am all being well on the M25.

Stu, do you still want to meet at the Mayflower before running onto Brentwood? Think Alex will meet us there also, does 9 sound about right?

Only my thoughts on times, open to any other ideas

Yup that sounds spot on Mayflower for 9am.

Any thoughts on a route ? Was thinking M25, A1, A41, A406

Stuart

Works for me Stu
If any probs on that route, can always go m25, M1, a406.

Are the lads from Kent still interested?

If you are be best to meet you’s at the Shell garage previously mentioned, that saves you diverting to the Mayflower meet to then turn round and go back on yourselves.

Hi guys, yep Mayflower should be good for me. I'll check with my brother that he's OK for 9 as he's heading over to me 1st.

P.S. Is mayflower the shopping park where Tesco & KFC are located?

It is mate, we’ll meet in the McDonalds car park for about 845/9.00

Ask me Monday PM :wink:
Went to Pipecraft for a chat and said I just wanted ‘a bit’. more of a rumble/noise but not a backbox delete, so the centre resonator is being removed.
At least if it doesn’t turn out how I want I can change for a new system at a later date
Thought it was worth a go.....

Booked in for 9am Monday.

Quality hopefully that will be enough for you, I would have gone that route first personally if I had known about pipecraft . It’s definitely worth looking at before spending big money on new exhaust

I've been pondering for ages and after having a good chat with the bloke at Pipecraft and reading his reviews I decided to bite the bullet especially when I look at what this is costing, against the cost of a good aftermarket system. Happy to go that route in the long run if need be, but there are a list of other things I want to get done first.

Car always looks great to me after a good wash and wax, but the more you look at it the more you think, ooo this needs doing, that needs doing, oh and then there is this......

Its not bad for a 100k mile car and a daily driver, but a wheel refurb is on the cards, and I think a respray of some description will be needed next year, I'll show you at the Ace

Really looking forward too the meet to see others cars, what people have done and how they have addressed certain issues with their cars, oh and a full English 8)

Make use you bring some doggie treats for 2 dogs. He can get snappy when he’s hungry

Good luck with the exhaust on Monday also mate. I might have to bring ear plugs driving with all these noisy E89’s the following Saturday
