'Ace Cafe' type meeting...

kyote00

Anyone interested in an Ace Cafe type meeting in the Dublin area sometime in Jan or Feb...

Probably best on a sat or sun lunchtime...was thinking of some venue (hotel) somewhere just off the M50 so either N3, N4 or N7....

Just set a date and a location, and hopefully someone will sticky it here for all to see

We building a head of steam, here a few options for a venue.

I based selection on good size carpark, not too busy, somewhere to eat if needed...

1) Lucan Spa Hotel. (Off N4)

2) Clarion Liffey Valley (Off N4)

3) City West Hotel (Off N7)

4) Browns Barn (Off N7 opposite City West)

5) Joels Rest. (Off N7 close to Newlans Cross)


Times:
I think Sunday might be quieter....
1) Jan 20 or Jan 27
2) Feb 3,10,17 or 24


Feel free to add more selections....

My vote is: Lucan Spa, Sunday Feb 3rd.

(once we have selected somewhere, I'll ring them and see if they throw in a few sandwiches...)

spidersonmars

Good suggestions for locations. My vote would be for the Spa Hotel in Lucan also., its easy to get to etc.

kyote00

In the absense of any objections (so far), let me provisionally confirm the following:

Lucan Spa hotel
Feb 3rd, Sunday
11.30 onwards

beanderb4

great to see something being organized. It would be great to get a few people together for this. I will send a note out to some of the Italian classic car club regulars to see if I can muster any interest if you like?

kyote00

thanks. please spread the word .....

Mods: I will bump this thread up once in a while if thats ok....

tc20

carlosfandango

Haven't posted in a while but have been following the progress of this meet.
I'm looking forward to it and will most likely come in the little black 912 or the big six (if I have my daughter with me!).
Looking forward to seeing a bunch of odd old cars and kicking the year off for the classics.

kyote00

can we get a quick headcount of who is coming.... if its just 2 or 3 of us then it may be worth waiting another months....

The plan is:

Lucan Spa Hotel from 12.00 noon this SUNDAY

tc20

Ok, im there dude

franksm

me too

alfarocks

Ya I'll be there as well.. hopefully with a few others..

carlosfandango

I'm there.

carlosfandango

Actually, even looking out the window at the weather, I'm there. I'm not concerned about the weather on Sat. In fact, I'm driving a classic today (even though someone nicked one of my wipers recently!)

alfarocks

Ah so its on saturday then not sunday ??

kyote00

Its Sunday....Feb 3rd. sorry for confusion....feel free to bring whatever and whoever else you wish

MercMad

I'm raging I'll miss this, I'm in Wexford for the weekend !

Hopefully this will be a success and become a monthly thing, I would deffo go next time !

Dades

Afraid I'm driving my old boat to a wedding in Limerick this w/e... so no meet for me.

I'll also be frequenting filling stations in the midlands.

kyote00

The photo guy from Irish Vintage scene will be there ....

So far, I count that we have 5 people planning to attend

Weathers not looking so good for Sunday....:o
Hopefully will change before sunday...

spidersonmars

Hi,

If its the sunday I will hopefully be there. I have one issue, My battery connection seems to be causing me some issues with my electronic ignition etc (I think) this has caused me to backfire and cut out last week. The car is in Leixlip so the distance is very short to the Spa hotel, if anyone has any idea of what I can do, or have a quick peek on Sunday at my car for two minutes at about 11.30 or so that would really help. PM me if you can assist an I give you mobile no and address, I'd really like to go but not in my golf!!!

kyote00

just a reminder that this event is going ahead this Sunday, Feb 3rd at the Lucan Spa Hotel from 11.30...

NEVCC

I be there. we have our club meeting tonight so ill let them all know....

S.I.R

ill attend... need to test camera so should be the perfect place to do so.

carlosfandango

Hey all, just to confirm that I'll be there & friend of mine will be also (in a very nice 2002tii). Not sure what I'll be in but will make an effort regardless.

S.I.R

what cars are you guys bringing ?? ill be there about half an hour early so if ya get there early look out for the shifty eyed guy with the red jacket on

kyote00

thanks for everyone for such an excellent turn out - in spite of the terrible weather.

Hope I didnt miss anyone cars...

kyote00

carlosfandango

Despite the torrential weather, it was great to get out and meet some like minded enthusiasts. All the cars looked fantastic and I look forward to the next time we meet up. Thanks for organising it Kyote00 and brightening up a crappy weekend. I hope everyone got home safely.
