Tackleberry Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 Been mooching on YouTube with a variety of "meet" video's, including Jolly Farmer, Boxill and Ace Cafe. Jolly Farmer meets appears to be the more respectable, with the occasional "slip of the clutch".... Boxhill's similar with a bit more "foot slipped off the clutch whilst getting cramp in my right leg officer".... But shit it my boots, Ace Cafe....it's just filled with Johnny Boys in Civics and knobhead moped riders pulling wheelies and cutting through traffic....!! Wouldn't want to go there on a non classic meet through fear of some knobhead scratching my pride and joy. Some of the antics are laughable, others are embarrassing.. ie, some biff trying to drift around a mini roundabout about in a limited slip diff merc...or just completely shitte at driving full stop. Don't get me wrong, I've dumped the clutch and lit the tyres....but those days are few and far between. Do you think it's down to older owners, more respect for the cars, or been there and done that...?
PeteRS8084 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 There has been some right moments at the ace, when I say moments I mean knobs smashing up their pride and joys! 1
SmokeEm Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 Hence why oldskoolford disassociated itself from the ace cafe meets years ago... 1
khanlad Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 I've heard although it could be bollox that the ace cafe is a gnats cocktail from being shut down because of it?
accord83 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 I'm a bit far north to visit the Ace, although rowdiness is not unknown up here in the sticks, I've even been known to honk my horn at a sheep before. I think with me and my friends though it's a case of "The older we get, the faster we were". 1
DT36 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 I snapped one of my drive shafts on the weekend, but it was on a closed industrial estate. If I'm out on a public road in my Escort, then I just burble along like any other Bampy.
skeeter Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 I went onto a "meets" youtube site too - the wife is only just speaking to me! 2
colr6 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 Just listen at all you softees. What wrong with putting your shades on, bus pass in pocket, putting Nat King Cole on full blast and terrorising the local buses pulling wheelies on my battery bike. Off for a tatto next week and a leather jacket. Lo and behold any lollipop lady who gets in my way! Who needs the ace cafe 3
Admin Vista Posted April 26, 2016 Admin Report Posted April 26, 2016 Hence why oldskoolford disassociated itself from the ace cafe meets years ago... They publicly blamed us for that too despite us disassociating ourselves from their events years previously. My beef with it is it's me the Police come to when there are complaints about it. This despite me living hundreds of miles away and having nothing to do with any of the meets that carry (or have carried) our name. John was also getting some of it but I think (hope?) it doesn't happen so much anymore for him.
colr6 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 They publicly blamed us for that too despite us disassociating ourselves from their events years previously. Is that because most people refer to older Fords as Old Skool fords so thats how mistakenly they were attatched to the Old skool Ford club?
nosher 64 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 I only go to thw Ace cafe once a year for Cortina day.. The drive there is scarey enough. The north circular road is like wacky racers !! And their sausages are always undercooked ! 1

Admin Vista Posted April 26, 2016 Admin Report Posted April 26, 2016 Is that because most people refer to older Fords as Old Skool fords so thats how mistakenly they were attatched to the Old skool Ford club? Possibly partly to do with that but the main reason is that the people organising the official OSF meets there told them they couldn't do it anymore but the venue kept promoting it as OSF night anyway. With advertising by them as anyone welcome, no one there to take any kind of control and the venue not stepping up to do so, predictably it got out of hand. Police involved etc. Then the venue posted it on their website suggesting it was all our fault.
colr6 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 Hmmm so was there a counter reply to their suggestion?

Sorry if this offends some of you noobs to the osf scene , its not only about what your motors worth puddy Noob to the OSF scene? No, owned them for over 30 years. Just don't agree that irresponsible driving at inappropriate times is universally accepted as being representative of the scene.
Admin Vista Posted April 26, 2016 Admin Report Posted April 26, 2016 Hmmm so was there a counter reply to their suggestion? They were sent appropriate cease and desist letters yes.

Just don't agree that irresponsible driving at inappropriate times is universally accepted as being representative of the scene. 30 years , that still makes you a noob in my book As for irresponsible driving at inappropriate times , I always make sure I am near a oap's home or primary school when I get er' sideways puddy
Admin Vista Posted April 27, 2016 Admin Report Posted April 27, 2016 30 years , that still makes you a noob in my book Whatever you say wise sage, we noobs are not worthy 1
