Went last night; what a joke! no marshalls, so any old cr#p was parking up. I don't consider an Audi A3, Audi TitTy, Chrysler Crossfire, a Punto or a frickin' BINI BMW/Merc related.
If a BINi's a BMW I should take my mate's MG-ZT next time, seeing as they had a BMW designed floorpan and were owned by BMW at the time.
What a waste of petrol.

Classic Night at the Ace on Tuesday 11th Jan; also happens to be award night for Retro Rides forum, where I happen to be nominated for two awards, not bad for someone who doesn't follow all the rules...

Pah! My E21s been out in the cold and rain (not the snow) without a hitch. Mind you, I've got a pressure washer, I've driven the car up two ramps on one side (like a kerb) and given it a good going over. That and it lives in a garage make a whole heap of difference.

It's not my car getting wet & cold that bothers me. I just don't find North London car-parks are too high up on my 'places to be' list in early January.

It turns out I did stop by for 5mins as the A406 was directly on my route last night! Cars looked good, especially Mark's rims...
