(A little meet has been running for a few years now, so this is gunna be a bit more organised!)
Daniel bridle from motormavens will also be taking his usual pretty pictures for the meet.

All pre 1990 Toyota's welcome for the day, (Esp mk1 mr2's!) Starlets, celica's, supra's
So put it in your diary and hope to see you there!

I quite fancy this.....

Need to make sure it passes it's next MOT though (and cure the misfiring)

yeah, sounds like a plan!
Although i'll be in the supra, so may need to go in front of the pack to scout out petrol stations... :roll:

Should be a good day with some cool classic Toyota's, so hope you can make it.

Surely we can sneak you in mate!! :shh:

We'll just swap plates before entry, lol... :lol:

Even better, find a production date on the car...that'll be '89... :+:

I can't wait!! My first meeting in my 1988 MK1! :) :) :)

[MelR2Mk1]

Any more news on this? Has anyone got a convoy planned?

[bluesunbeam]

I will be going up from Reading-looks like it will be great weather and its so close to me that it would be daft to miss the oppertunity -hope to see some other mk1's up there .

[brawr]

As above, any convoys? I'm leaving from Banbury at about 9.30 if you're going that way Mel.

[MelR2Mk1]

Since there was no interest in this early on we gave up on the idea and went to Castle Combe and the Hagerty Drive It Day instead...can't be out in the car every weekend I'm afraid, other stuff to do.

Hope you all have a great time...need earlier planning next time!

Hi Mel,
Just a brief summary of the Ace Cafe meet . Probably about 30 cars there . Three Mk1's turned up - brawr in his blue G plate coupe , myself in my 88 SC and a young couple from Leeds in their barn-find F plate coupe who had come down especially for the meet . All nice folk . The couple from Leeds said they are going to post some pictures (not sure if on this forum ) .

[MelR2Mk1]

Cheers Mr Sunbeam!!! Well done on making it there, and glad there were some other Mk1s to see :) I have meant to get myself to the ACE cafe for years, being a biker, and somehow never actually made it!

Be good to see if the meets catch on...apparently they've been happening 'informally' for a while. If they do, let's make sure more of us make it to the next one!

[Nocturnal]

As promised, some images. Really nice to talk to like-minded petrolheads!

There was a woman driving the C-reg AE86 (shown underneath the sepia-coloured line-up of Corollas), maybe that was hers? It looked lovely!
