Hi Neil,

Mate we must have been working on them at the same time :lol: Sorry fella did not see you had popped up yours almost at the same time otherwise I would have added mine to your thread...I was so dam tired after uploading I just hit the "submit" without checking :banghead: but between us we have done very well. Your photos are brilliant Neil. Nice one.

Yep it will be great to meet up with you chaps again before the year is out hopefully in Bristol...

All the best

Hi Neil,
It looks like you had an "Ace" day!
All the forum cars look superb, as ever, I also especially like the RS3100 as they look so good in yellow.

Did you record your Hindhead tunnel blast this year?

All the best,
Andrew.

A great set of pictures Neil, the ACE is such an iconic venue, must have felt good to attend with your car. I'm getting more of a mk2 fan lately, that JPS looks stunning. Plenty of great Capris in attendance & weather played ball as well. Bet it felt good to arrive with the forum cars, will have to make this one year. Thanks for posting these.
Cheers,
Rob

No problem Nick, I was also thinking about adding my photo's to yours if you had posted.
I did 230 miles in the Capri yesterday and was feeling shattered but it was a great day :D The worst part of the day was sitting in traffic on the M25 watching the temp gauge going up and seeing people at the side of the road with their bonnets up. Fortunately I made it through without it boiling over :applaud:

See you in Bristol :D

Hi Andrew,
There were a lot of nice cars there and its a great venue for this type of meet. When me and Mark arrived they had a Harley meet on, so it was nice to have a look around at them and watch them ride of before the Capri's arrived.
You must try to attend next year. One of the chaps there stayed in a Premiere Inn nearby that had secure parking and it only cost him £29.

I'm struggling to extract the footage off my dash cam at the moment, but hopefully my son will help me out later and I can post it :D

All the best
Neil

Hi Rob,
I'm with you some of the Mk2's are starting to look really good now and I was never a fan in the past. Get your name on the list next year and book yourself into the nearby Premiere at £29. It would be nice to see you and Andrew there next year :D

All the best
