LightBulbFun Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 @Zelandeth @dollywobbler @AdgeCutler anyone? if theres gonna be an AC Acedes Mk15 (Model 67) it would be a great opportunity to confuse some people by parking a Model 70 and/or Invacar Mk12 next to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesacosa Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Really been thinking today if I should go or not. I have been so upset about the ULEZ verdict today even though I expect it that the thought of spending the day looking at cars I can no longer aspire to have is too depressing.. But then I thought that's exactly what he wants, anyone who doesn't buy into his ideology to be punished.

jmsguzzi Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Gonna be bringing the Forester, think it’s more suitable than the Merc and it’ll be nice to give it one final run out before part exing it against my mates SAAB 9-5 next week. loserone and wesacosa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Best wishes/good luck to all those of you who are going.

I was a little disappointed to read further up the thread you wouldn't be attending. Obviously you have a decent excuse, we'll miss the Laurel as a natural gathering point! I'm going again, not in my Lexus. Also got a friend to attend in his quite smart and not massively unexception V90 which he is 'displaying'. I know a few dismiss the event these days but I've been really looking forward to it. Spottedlaurel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grogee Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Safe travels to those pilgriming. Remember, make sure to idle in the traffic in case your starter's borked. But also remember to turn off the engine in traffic to prevent overheating. I'll try and go next year but only if that chancing ballsack Brewer isn't going.

Sunny Jim Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Couldn't get the suspension leak or fast idling issue on BX sorted in time so I'm in the Fabia. Kinda hope I get parked in the classic and unexceptional anyway if only to upset the self-appointed FoTU Taliban in the Facebook group. grogee, AnnoyingPentium, PicantoJon and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownnova Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Massively jealous of all who are going, I thought I’d not be able to, and then last minute could.

LightBulbFun Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 bit of a Long shot, but if anyone happens to find the AC Acedes Mk15 , if you could photograph the *underside* of the dashboard for me, that would much appreciated! I am quite eager to know what that looks like for important AC Invalid vehicle research! Ted knows who I am so feel free to name drop me to get access so to speak LOL On 07/04/2023 at 14:30, LightBulbFun said: however here is a standard AC Acedes Mk14 inside shot (ie not a reverse control machine) and again looking "backwards" from a similar angle of a reverse control as in this shot note the hump is again on the other side! the really curious thing! is the parts manuals I have, make NO MENTION of seperate reverse control parts, apart from 1 washer that has a note "for Reverse control machines only" so I have to wonder, where Fibreglass Acedes made to be flipped if that make sense, IE is the dashboard, literally the same plastic moulding, just turned the other-way around? (I have never seen underneath a Fibreglass Acedes dash board to see if its solid or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Good to see so many familiar faces there today. We got in earlier so no drama, but the sound of imminent failure echoed across the lanes as, once again, people took too long to get parked. Still, the bASe got lots of attention (mainly due to being parked next to a Delorean) and I successfully managed to avoid every YouTuber, Content Creator and weirdo who was there. (literally hundreds) my son takes a truly terrible photo! trigger, rob88h, danthecapriman and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
