Ace Cafe / Central London Cruise
Yes its the welcome return back to its more usual September date. Organised by the SDBC
Full details to follow but we generally meet at Beckton (E6 6LG) East London and cruise through the centre of town taking in The Limehouse link tunnels (yes Tunnels!!!!), Tower Hill, The Embankment, Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Park Lane - lots and lots of waving tourists and then heading to the world famous Ace Cafe (NW10 7UD) just off the North Circular.
We have the cafe booked for 2pm to 4pm. Full details will appear here as we get closer to the date.
Here's a taster from last years cruise:

In case anyone hasn't seen this yet.

It appears they are proposing an ultra low emissions zone in London, the ban will be on pre-EU6 diesels — cars registered before 2014, and pre-EU4 petrols, as well as any registered before 2005.
Lets hope if it does go through it's only enforced during the week and not weekends
Cant see that going through at all - politically will never happen (not without lots of exceptions) never the less, very happy to sign it regardless.
I just saw this too here
http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/news/classic-car-auctions/800023357/?utm_campaign=CCFS-Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=01112013-Newsletter&utm_content=Lead-story&cm_ven=ExactTarget&cm_cat=CCFS_NEWS_FRI_140314&cm_pla=CCS_Newsletter&cm_ite=Lead+story&cm_ainfo=&att1=&att2=%%__AdditionalEmailAttribute2%%&att3=%%__AdditionalEmailAttribute3%%&att4=%%__AdditionalEmailAttribute4%%&att5=%%__AdditionalEmailAttribute5%% (http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/news/classic-car-auctions/800023357/?utm_campaign=CCFS-Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=01112013-Newsletter&utm_content=Lead-story&cm_ven=ExactTarget&cm_cat=CCFS_NEWS_FRI_140314&cm_pla=CCS_Newsletter&cm_ite=Lead+story&cm_ainfo=&att1=&att2=%%__AdditionalEmailAttribute2%%&att3=%%__AdditionalEmailAttribute3%%&att4=%%__AdditionalEmailAttribute4%%&att5=%%__AdditionalEmailAttribute5%%)
They say proposed by 2020 but yes hopefully won't happen, can't see how it will what about the people who actually live in central London with old classic cars the royal family being some of them....... then again they can just move them out to the country estate ;D
Is Boris really suggesting that the Monarchy ditch a good percentage of their classic fleet ?
Can`t see it for one minute, but also happy to sign, just in case ;-)up
Classic red open top buses?
But even in 2020, there will still be a lot of pre-2005 petrol cars/vans etc and what about pre-2014 vans/taxis etc. still on the roads.
Boris wont be mayor in 2020
So any news on the proposed route?
Need to check with Hunter and Gary, but personally my guess is that it would be the usual one - Beckton, across docklands, embankment, parliament square, Marble Arch etc... Can discuss at Swanage I reckon.
Just got sight of this and I'm not working then so up for this. Not sure the family will be joining as my boys have now got there swimming lessons on Saturdays.
Having said that the way things are going the damn wife will be going and I'll be doing the swimming duty ::) ::)
Testa
You see, that's why you were building the yellow buggy, remember! ;D ;D ;D
I will be there .....hide ya keys Robinson lol
Andy, I wonder if Dave can install you a keyless system this weekend. ;D
Why is the buggy working lol ;-)up
Looking forward to this Chris have you got a new buggy yet mate

Is that for his sandrail or has he got lots of bits ;-)up
Rail ..no engine tho...it would be heavily altered tho..with what I have in mind ,hot rod rail buggy ..will look awesome
The route will be the normal route taking in the sites through London. I will check a few days beforehand to make sure no road closures or visits from the pope.
If anyone has got any places they would like to see we can tailor the route to accommodate
I'm planning on canary wharf, Tower of London, Big Ben, Buckingham palace and marble arch
There will be meeting points at Beckton, Thurrock, clacketts lane services and wisely.
Let us know where you plan to join the cruise
CB radios will be a great help to keep us all together
Hi buggy people, what time approx. meet up @ Thurrock ?? http://www.beachbuggy.info/Smileys/Current%20Set/cool.gif
Don't quote me, until Gary confirms it, but in previous years, we are at Beckton for about 10.00-10.30 and so I would suggest Thurrock at 9.30? ?
But I stress am only saying that as a guide for you.
Meanwhile, we may have some visitors join us too, so certainly worth putting this date in your diary even if you don't normally join us for it. :-X
Hudge Buggy
IF I have it back together and MOTd I will be going, although cant stay at Ace long as going out in evening.
Could meet up near Ipswich, then meet Colchester lot. havent caught up since getting back from hols so not read whos going yet
Dave
Hi All
The plan will be.
Thurrock Services (next to the petrol station HGV side) 0900 to leave at 0930
Beckton B&Q Car Park 1000 to leave at 1030
Cruise through London to Ace Cafe
The route will be as followed.
A13 - Lower Lea Crossing (Underpass) - Keeping left into Canary Wharf Estate - Limehouse Link (Tunnel (watch the speed cameras)) - Highway - Upper Thames Street - Lower Thames Street - Victoria Embankment - Parliament Sq - Whitehall - The Mall - Hyde Park Corner - Park Lane - Marble Arch (regroup in Hyde Park) Bayswater Road - Shepperds Bush Green - Wood Lane - A40 Western Avenue - Hanger Lane Gyratory system - A406 - Arrive Ace Cafe
We should arrive around 2pm to enjoy a nice cold drink as the weather should be scorching
Thanks for the update Big GP, I'm really looking forward to this run, my intention is to meet @ Beckton @ 10ish, maybe picking up others on the way down south, hopefully this will be bigger than ever.
Cheers
Hudge
If any of our more northern chums want to come down the night before I'm about 40 miles north of London.
I have 2 spare rooms, a double and a twin, plus room for a few tents in the garden, private driveway too with plenty of room. It'll save some of you a long drive.
Let me know.
A little early say but if you haven't done this run before, this years could be a special one so if you can make it, I would highly recommend it! ;) :-X
Put it in your diary now!
Anyone familiar with London? Would you be willing to navigate a group through? I think we may have the biggest show of buggies since we started doing the Ace cafe run
Anyone heading over to Essex from Kent I can meet up with?
I'm back from my hols,shall be there look out I'm feeling my useful mad self again 8)
I will see you all at the cafe then.
Looking good for this one ;-)up

So can't Waite it's been a year since I had a buggy and just starting a new thing ...such a good laugh ,so beats sitting at shows lol...so missed all this ;-)up
Is there anyone who wants to go but has no working buggy? Maybe those with spare seats can offer their seats
Hi, I'm travelling south with Dave Doon L001 calling in @ Colchester and all ports south on the way to Beckton ( Dave to confirm pick=up's) any way , those not mobile buggy owners who fancy slumming it for the day( a couple or three) and don't mind listening to 70's reggae , your welcome to jump in, Bring warm clothes, I don't use a roof. Will deliver any passenger back home on the way home to Suffolk, ( forgot to mention baffles out @ Beckton).
So looking forward to this 8)

No cooking chips and mushy peas in the carpark ;-)up
No worries Andy .We are bringing the caravan down for the weekend ;-) Thanks for the offer Chris but we are booked on just down the road from your Pub at Waltham Cross so we will hopefully take up part of your offer and relieve you off a bacon butty or two (with the kids its 5 !) ;D
Chris how about making up a box load for when you arrive at Beckton?
Like your style Gary lol ;-)up no problem simon I can cope with more than 5 bacon but ties trust me lol see you all then ...remember bacon but ties and coffee at mine from 9 see you all then ;D
Just realized, I am offering lifts but cant stay long at the Ace, so if anyone wants my passenger seat they will either have to leave the Ace early or get a lift back with someone else - evening out arranged
to all you folks going get them cameras charged up for us who cant go and do not forget to turn them on (Andrew) ;-)up
:P

Great collection of photos you have put together there Peter, it was a cracking day.
Favourite moments?
33 buggies queueing to get through the security barriers onto Canary Wharf with three harassed policemen trying to get everyone else past while they got the OK to let us in. They had tall ships in and loads of road closures so could have done without us. Then once in everyone taking photos with loads of signs saying strictly no photography.
The many "supercars" we saw being ignored by the public and out revved by everyone. The flash Ferrari with the old boy driving who got forced into a lap of Parliament Square.
The irate taxi driver stuck as someone blocked the road by the Tower to get all of us through a right turn. Did anyone see a taxi driver smile during the whole cruise? We had a bus driver get out of his cab to take photos.
And of course the buggys, drivers, passenger and a great day all round.
I had to leave the Ace a bit early as had to get back for an evening out, dropped my passenger at Wickford then a nice cruise back home. Got on the dual carriageway and got a move on, speedo didnt like the numbers and stopped working (had sat nav) and speedo stuttered back into life when I got back into 30/40 speeds- strange
Really great photos as ever from all the usual suspects and and few others too. Brilliant brilliant day - well done to Hunter and Gary for organising it.... (sorry Gary, one day may be, one day... ;) )
Have started to do a video... going to take a long long time, so much footage to add. BUT have done a short one for now (well its still 8mins) just processing it now and will upload the link as soon as its available. ;-)up
....and here it is!
Just a tiny amount of the shed load of video footage I have, care of Mark Watson (4buggy), Sam Lomax, Joe Nevell and Hunter as well as my go or on camcorder. I will try to do a more detailed video when I have more time.
Oh and it's reassuring that it's not just me who forget to hit the record button ;D ;D
Remember try to watch in HD if you can....

Firstly I would like to thank Gary for sorting the logistics in London, this is a nightmare but a cracking job once again. ;-)up
Next I would ike to say a big " THANKYOU" to all you guys for turning up and making it what it has become, an event not to be missed. :D
And Andrew, thanks for sorting the camera work out and doing the editing, that first clip has a real nice sample of what went on.
Thanks Guys. Hunter.

PS. Sam, what did the copper say to you on Parliament square?
Yes was going to ask the same! I know he asked how many of us there were and seemed v friendly, but not shown you were chatting a bit with him.
All the coppers were really good considering the disruption we undoubtedly caused at a few spots, that lot at Canary Wharf were brilliant.
I guess compared to the scum they usually have to deal with us lot were a welcome distraction.
As always, great day, thanks to the organisers

Spot the difference .....

He was a more interested in the cars, where we were going, what we were doing, but from a friendly point rather than a grumpy copper point of view, said how great all the buggies look and hoped it stayed dry for us all, he was a good laugh anf good that some police do have that human side.........
Great video Mr R
