Multics Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Was bored and drove down to Ace Cafe with the Polo. The place was full of people, mostly chavs with Corsas. The carpark was packed with "tuned" cars, bass contest and half naked "models". There were a few tasty cars and noticed two or three Supras as well. Then the burnouts and "drifts" started around the little roundabout then this happens: He made a runner, the Ace Cafe van was in a bad shape and he broke a concrete pylon as well (can't see it in the vid)... Luckily nobody was injured as I said the place was packed. Police came straight away. So, was it you??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I've seen a couple of incidents at that roundabout and I have only been there about 6-8 times. I missed the police chopper call out at one of the events. That would've been fun to watch. I do miss the ace cafe. Nothing better than 15 rx7s leaving in convoy making rip down the a406!! Infact multics that's where I met you. You probably can't remember - I do as you were the only skyline which turned up once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 So wrong side of the road, wrong way "around" a roundabout, crash, leaving scene... I presume someone got the plate details, you can't see them on the video. Hope whoever it is gets the book thrown at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'll never be going to the Ace cafe again. Some prick smashed into my last supra and drove off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'll never be going to the Ace cafe again. Some prick smashed into my last supra and drove off. Shoot that's really bad. I remember when someone nicked the brake fluid cover from the whifbitz rx7 I think. Can't imagine why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Just highlights why I stopped going to Ace Caf, why they stopped inviting the jap cars and why it gets a bad name... With you on the book comment Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 What an idiot. The driver needs to grow some balls and be man enough to face the music instead of running off like a little squirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 While agreeing with Michael and Gav, will they get the book thrown at them? From watching various "cop" programmes on telly it seems the punishments for such misdemeanours in England are very minor compared to Scotland. SOme get off with official warnings when you would be more likely to get jail here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I had to replay that about 4/5 times, so this guy just slowly drove towards the van and crashed into it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Yeah i cant be bothered with meets where anyone can turn up in whatever hidious corsa or badly modded shed they have... IMO chavs ruin it all of the time, you always get some fool decide to act like a t*at and ruin the reputation of others, or try and steal things off cars... what a waste of skin these people are. I am too with Michael all the way on this one.. "Hope whoever it is gets the book thrown at them" Im just going to stick to the Sunday service Pistonheads meets and the ones arranged on here i think, far more grown up and people who are actually petrolheads not pillheads.

Multics Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 I had to replay that about 4/5 times, so this guy just slowly drove towards the van and crashed into it? It looks slow on the video but he basically locked the brakes and went straight into the van/pylon. To me it's total lack of common sense. I don't mind a few burnouts or straight line acceleration IF the road is totally clear but in this case as I said, the place was really busy with people filming stuff on their mobiles in the middle of the road. Just after the crash a Civic passed straight through the middle of the roundabout almost crashing into another car (guy coming out from work, there's lots of people working shifts there), the Civic must have been doing double the speed limit, easily...

SupraStar 3000 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Looks like a scene from the new 'Fast and Failure' movie. what a twonk! I bet the fella in the truck was laughing his ass off. Somebody must know him or the Supra. Name and shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Liking the "Oh... Hell... Yeah" at 0.04 As for the driver, I hope his car will cost alot to fix!

I'd been wanting to go to the Ace cafe for ages, I didn't realise it was like this at all! It's not always like this (not seen the vid as at work but judging by feedback). Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Normally supra or rx7 only events are ok. Its when its a mix the problems start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttynutz Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I thought they stopped these "tuned" and "jap nights" ages ago at Ace cafe. Is that the small roundabout on the corner of Ace? just before the tunel/arches? usually theres alot of people standing around there. very lucky no one got killed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'd been wanting to go to the Ace cafe for ages, I didn't realise it was like this at all! I've walked past it once when I was going to see someone at Wembley Arena. It's quite a small venue for meets: you'd need to be really into car meets to travel from Yorkshire IMO. Mind you, that was on a grey Sunday afternoon, and that part of London is not known for its glamour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
