Genuine question really.... it gets a lot of mention for meet ups etc. And is 5th filmed outside of it?

But what makes it such a good place? Isn't that where all the chavs meet to see who's got the most bodykit and exhausts ?

It used to have a Jap meet every 1st Tue of the month but it was cancelled a couple of months back for anti social activities (racing on the road outside)

ace cafe started off as a meeting point for bikers, way before chavs existed as far as i know, then slowly more and more clubs used it too.

Back then the North Circular was the only way round London - no M25 - so it was on a very main road N-S and extremely popular. There were a few good places on the A3 and A31 too.

Motorways killed the caffs. :(

I want to go to the classic car/low rider/hot rod meets there personally, they are just awesome!
Oh and the jap meet would be pretty good (if it were still going). lol

Come on Arron, don't you know EVERYTHING is better within the M25? :rolleyes:

;)

As far as I can gather it's historical as said above.

I go there a bit, hardly a chav meet, that was just saved for jap car nights:D,( which have sinsce been baned) loads car clubs use it, they have porsche, lambo, ferrari meets there etc, makes a nice night out to see the various cars and the grub aint bad either.
