A tale of two car nights

I went along to two very different car related nights in the last couple of days, the first was the executioners spring riot at the Ace cafe in London and the second was the Club Triumph Eastern club night at Ramsden Bellhouse.

The Ace cafe was absolutely packed out, there cars parked all over the place, every available space seemed to be filled with American cars or Hot rod's. The pictures below show some of the cars that were there.


What ever your views are on taking an old car and changing it beyond recognition you have to admire the work and skills needed to create these cars. The engines are pure works of art in many case's as are the body work and interiors.

The second night was the regular Club Triumph Eastern club night at the White Horse pub in Ramsden Bellhouse. There was a good turnout as normal and the car park displayed a good number of Triumph's, there was a particularly good show of Spitfires along with Heralds, Vitesse's, TR4A, Austin Healy 3000 amongst others. The night was its usual blend of good food, discussion, the customary quiz and raffle. It was an altogether more civilised occasion than the previous night, but they were both enjoyable in their different ways.
