Thank You - Keiths 60th-

[AC Ace Bristol]

Just a quick message to Thank the Fifty or so ACOC members for comming to my 60th Birthday Bash at The Barley Mow, in West Horsley, Surrey on Sunday 14th November.
   
   The weekend Just got Better and Better as time went on,Saturday Night's Dinner with Close Family was a surprise, followed on Sunday with Great Company,Food and Drinks, then presented with a solid silver inscribed (with my name and the AC emblem) Fountain Pen, ten bottles of wine and two bottles of Champagne.
   Then topped with Julie presenting me with a Birthday Cake in the shape of my Ace Bristol BEX333. Seemed such a shame to cut it up,  But share it I must ..........[:p]
   
   Thank you all for making it a very Special Day. [:)]
   
   Hopefully someone can post a picture or two of the day, not forgetting the BEX Birthday Cake. to complement this thank you [;)]

Happy birthday and commiserations on the big Five-O :-)  It comes to us all.....like tax demands....

Ditto that. I hope there are photos, anything incriminating will be treated in the strictest of confidence!!!
   
   Was that 60 ACOC pals at your 50th, or 50 at the 60th??? taxing numbers, eh? [;)]

   Apparently the tyres look flat due to the weight of the driver!!! I always wondered what really happened to the Black Stig!!

[Gus Meyjes]

that is a very authentic replica. Did AC Heritage start a cake division?

Would that be Ace Cake or Space Cake?

There`s certainly a space where the cake was!!!
   Should it also have been a 10th anniversary cake for the BEX/Lessiter partnership?
   I like the idea of an AC Heritage Soft confections department!!!

   Too much happening over the past few weeks,  Didn't realise I
   had owned BEX333 for ten years.
   
   The Rumour that Steve Gray and AC Heritage had been cooking the books was a Ruse ....to hide the fact that they were
   secretly preparing the Paint Oven to Cook the Black ACE Cake.
   
   Having repaired both the front and rear of BEX333 over the years,
   AC Heritage (Brooklands Motor Company) were the obvious Chefs  for this special one off project.[^]
   
   However having made this one off (limited edition) they have
   decided to revert back to the material and scales they are well known for .....  Being Aluminium and 12 inches to the foot.
   
   Vote of thanks to The Chef [:p] ... Julie and to AC Heritage for keeping BEX333 in shape over the past ten years.
   
   Cheers for Now
   
   Keith [:)]

   Was this photo taken very early in the morning as the windscreen looks very frosty ?

Keith,
   
   Nice cake, sorry I could not come over. Is this the first Ace that has lowered suspension that hits the ground.
