Just got back from the Ace, nice to see some of the lads and their cars!
Many many BMWs to share the space with, but a good little 190 turnout:

A couple of lovely valvers from Matt87 and ?

Looks good wish I could have made it I mentioned to Jezzer I would try and get down but I ended up being stuck in the middle of a pile of parts I call my garage which I started sorting out at 6am and didn't finish until 8 pm last night needless to say I was knackered.

Needless to say I have a very tidy working environment now with a stockpile of bits to start listing on Ebay!!

Anyway back to the cars I so wished I could have been there to check the 3.6 out. Those E30's though make it so tempting to defect OMG what have I said

Vin from MBClub has a few pics on the thread over there too (not all that many though):

http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/events/86730-ace-cafe-london-3rd-may-mercedes-meet-8.html

I think to be honest, everyone was busy chatting/looking over cars/going for rides etc and I (for one!) forgot to take any snaps :)

Coincidentally, on the way back (pretty late) I had a brief encounter with an E46 M3 (DSG coupé). I'd been talking about the sound that these cars make earlier at the Ace. Unusually it's the third time I've had a play with one in the CLK55 since last year and I've been quite surprised.

To cut a longer story short - it appears you can't outgun a 5.4 V8 CLK in an E46 M3. The DSG varient with the coupé body should be the quickest/lighest of the lot but it seems as though the AMG has the edge in 3rd gear onwards.

Overall - very closely matched cars in a straight line. Another member on MBClub posted up the power/torque graphs of both cars earlier and it's surprising to see just how much more torque the '55 has.

i know its been said before but i think the W201 is aging better than the E30, saw one in the carpark today and comparing it with my auto the beemer seems older and more retro designed in a way. still bloody good cars mind, dont get me wrong
