General Forum / Keith Lessiter's Father's day
« on: November 21, 2010, 16:05:10 »
Keith asked me to post some pictures on his behalf:
Very rarely do I visit the Ace/ Aceca Brooklands section of the club Forum,
however quick visit this morning brought back memories when I was given the
keys to a light green Aceca Brooklands.
BEX333 was with Steve Gray at Brooklands Motor Co ( A C Heritage ) for
repairs inflicted on departure from the Ferry returning from competing in
the Manx Classic in 2007. The Ace went well, the Driver did OK, however the
Ferry ramp creased the exhaust manifolds and pushed the rear outrigger
through the offside rear tyre and the exhaust system through the rear
wing.... Gutted or What?. My Son Barry was very positive and said "Dad it
could have been worse, it could have happened on the way to the event"
......... Positive Thinking.
I digress.
Upon arrival at Brooklands Circuit - The Mercedes Test Track, Steve Gray
threw me a set of keys and said as it's Fathers day ( 17th June 2007) would
I like to take my Father round the Test track in the Light Green AC Aceca.
Well, what a silly question ..... like asking if the Pope is Catholic.
Please find attached 7 photos of said Aceca, my Father & I putting in a few
Laps. The owner of this Aceca and another plus a 3rd body and a vast hoard
of spares was Piers J Martin from Lancaster UK. Who enjoyed the sight and
sound of His Aceca being driven fairly hard round the circuit. (only had
about 650 miles on the odometer)
Cheers for Now
Regards
Keith Lessiter
