I like the view of her back side too! That's probably a good thing since the new ACE is so fast it's likely the view I'll have to get used to! I was able to get that little bit of video before Pete and I took the backroads to Pacific Raceway for a day in the Car Club area during last weekend's Vintage Races; we even got to have a few laps on the track! It took all my courage, and ACE#10's power, to keep up as much as I did. When we got back to the paddock I was laughing uncontrollably... been a long time since I've had so much fun! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/07/08/IMG_3598-3.jpg)

Lovely looking car but what possessed Pete to make that hideous steering wheel. Looks like something from the Fandango Wheel Co (Hamlet Cigars advert). The other thing from someone who has an artificial ankle, now on its second replacement, courtesy of a Lotus 62, I am not sure I would be comfortable driving a car where the front crumple zone is my feet.

The second new ACE is built, finished in Classic White with Black. As the sun rose and fog lifted, it was time for a drive... ACE in Black & White (video link)![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/10/10/DriveScreenShot.md.jpg)

Sounds like a formula racer, and looks good.
I bet it is smooth.

Sounds a bit different to the V twin engine that's for sure.
It looks to be very well made as you would expect on the close up shot of the front suspension, interesting that it has an anti roll bar, wonder if that's needed with the rear engine layout moving the weight further back?

Lovely exhaust note. Shame about the inane backing track.
I wonder why they chose to mount the wheel with a spoke blocking a clear view of the tacho?

God that music is naff. The wheel needs mounting properly but it did sound lovely

Looking at the emblem on the wheel, it looks like the spoke should be pointing downwards.
The engineering on the suspension looks really high quality, but I still think that front end is well fugly. Dash looks a bit 'kit car' too. Would have been nicer if it had all white dials to match.
