Gloucestershire Meet

[Adey.]

So there's a fair few members in Gloucestershire, who's in for a small meet up?

Any ideas on where? also when, maybe a late afternoon or evening?

 

[Ex-User (99307)]

I'll pop up for one. Probably bring the cup though, 21mpg is no fun.

I raise your 21mpg with a 197 with over fuelling issues.

 

[RustyMojo]

I’ll be there dude. Unsure where mind... Caffeine and Machine probably a bit for for you south Gloucestershire folk. Either way regardless of location I’ll be there

 

[KitsonRis]

The one place that comes to mind is Gloucester Services. Well easy to get to for all.
Unless a little further afield....Forest somewhere?

From Gloucester it is about an hour if done have to go through traffic.

 

[Adey.]

Gloucester services could be a good shout actually, decent space, easy access for most

 

[KitsonRis]

Just need to make sure we all go to the same one

 

[RustyMojo]

Or what about somewhere like Beachenhurst lodge in FoD? Proper nice roads around there. Could grab a coffee and plenty of parking

 

[VenomUK]

What is the cars and coffee place I hear about that's behind Morrisons Metz way?

Oily Rag, been there a few times, decent space and a coffee shop. Nice and central for people. Im game for that

 

[Ads29]

When you thinking @Adeyspec? Need to get a clio back pronto

 

[Kenich.]

I am probably only an hour away from the oily rag on a good run if you decide that spot!

 

[Ben Cook]

Would be interested depending on day & times. Oily Rag is 40mins from me.

 

[Adey.]

not in Gloucester itself but I am heading up to caffeine and machine on Friday eve if anyone fancies it https://helmtickets.com/events/7099/caffeinemachine-friday-sundowners?iframe=1&d=1&op=1&slot=18134

 

[Kenich.]

I won't be there this Friday eve, but intend going there this summer for sure!

 

[Ads29]

Can't do Friday either but I'd definitely be up for a C&M run in a few weeks time

 

[nicked95]

I'm literally 5 minutes down the road from C&M, so up for a little meet there (can't do this Friday though )

 

[RustyMojo]

Any of the Gloucestershire guys fancy the Cliosport Caffeine and machine day/morning on the 24th July?

Caffeine & Machine Meet Up 2021

Hi After a few chats & posts on here,a small group of us are interested in doing a forum meet up at Caffeine & Machine this July. You can either meet up at Caffeine & Machine on your own way or sort a region meet & drive up together in your region group,But this will have to be arranged by a...

Meet up and convoy over?

 

[Kenich.]

Oh I am tempted! I would go up through the Cotswolds, not sure if that is the way you would go? Be like Burton on the water, Stow on the Wold etc...

 

[RustyMojo]

Well I live north Gloucestershire so the fastest route for me is the A46, I’m the Stratford side if that makes sense. However I’m happy to meet up if we convoy with a few of us!

 

[Kenich.]

I have booked up - I will sort my route nearer the time. Being anal motorway might work better against bug splatter than B road blasting (as fun as that would be).

 

[RustyMojo]

Well let us know mate. I’m pretty happy to travel around the shire if there are a few of us that end up making the journey from Gloucestershire sort of area

 

[Adey.]

ill have to confirm closer to the time but could well be up for c&m

 

[RustyMojo]

Are none of the Yorkshire monkeys not fancy a drive down to the tropical part of the country? @Romanian Tyre Fitter are you and the crew not up for a 5hr drive for sold cold expensive chicken and chips?

Oh that’s lovely! You’d get some sun on your back down here whilst you are trying to insert you grubby mits up your own anus!

You're joking, its been over 20⁰C up here all week

And I haven't felt like I was going to have my ear turned into a cabbage by an awful accent

Awful accent?? We speak the queens down ere ol’butt

Aye exactly, simply awful

This has been gaining some traction over the past few months. They don't seem to promote it very well but I've seen plenty of people posting their cars at the location and never looked into it. A couple of us are going this Sunday if anyone in the local area is interested in attending. I'm not taking the Clio as it's not been taxed this month. Malcolm (Clio Williams) is taking his GR Yaris. Be good to see a few of the locals if you're free and at a loose end? The monthly car meets every 3rd Sunday. All cars welcome. Come and meet like minded petrol heads over a coffee and breakfast roll.

I went a few days before Xmas. It was a lovely little meet with retros. Though its not the biggest, I had no where to park when I arrived and getting a drink took forever.

Maybe when it grows it would be good, but they really struggled to accommodate the cars on the meet I went to.

 

[Ex-User (99307)]

What's the approach like? Mega low cars ok?

I’ve never heard of it…. My clio is currently in bits and I’m not sure a diesel Mercedes’ is the petrol heads dream. Plus clio isn’t taxed at present. Deffo be up for some local meets in the future though. Probably the spring now for me

 

[Kenich.]

Yeah at the front section it will be fine. Going down into the gravel park you might have issues, but think it was ok. I had to park up on the road as full up by 10.30 so didn't really judge the driving heights lol

Bloke from the village at work told me about it. my Kangoo isn't going to set the place on fire either so I doubt you'd be out of place in the merc

This could be a good venue for locals in the summer. I'll be getting there for 9 so the Roo can have pride of place

Absolutely. Summer meets sound great. Wonder if they do any weekday evening events?

Sounds like one to avoid for me then, V6 bumpers are a bit expensive.

I'd imagine as things get better then they will do more things.

Went to the Boho Bakery meet this morning and I'm very impressed, you can tell that it's very fresh and is still trying to find its feet but I can see some good things coming from this and it's on our doorstep. The barn is nicely done out and the food and coffee were very nice. A lovely spot to meet and gather was talking to the owner and his plans on expanding which is very much a work in progress and these monthly meets are to generate some income to redevelop the surrounding area and help the business idea grow.

At the start, it felt very C&M of old with people coming and going. They have had group meets there in the past which is nice to know the Clios won't get shunned lol. Overall the I went with were all very impressed and have already suggested we do more regular things in the evening there once they open up more.

As for the drive in and out, I wouldn't worry about anything that's low low, I couldn't see any reason why anything low would struggle to get in and out of here.

Top feedback mate. I’m bang up for some local meets there. Especially summer evening! Drive outs!
