South west Breakfast club AV8 cafe

[Vantage man]

Hi there as far as I know the cafe is open on the 29th, just checking with them.

[jason900]

[yorkieboy]

I'll be there aswell hopefully

[Huff]

Can't make it - away in the Northern Wastes visiting Nogbad the Bad.

I have already spoken to the AV8 and they are open on the 29th as I am taking my own car club there for breakfast.

We are an eclectic mix from 911's to Austin 7's, probably about 5 to 10 cars in total. I suspect we have to spread out into the back car park

See you there

[Vantage man]

Hi there, hope everyone had a good Christmas. Thoughts now turn back to petrol ! I know the weather is not good but hope we have a good turn out for the last breakfast club of the year. See you all Sunday !

That's OK. I can stay nice and dry(ish) in my car!! Merry Humbug and all that.

I have a roof and a heater too. So barring deep floods I should be there

Sorry folks. Just arrived home to discover neighbour's apple tree fallen right across my drive.

Berlingo is on the correct side, Scimitar is not... Whilst I could come in the Citroen, it does defy the point somewhat and will eat into valuable chainsaw-wielding time as other vehicles need to exit later on also.

Bum holes....

Apple Tango?



Or just a close call?

Thankfully my drive is rather long, and the tree is down on the lower section where we thankfully don't park anything.

On reflection - I'm coming Berlingual. I have my special insult-resistant trousers on!!

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!

I was waiting for the growl of the V6 as a signal to start the Spyder.

[JDs Paul]

Well we did set off, but decided to turn back shortly after hitting the A46 as the car was behaving like Bambi on skates. Seeing a Land Rover which had recently wedged itself into a hedge seemed like the decider. That and Tuscman reporting an interesting time in the Subaru.

[TorqueVR]

Me and Yorkieboy got as far and Chipping Sodbury and chickened out and had breakfast in the High Street. We couldn't keep the cars in a straight line!

Had nice breakfest bit icey in pop but ok

Not surprised at all Paul, I think the main topic of the morning was how may slides we all had on the way up. Hope everyone got home safely.

A few pics

Nice bunch - glad I wobbled up in the 'Lingo!

Drive has now been de-treed so Tango back on the road.

Hope to see lots of you New Years Day.

It was good to see a good mix of cars there. I was happy to follow my mate in his Austin 7 for the journey there.... We didn't get above 45 :-) quite quick enough in the ice! I had lessons in understeer and oversteer from him with his 10.5 hp!

Quite how the drag racing Pop, or the Roadrunner where on the ice I hate to think!

[Pro street pop]

Pop was ok on ice limited slip stops him spinning on ice bit scarey from glos tho

Is this happening this month as its been a long time since I've attended one and have a 7 yr old that has a birthday on this Sunday who loves his cars , so thought I'd bring him along .
Maybe if possible could wangle a short trip out in a high end sports car as a birthday treat .
