Just been watching some US car meets , there are lots of them and they look insane, but why don't we have any. Also please add supercar events that you know are happening before the end of the year , bit low on event and meet. If you know about and cars and coffee meet near Berkshire,please tell me. Thanks.

What do you mean "why don't we have any"? You mean apart from Pistonheads meets, Goodwood Breakfast Club, Wilton Wake up, Bicester Scramble, Icons by the Lake and all the other events mentioned in this section (and others not)? There are loads of events in this country and especially in the South East.

OP, the Silverstone Sunday Service link should be dropped onto the site later this afternoon. Always a good meet and lots of nice metal on display if you fancy a drive up from Berkshire, there are generally a few convoys organised if you fancy a group arrival thumbup

There are a couple of meets actually called "Cars and Coffee", notable one is at the Museum of Power in Maldon. Attracts a few ferraris and the like, as well as some more mundane (and unusual) stuff.

I recently dabbled in Carrie Fisher waxworks and have managed to sell 50-60 of the iffy ones at similar events, so they can prove a good route to market if you have CF waxworks that arent perhaps a 100% likeness.

Yes they do but Brooklands Breakfast meets are not free.
Goodwood is free and so is Wilton Wake up. I know the Breakfast meets at Brooklands are good and if you get there early enough entrance fee includes your Bacon sandwich.

I have noticed though over the last couple of years that lots of events are not being posted up in the Events Meetings Travel section (or if they are, they are not being bumped up nearer the time) I have missed a few because of this frown

I would have loved to do something this morning but could not see anything advertised?

You missed the Autumn Motorsport Day at Brooklands. My impression was that it was not quite as busy as in previous years. Various building works around the site didn't limit activities too much. Weather being sunny and dry helped as well.
