Car Café returns for the second event of 2015!

Car Café is a great car meet based in Nottingham. It's now been running for two consecutive years and has the involvement of several local clubs.

As always there’ll be a massive selection of metal from Fords to Ferraris. Special guests at our most recent event included the Aston Martin Vantage GTE Racing Car, a Ford GT and a trio of classic E-Types.

It gets bigger and better every year, and our most recent event on 04/04/15 saw well over 200 cars! However, with your help we'd love to make it even bigger. Bring your cherished motors, your beloved cars and come and join us for a true morning of metal.

There’s no guest list, nowhere to sign up, just turn up on the day! We’ll be there, rain or shine.

Best of all there’s a FREE breakfast sandwich and tea/coffee refills available throughout the morning.

Our next event for 2015 is Saturday, May 2nd, at:

Neway House,
Little Oak Drive,
Annesley,
Nottingham,
NG15 0DR

It starts bright and early at 8.30am and finishes at 10:30am, so you can be away early for other weekend commitments.
Hope to see you there!

Seeing as it's literally around the corner from us, we'll probably be there again in the Bentley (and Chim if it's back from being fixed) smile

Good to hear. It's looking like it's going to be a really good morning!

Ditto - it's so close it'd be rude not to. Need to sort an extended route home wink. See you there again.

Just a suggestion for next time - get it posted a little earlier as you had very little exposure for this one!

To be fair there's at least half a dozen threads on here about it, it's consistently the 1st Saturday morning of the month during summer for the 2nd year now, the posters say all the dates, and the car park was full of exotica so I'd say they are doing an excellent job wink

If I'm back up Leicester way I'll definitely pop over - if the weather is good!

Would have been a lovely morning last week had it not been so bloody cold!

Well worth a trip, Saturday was probably the best selection of top end cars I've seen there, and free breakfast. smile

Our favourite:



There's a write up on May's meet with lots of quality pics on my website which I am not allowed to link to or the PH Mods will have me electronically tagged and placed under curfew. Or something.
Another great snap!

There is a thread going for our next event on June 6th, we hope you can all make it! Let us know if there are any cars you'd like to see there in particular.
