Hi All,

Apols if this has been discussed before.....

Now that the nice(ish) weather is here, I quite fancy taking my old Alfa along to a coffee and cars morning.

I tend to avoid the full on classic car shows as (as a participant) it's a full day commitment and I don't really have the time.

Cars and Coffee suits me better as I can get there early doors, get a brew, bacon roll, blether to other owners then head off.

These seem to be really poorly promoted online, probs all over fb but I find searching for specific things on fb a PIA.

Does any know of or recommend of cars and coffee events within a reasonable drive from the central belt?

Cheers!

Davie

The Tartan Tarmac breakfast meets used to be good but seemed to dry up. Maybe a victim of their own success?

Following with interest. Wife and daughter would be bored at a traditional car show so a breakfast meet fits the bill!

There's a monthly one in Inverness but that's perhaps a mile or two too far.

Bacon and Brakes at the Rhynd Cafe near Leuchars is good. 1st Sunday morning of the month.

We went along again this month, great turn out, lots of interesting cars and good coffee and rolls. Even had an autotest going on in the field.

Getting very busy these days though and I guess a risk it might become a victim of its own success

Scotland is really missing a 'motoring hub' for things like this.

Down south seem to have all the fun with Bicester Heritage, Goodwood, Caffeine & Machine etc.

Exactly this. They get more and more popular which makes them difficult to manage.

I completely forgot about the St.Mirren meet, the same was for Autobahn as the modified cars were ruining the public car meets.

Agree, I went in May also and it is not a patch on what it was. Far fewer nice cars and no real control over where you park. Coffee is good though.
