Car Meet - St Neots - Saturday 6 Feb @ 10am
Discussion
Following on from this thread: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
As per 'I Am Milk's suggestion, a bunch of PHers and likeminded petrolheads have organised a little car meet in St Neots at Riverside Car Park, 10am this Saturday. This is the first meet and we'll gauge interest levels and decide whether to keep it Saturdays or switch to Sundays, and make the meet the first Sat or Sun of each month.

The Ambiance Cafe in the same car park cafe serves coffee, snacks, lunch etc, open from 9am. If your car is ultra low you will need to be careful coming up into the carpark as there is a slope, but it's no problem for a Ferrari 360/430 to get in and out.
It is a P&D car park, 40p or 60p an hour I think, so bring some change.
All are welcome no matter what you drive.

I'll get along if the nephew fancies it - slowly getting into loving his cars, I'm sure seeing some rarer metal (and plastic) up close will only boost his enthusiasm. And I need some motivation to clean the car!

Of the two days this weekend early Feb, Sunday seems far better ?

I really like the sound of this meeting and when spring summer is here should be very nice, like someone else said in the other post 'Cars by the river'. Cafe owner will love the extra trade!

Really enjoyed the Carpool Steve, and i considered a Chim but the SLK55 won it for das German robustness and pure HP but if i could own both i would ! Also wanted a hardtop. V But i can fully appreciate the ownership experince of a TVR. Maybe one day.
Look forward to meeting you and the Chim someday. Judging by your username you must be on fairfield Park, i gew up in Stotfold. Such a small world.

As 'Cars and Coffee' seems to have become a specific 'brand' I wanted to use a different name, so "cars by the river" seemed more apt given the locationhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2638717

I'm hoping to run a larger event in the Regatta Meadow over the road during the summer, so it'd be nice to get things moving with a regular meet at the Riverside carpark, and as you say, the Ambience can only win from it (Their all-day breakfasts are pretty good)

It's the cheapest P&D carpark in town, but you can also pay via the app if you don't have changeIf we move to Sundays in the future, then parking is free, but I'm not sure if the Ambience cafe is open early on a Sunday (although I'm sure if demand is there, then they would)

Tomorrow's weather looks atrocious. It may be worth moving the meet to Sunday.
Agree on the weather though it does seem to change daily.If it moves to a Sunday then I won't be able to make any of them which would be a shame but happy to go with the majority.
Sunday would be my preferred day due to other things, but I think we're established enough on Saturday that it could just throw a spanner in the works for anyone who is fancying coming along but maybe isn't following the thread religiously
Stick to Saturday and take it from there for future meets?
