It's on my doorstep, but won't be coming if they are still charging £10 to park your car there! Absolute nonsense!

Its one of the coolest places to visit if you are a car enthusiast, can easily lose a day there, from the sublime to the most ridiculous cars to walk around and admire, fantastic food, stunning art work. Its not like being charged £10 to park at your locals Tesco, go on live a little and stump up a tenner, you never know you might enjoy yourself |

Afaik, it’s a fiver to park on Saturday’s and Sundays due to volume and you get a drink thrown in with the entrance fee. I live near the place (30 mins away), weekdays are the best time to go but that’s little use 😂😂😂 for a regular club meet.

Caffeine & Machine is a lovely place...but sadly the establishment aren't 'into' Volvo's despite what their ethos is. Definitely worth a visit as a car enthusiast to marvel at the wonderful machines parked outside and to eat/drink and soak up the atmosphere....just don't expect anyone to be pouring over and admiring your Volvo whilst parked around the rear with the rest of the undesirables lol
Been there four times....not sure there'll be a fifth visit. |

Guess it depends on the day It’s so much more than a coffee shop that people keep saying. Eclectic machines and wonderful car enthusiasts of a very open mind |

I messaged c&m regarding a volvo/Swedish only meeting to which they said it would be a monday/Tuesday due to it not been that busy during the Week but that would only really work if your local, Saturday was a no go as they seem to want to cater for everyone which is understandable.
I was just thinking of selecting a day/date and then getting everyone to book themselves in and turning up. Even if it ment all having to park at the back or have everyone scattered around. |

Thanks for reaching out to C&M and getting the comms going Foggy. My gut tells me that a Mon/Tues will have a low turnout and it's not worth putting in the effort to organise (although I am up for it as I live close by if anyone else is).
Personally I'm happy to pay the entry fee for a Saturday and gather with the fleet at the back - a round of drinks costs me a lot more haha! Maybe we could even get a video of all the cars driving out together in convoy fashion at the end I'm well up for car shows again! It's been too long! Thoughts? |
