Default Regular Midlands meet - Caffein & Machine

I’ve been going to C&M regularly now and always have an awesome time due to the calibre of the ever-evolving car park. I went yesterday and parked my 850R next to it’s ancestor. It got me thinking, why don’t we have a bi-monthly/quarterly get together for those of us in the Midlands? All Volvo’s welcome of course (particularly 850’s).

It’s an awesome informal location to meet and chat to like minded people, which allows social distancing measures followed. It made me feel really good as I’d not been to a ‘car event’ for months (it wasn’t even a car event).

This may already be happening but I’m not aware of it as I’m not on Facebook. Thoughts? Ideas? It would be something I’d look forward to

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

only certain events you will have to pay, i bet you are fun at a party arent you!!

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.
