Having Youtube'd the Cars and Coffee meets in the US enough times it got me wondering...

Would there be any interest in a monthly or bi-monthly Sunday morning meet at the Costa on J16 M4? If not all year round (I can see some reluctance in turning out early in the depths of winter!) then perhaps between say March and September?

Not sure what time they open but I am presuming it must be early.

After a coffee and a bit of tyre kicking those who are so inclined could then go off for a drive?

Me too - it would be better more frequently to allow more people to come - I haven't been able to make any so far!

Good feedback so far.

That particular Costa is open from 7.00am on a Sunday.

Let's try a monthly arrangement to begin with and go for, say, the second Sunday of the month.

That will make our first meet the 14th August which should have allowed many to have got their holidays out of the way.

As for a time we can see how we go but for the 14th let's say from 9.00 am. If we need to push it back or even bring it forward we can adjust accordingly.

No need for a list just turn up, or not, as the mood, weather, hang-over etc takes you...

Happy?

You could be right Lucky.

I cannot do the 7th but can do the 21st.

Alternatively, and both to get us started, make the most of the weather and allow for the other commitments that people may already have we could go for the 1st and 3rd weekends for August and Sept?

Conscious as well that I still haven't responded to your e-mail.

Will aim to do so soon.

Looks then like we'll start by trying the 1st and 3rd of each month starting next Sunday at 9.00.

Sorry I cannot be there but should be ok for the 21st.
