We should definitely, I'm going to have to finish my winter upgrade work first and get it taxed  ... plus not a massive fan of wet n cold weather, I like to get some heat in my tyres (and bones)  :getmecoat:

Sounds like a good idea - not sure where there's a suitable cafe, there's Jack Hills on the A5 but not the best drive tbh. A village pub might be an idea when the weather improves.

 

The A5199 is the Welford Road, runs from Leicester to Northampton. I think it's a great driving road and runs 2 miles from my house!

They do have a regular meet at the waterpark, like the last Tuesday of the month or something like ... the main Bosworth park has the alligator teeth on the car park exit which are not Westfield friendly  :d

 

But agree with The Rocker, the roads are great around Bosworth - can't beat that fresh smell of much spreading .. we should do something 'local' when the weather bucks up a bit and I've got the car back together ....

I was thinking sooner maybe ....even if it was just a sunday morning for a coffee in a tintop?

 

the A5199 was a nice drive the other night. but the bimmers xenons are woeful and I don't know what the police/camera situation around here is like yet so didn't want to push too hard.

The good news is there are hardly any speed cameras! The police use mobile units but we very rarely see them these days, probably down to budget cuts.

 

I'd be up for a meet sooner, just got to get the car first. I  was thinking that most large garden centres have a car park and a cafe, may be we could consider one of them. Wistow Rural Centre is a cool place to visit. It's got a cafe, garden centre, farm shop and a few little independent shops to look around.

 

I've got my brothers Morris Minor out of my lockup so I think I'll collect the Westie next weekend.

We went to a few of the Tuesday evening meetings at Bosworth Water Park last year, lots of great classic cars there but very busy!

My Westfield was delivered this morning! It looks great with it's new wheels. It was a lovely sunny afternoon and it's a shame I didn't have time to drive it. Hopefully we'll have a nice weekend. A massive 'thank you' to Andrew at Toybox Cars - a pleasure to deal with.
