Took forever to get a coffee though, not sure why they can only make a single drink at a time... 🤣 I thought they'd employed another "barrista", but I guess not! Quote

Paul Baker Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 Cracking afternoon for a decent run out. Followed a good recommendation and drove up to AV8 Cafe at Cotswold Airport, seems to be a bit of a gathering point for nice cars and bikes. And some big and small flying machines of course…. 7 Quote

It's not bad is it Paul? I wish they'd start opening on Sundays again, used to be the best day. Great roads there and back too. Quote
Paul Baker Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 Yes a great place, quite busy up there today as it looked like a bikers meet was happening. A nice GT3 came and parked next to me after I took that pic, some nice machinery up there to look at. I reckon an ideal destination/waypoint for some good blats… Quote
DIY-Si Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 A short notice trip to the Triumph Factory in Hinckley this morning for a Collecting Cars event. There was loads to see, with much more variety than I had expected. I even spotted a Westy hiding in the outer carpark too. The only negative thing about the whole trip was that I suspect it was more popular than the factory expected, and they'd run out of bacon by the time I wanted a bacon roll. A vegan sausage roll and a pastie just didn't cut it! I couldn't miss taking this photo, for the sense of scale if nothing else! A very full inner carpark, with the outer ones filling quickly. Opposite ends of the BMZ Z car scale. Some Old Skool Fords. Its always good to see GT40s! Really surprised to see not one, but two, Stratos reps appear together. 9 Quote

The experience section was open too, and free to wander round, as it's essentially a mini-Triumph museum. The factory tours were on too, but we didn't do that so I can't say if it's any good or not 1 Quote

Always a good sign of a place to meet and have a coffee etc Quote
