Title: Caffeine and Machine (Warwickshire) meet - Sun 1st Aug
Post by: ianmb on 07 May 2021, 10:15
Would anybody be interested in meeting up at Caffeine and Machine on Sun August 1st 12.30 - 1530 (you book your ‘slot’ tickets on the website).The food is good for lunch, the yard is good for a meet up and always more interesting cars to look at too. Saw the R Owners Club there last week so this has inspired me

It’s an old petrolhead themed farmhouse in Warwickshire that has been turned into a pub/cafe with loads of outdoor space for car meets. At a weekend the place is packed up with all types of car/bikes (a classier version of Ace Cafe in London). Lots of car clubs meet there, so thought it would be good to meet as a group.
If you go to the website menu and click ‘book with us’ and then ‘car park and events’, you will be able to book a slot for at a weekend. Slots are £10 per car. The slot that I’ve suggested to meet at is Sun 1st August from 12:30

Booked and bump.  C&M is around 7 miles from Stratford on Avon, 9 miles from Warwick and 12 miles to Stow and the Cotswolds so perfectly placed as a stop off for a day spent touring Shakespeare's middle England and, most importantly, some seriously good A and B roads.

Thanks all for your responses so far.
I’d recommend to buy your tickets ASAP to avoid disappointment because they go on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.
Please remember the slot is for 12:30-15:30 for our meet... let me know in here when you’ve booked so I get an idea for confirmed numbers as the time rolls around.

I’ll arrange and communicate a meeting point near C&M so that we can all arrive and park together 👍

I also have a few other friends and family members in other Golf/Up GTI’s who will be with us too so hopefully have a nice small crowd of cars and people

Am up there on Sunday 30th for breakfast as in the area - its grown a bit since first went there when used to be able to wander in on a Sat and just park at front but its a good vibe and good luck to them for expanding the brand so well.

Edit: As we stand now, good for August 1st, and have booked ticket  :smiley:

I was up there Sunday, glorious day, and a few nice motors, a pair of immaculate Red Classic Escort Mexico and Escort RS1600 plus a really nice pristine R32 in Silver.

The other VW representatives was a nicely modded Red MK 7 GTI and a nicely modded MK 7.5 Lapiz Blue R with Orange Calipers

There was a McClaren Aston Martin, Lotus 2-11 and Ferrari but its funny that these do not get the attention, its more the classics

My favourite there was a beautifully modded RX-7

But decent brekkie, cars and sunshine, what more could wish for :) See you there on 1st August

I'm booked.

We did the last StrassenKultur evening and there were a good selection of GTI's / GTD's, white with black being a fairly popular colour scheme for all ages  :wink:

Hi all,

Looking as though the weather is set to hold for Sunday so fingers crossed.

The ticket for our slot is valid from 12:30, so me and some others will be getting there at that time exactly (if you see 2 white Golf GTI’s and a white Up GTI then one of them is me!)

I imagine it will be busy so this may be slightly tricky but if we aim to (once in C&M) drive past the house on to your right until the grassed area on the left at the end. We will try and park in the middle/back of this together where there is most space.

See you Sunday

We there tomorrow also, so will see if can get there in time to grab space with others - we still doing the social distancing to a fashion as we have couple of vulnerable in our care so it’s not us being rude if keeping some space  :smiley: look forward to seeing some GTI Forum representation at the C&M

Nice to see the cars guys. Don't believe I managed to speak to any of you, didn't manage to get there until 2pm. Good Afternoon nonetheless.

Was gutted to have missed this (as even bought the car park pass ages ago) but work and then the heavens opening this way foiled the plans. Looks like a nice turnout though.

Good to meet a few of you, as expected a thoroughly decent sort which this forum has always had at its core, and so and nice to see a 'gaggle' of GTI at the back of C&M representing the forum :)

Hopefully Stamford will be on next year, as we can widen the participation including many of the MK 7 guys/girls who are now in MK 8 rides.
