Good to meet you guys. Thanks for the compliments on the car - it was cool to see four very different Ariels :D

First visit to Caffeine & Machine and won't be the last - great food, great cars, great company! Caught a little bit of rain back in Bristol but needed sun cream for the majority of the day :tu:

Unfortunately I couldn’t make it today as I caught COVID. Bummer. Well in myself, but have to isolate. Weather was good by me as well, only 30 mins from C&M. Thought of you lot at midday.
Next time.

Yeah we will get another group run to C&M sometime.

If anyone is going, 2 or 3 cars, put it here on the forum and invite others, and some will join you. The largest group of Ariels Ive seen at C&M was 15 cars at the 2019 run

I looked out 10 minutes before it was time for me to head off to Peartree and it was heavy rain... Took the decision not to come. It rained for a further 10 minutes and then the sun was out all day. I'll be along to the next one.

I'm gutted, took the decision when you were at Pear Tree to cry off, 5 minutes later the sun comes out and roads dry, I should have just got on with it, glad at least a few were there, [mention]Preseh[/mention] car looks awesome, love the springs and brake calipers, would also have loved to have seen the Nomad R ...

Wonderful day. Great drive. Lovely to meet [mention]Preseh[/mention] @[mention]Valey80[/mention] and of course [mention]GraemeW[/mention] .
Even the food was good.
I was gobsmacked by the Atom R as was everyone at the pub.
And Preseh's is pretty much the perfect atom to have.

Love the Magenta on the 4. Also think the "R" colour scheme looks great. Are the "R" wheels standard 18"s?

And yes, I will have to arrange a meet up some time with you guys.

Rumours of rain were greatly exaggerated. Not a drop the whole way. The sun even came out at C&M. This usually happens when I take the trouble to get full waterproofs on from socks to neck gaiter. Then it stays dry.

More of you should have come out to play. Hindsight and all that. I don’t blame you, I nearly pulled out when I saw the forecasts.

It was a great day out. We managed 4 cars in the end. Thanks to Preseh, Sommi, Valey80 for coming along. Good to meet some new owners. I even got to see my first Nomad R.

Ok. Been scanning the weather. As usual all the forecasters say something different. But there’s consensus that the area around C&M will be dry and also those from the west.

Been out walking the dog. Some standing water but it’s drying. Light rain forecast en route for me but I’ll head out and meet the 4 or so cars I think will be at Pear Tree. Take your waterproofs. See u later

I'm still up for it unless it's biblical but will probably head straight there from Bristol instead of meeting at the services 👍🤞

Unless it buckets down like mad I will meet at Peartree Services as discussed.

I’m still good but also only 30 mins away from C&M
