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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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

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.

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:
