I popped along to a cafe meet by idriveaclassic

[akku]

I was down for the first of the idriveaclassic YouTube channel's meets last Saturday, it was nice, a small venue and plenty of cars popping in and out. Some interesting ones. Here's a selection.



A couple of CVT ckassics...









The Daf is a proper rally car, apparently.

Lovely stuff there.

I guess merchandise is the way to go for spreading the word.

For some reason, I have a strong itch to get something like this.  The actual experience may not live up to the expectation, however I've always liked Renault 4s, especially the earlier ones where there is less plastic.  Similar in concept to a Morris Minor (having had one as my first car, I do want another), but with much better luggage capacity for other things, like bits of old boat*.  I doubt that my twin 10 year old daughters will appreciate being driven to school in it though!

I fancied doing this, but a very last minute (read 3 days before) family request for us all to meet-up left this plan in tatters. It looks like it was a good day out.

How busy was it and how many folks were there?

However, I may do Furious Driving’s one, in addition to maybe doing an RRG, and/or CCA write up on here.

I cannot currently imagine a situation where I'd have a car clean enough to put clothes on.

I scratched that itch with my Ami and, to give it full due, it was completely rubbish at most things. I probably should have got a silly old Renault instead of a silly old Citroen.

As do I! I catch myself regularly browsing Facebook marketplace in France and Spain,but prices are shooting up for them.
