The Avenue Car Club.
Second Sunday of each month. Queen Square, Bristol. More here. (http://www.avenuedriversclub.co.uk/index.html)
Car porn of all ages! Could become a regular local opportunity for a Smart meet!
The Avenue Cafe, unfortunately, has gone, but excellent, reasonably-priced breakfasts, recommended at Che'z Cafe, very close by.

i'm game big time for that one!!
i've dropped them an email as i wouldn't want us flooding them with forfours...
who else??
JJ

Hmm. Recognise the Saab and driver there ;)

Sounds odd, but i might pass the info along to my family in Bristol to take my Grandfather to have a walk around when there's a meet on! He would love the classics, he was a mechanical engineer and a draftsman for Rolls Royce in Bristol (worked on designing concorde) and a very keen car enthusiast, rebuilding and maintaining many classics in his time. He's in his mid 90s now but still nice and active so a short walk around somewhere like that would do him good and bring back memories.
I had a look through the photos and i am amazed, looks like an incredible meet, more like a car show!
If we do pop by when its on, I may try bring him along! My mother's side of my Family is from Bristol area so lots of people to see and stay with :)
-
He'd enjoy it! Plenty of park benches, if need be.
A couple of my neighbours worked on Concorde, too.
-
if he needs a lift or chaperone then just let me know..
JJ
-
Maybe when we get back! As long as they let VW's in that is as our current 'family' car is a 1.8t beetle :)
Kate

JJ

We are planning to be there, with the ForFour, at least!
-

We are planning to attend at Bristol's Cenotaph, too, which is a short walk away.
-

JJ

G - drop me a line to let me know what your plans are!
Z - my BRAB is the one with the stupid orange roof!!!
JJ
-
Saw your Brabus there, and we had a good look around - twice, us and the GWS posse!
Unfortunately no-one was with your vehicle, to introduce ourselves.
-

I had a bright orange jacket on - had a good wander/chat and breakfast panini ;)

Yes, that's Mrs Zap's ForFour!
She loves the picture! We were there for 9am had a look around, went to Che's for a coffee, then a second and third lookaround, before off to the Cenotaph for the Remembrance Service. When we returned, you had gone, so the posse of six consoled themselves with a Big Breakfast back at Che's. ;)

oh well - apologies!
i felt a bit of a fraud with the forfour there - not exactly in keeping with the other cars there! hopefully i will be allowed to return in December!

TBH, JJ, there's usually a good mix of old and new. I guess the owners of the newer ones were out Christmas shopping ;D (or feared that the Square might be swamped, this morning, due to the local service.)
-
Missed a couple of motors that I snapped....

That Morris 1000 was stunning - the interior, although reupholstered, was superbly done, too. Always had a soft spot for P6's, too. Not seen that example before.
I think next time, as there won't be other activities in the area, and the meet will revert to normal, Christmas shopping, no doubt, excepted, we'll be with our vehicles!
(The Remembrance ceremony was moving - a young sergeant directly in front of us was in tears.)

popped down today and we were luckily graced with a bit of sun before heading up to the Avon Gorge for a Penny Brohn charity abseil ....
