Classic Cars and Coffee - 5 February 2023


The first Classic Cars and Coffee event for 2023 was almost as big as the New Year's Eve event. NYE is always the biggest event of the year.

This time I got myself up early and arrived at the official start time of 8.30am. The main carpark was already full by that time so I had to park in the overflow. One good thing about the overflow carpark is shade - it's almost entirely shaded by trees, which was very important on such a hot day. The DKW drove really well but suffered from vapour lock on the way home.

A big beast of a Bentley.
