Aircooled Night at Caffeine & Machine: September 2022

Chris from our Trade Team, and Andy (that's me) were out on the road last week visiting customers and managed to squeeze a trip to the mechanical Mecca that is best known as Caffeine & Machine at the same time. As luck would have it, it was also Aircooled Appreciation Society night, which was handy! Check out the pics below. 

What Is Caffeine & Machine? 

C&M is a destination for fans of all things automotive. It's a bar, a coffee shop, a restaurant, a place to stay, and offers a huge parking area for anything with wheels. Located just outside of Stratford-Upon-Avon it attracts motorists from all over the country with their anything goes #cultofmachine ethos.  I was fortunate to get the full story from founder Phil McGovern when I interviewed him a few years back. You can watch it back here. Now, on with the pics...

Catching Up ith Frank

We didn't have any expectations of who we might see when we pulled into the yard but spotted one of our regulars from Heretics enjoying the atmosphere and later caught up with Porsche collector and Oilcooled / Megaphonics show organiser Frank Cassidy. He was there in his stunning black 356 Outlaw, a car Chris very much wished he was driving home!

Not Just Aircooled

Whilst the theme for the evening was aircooled, anyone could buy a ticket and turn up. We spotted this lovely Mk2 Golf in one of the car parking areas. 

Al Fresco Dining

Being the end of September, the sunset came along pretty quickly, and it soon got cold too. For those of a hardier (or more sensible nature) a table by the patio heaters, or within the giant teepee would have kept the shivers at bay a little longer! Food can be ordered online via a QR code on each table and arrived with us before too long: it was tasty too! 

Bug Spotting

We found a few Beetles dotted around the Caffeine & Machine yard. 

Porsche Aplenty

Despite the drop in degrees, there was a reasonable showing of classic Stuttgart sportscars for a school night, plus there were a few more modern Porsche in attendance too. 

More?!

Alright then...

Want to get along to Caffeine & Machine? Check out their calendar here. Some events are ticket only, but most daytimes are a free-for-all to park up and enjoy what is on offer. We look forward to returning again, perhaps when the nights are a little longer and warmer.
