Is caffeine & Machine just a coffee shop? I know there is an auto shop attached to it, do people actually take their car there to get it fixed, and if so, is it for all kinds of cars or specialises in certain models of cars?

It's a pub/bar/coffee shop/restaurant which is packed with exotica and interesting cars in the large car parking areas on sunny days, they do Sunday roasts, hog roasts etc, and the inside and outside is automotive themed with cars on display and automotive themed art and so on.

Very nice atmosphere, good food, reasonable prices, good setting.

I recommend you look it up on their website and check the #caffeineandmachine tag on Instagram. :)

I’ve looked it up already, I just want to make sure what I am thinking is what it is and whether it’s worth the effort from where I am on the off chance to see some nice cars. Guess I’m just trying to justify it in my head.
 
It's been a lovely few days to get out and about, its also hard to think that little car is now just over 4 years old as it only seems like yesterday I collected it.

No real need for a separate thread here as I'm not an ego maniac, but here is my new (to me) CryptoRover.

HSE Discovery 5 in Loire Blue

Fading light after its first wash. Hopefully get some sun pop pictures tomorrow to do the colour some justice.

Obligatory S6 Avant pic too for anyone who cares

It's a pub which is automotive based, they've got a fairly large Tipi in the garden too which offers different forms of food, usually burgers and the like, or you can order for table service and proper grub.

There is a garage, string theory attached to it, I feel it's still quite infantile, specialises in the four things that touch the ground as far as I'm aware.

I go quite a bit, it's a great little place, went on Saturday and was fairly local today so popped in on my way through.

Nice, be interested to see what the new Portofino blue is as Loire really needs strong sun to pop so not tell any good for the UK.

Didn’t expect you to go for a product from a “failing company” though?
 
Top down.. late evening.. it's great fun.

I used to enjoy doing that when I had mine, these are still one of the most fun cars I've ever driven!

A few from a recent meet. I took mine to Lake Taupo at the weekend, I got rid of the small rear plate too;

It's the jaguar part of JLR that lets the brand down for me. Trying too hard. Land rover has always performed as a brand in terms of what they set out to achieve, not always reliable, but excellent at what its meant to do.

You've got to work the colour hard to get it to pop. The preference was actually Namib orange but couldn't find one with trim colour options and sensible price

They're awesome! haven't had as much fun in a car before, does beg you to trash it everywhere! hard to drive it sensibly to be honest.

R8 looks lovely! not as good as @Housey Polo GTR but not far off.
 
Let my buddy drive the Volvo. Strange letting someone else drive your car! Can't wait to get a tune slung on it for another 40~bhp and 40~lb/ft
