A great location with tonnes of parking on asphalt, 2 coffee machines running, the all important BACON and egg rolls (plus plenty of other good food options).

Roll up and check out the array of classic and vintage cars on display.. Hot Rods, classics, vintage, veteran , sports cars and more! 8am - 11am every last Sunday of the month Everyone is welcome, whether you bring your own classic car or just want to chat to fellow enthusiasts!
