Lovely stuff. 

 

Does anyone know of any more of these places? Would love to join one but I'm nowhere near the north east. 

 

Lots of heritage railways dotted about so I'm surprised heritage car places aren't more common.

Been going years that, you rent a bay for a few hundred a month. Can imagine it would be great with the right folks, less so with some idiot revving the tits off all night and annoying people.

IIRC there was a 'museum/restoration' co-op, in Newburn 🤔

the North East Restoration Club - they hold informal meets first wednesday of the month during the summer.

myself and various members of the dvee8 clan usually turn out, it’s a nice friendly event with a good selection of cars

It's a men's shed, but cars only. Start your own.
