12.05.19 – Petrolicious Drivers Meeting at Bicester Heritage
Last weekend the first edition Petrolicious Drivers Meeting took place at Bicester Heritage in Oxfordshire, UK. As well as being the best preserved ex-military airbase in Britain, the site is also known for holding their regular Sunday Scramble car shows alongside many more car related events.
The site found its first military use in 1916, when the Royal Flying Corps used the airfield as a training depot. Over the following ten years, it was developed into a bomber station and during World War II the site was used for training of all sorts of military piloting. In 2013, Bicester Heritage became the first centre for historic motoring in the UK and has been an important hub for automotive fanatics ever since.
With beautifully restored buildings and over 420 acres of land, the former RAF bomber station is the ultimate meetup spot for motoring enthusiasts, so it is hardly surprising that Petrolicious chose this to be the location of their first driver’s meeting. What better location could complement Petrolicious’s well known slogan ‘Drive Tastefully’? As one of the top online providers of high-quality visual content based around classic motoring, Petrolicious is an important multi-platform content provider for old and young timers alike. As well as publishing videos on their youtube channel and images on social media, their website has some of the most interesting and well informed articles on motoring and even their own marketplace where they sell classic cars!
But for now, enough with the text; it’s time to show some photos!
Naturally, the day began in the carpark. This, however, was no ordinary carpark. It had such a spectacular variety of old-timers driven by other visitors that before even making it to the main venue I stayed in the carpark for over an hour and a half! Take a look for yourself.
