DR!VE Co: Summer Session

After 3 years of building a no ego car community, DR!VE Co brings you its flagship summer event - a curated morning of cars, coffee, and community set in the heart of the Brecon Beacons.

Hosted at Ignition Shed and sponsored by LOWE Classics, this is more than a typical cars & coffee. Expect a relaxed but premium atmosphere, a diverse mix of cars, and a community built on one simple idea - no egos, just the people and the desire to drive.

We’re also joined by internationally renowned automotive photographer Bart Kuykens, known for capturing some of the most iconic figures in car culture, including Jay Leno and Jay Kay, among many others. Bart will be hosting a live Q&A followed by a chance to get your book signed by the man himself!

Grab yourself a limited Premium Ticket and collect your favourite Bart book at the event. You will be benefiting from a DR!VE Co exclusive 60% discount on his select books, typically retailing at £130 but available for £55 within the Premium Ticket bundle.

While all cars are welcome, this is a perfect setting for retro cars, particularly from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s - the era that defines much of Bart’s work and photography style.

Following the morning session, we’ll head out on a short, scenic convoy across the Welsh hills.

Each participating car will receive a charity drive sticker, marking their contribution and place in the convoy.

And just for fun....

As far as we know, there’s no official record for the largest car convoy in Wales - so we’ll be setting the benchmark with this one. So come and be a part of the convoy with a small donation to charity.

We'll announce the chosen charity on the day!

To join the drive out, you can make a small donation on the day, and collect your DR!VE out sticker signifying your entry. For every car in the convoy, DR!VE Co will donate a further £5 per car.
