5. Regional rides and Cars & Coffee meetings
In addition to the large multi-day festivals, dozens of local rides and informal gatherings take place throughout September:

Bringing your passion for cars into your home
Visiting these kinds of events provides a lot of inspiration. Many enthusiasts bring home new miniatures, scale models, or building sets from fairs and meetings to expand their own collection.
To neatly display all those scale models, F1 cars, and LEGO Technic sets at home, Boldons has developed various brackets and stands. With our wall brackets, you can securely hang larger models on the wall, while display rails and angled stands ensure that your display cabinet or dresser remains organized.
