As the title suggests, anyone on hear from Abingdon/Oxford :grin:
I've seen a few nice Mk2's about, especially a awesome black G60 yesterday!
Are there any meets around this area, would be up for going to a few!
-
I'm from Didcot, there are a few others from Oxford and close by.
There is a VW meet in Abingdon once a month, I still have to go to one... but for the life of me I can never remember it! :laugh:
I was in Abingdon and drove past a house that had 3 MK2's :shocked: I wanted to go and knock on the door but the wife said I'd look like a weirdo... :embarassed:

Ahh nice one mate, yes meet is quite good so get yourself along to the next one! :cool:
Never seen a house with 3 MK2's outside and I live near the A34 as well?
Maybe you mean up by Peach Croft?
Where abouts does anyone work?
-
I work in Garsington, but we might be moving as we're expanding.
-
Looking on Google maps, it looks like I was on Oxford Road heading north and looking west there is another road running parallel with it where I noticed them.
-
yea mate, thats where i spotted them too, lol, wonder who they are?
I'm def planning to head to the next one!Hopefully my car will be sorted by then!
I graduated from Oxford Brookes last summer, i now have a job working for them as a Sound and AV engineer. Pretty cool job, get to play around with expensive kit etc. I was the sound engineer when John snow gave a lecture as he was stepping down as vice chancellor a few weeks ago, went out live on the BBC.
What does everyone else do? And one a mechanic :wink:

Yup that would be me, i hate leaving my car at the SU though, always seems to get covered in bird crap, lol! You go to Brooke's then?
We should organize a Ab/Ox trip up to Swindon for the next meet?
-

Yeah there's about 5 us on here that go to Brookes.
As for the Swindon meet, yeah should be good. I'm not too sure how many people are about over the summer though (finish next week).
-
I'd be up for a convoy
Last time me and a couple of others guys met up at the Black Horse Pub in Gozzards Ford and went on from there
-
I am also a oxford person.

-
I've not seen a bright blue MK2 in Wheatley and I drive through there all the time, where abouts in Wheatley exactly?
-
In the uni car park so not surprising you haven't seen it! :wink:
-
Uni car park in Wheatley? :shocked:
Is there a different Wheatley other than the one just up the Horspath/A40? Or is the Brookes Uni that far out of Oxford?
-
Brookes has a few campuses, main one at Headington Hill, one out the other side of Botley at Harcourt Hill, "school of health" down near Marston and then one out at Wheatley.
-
ah gotch :afro:
Might see you around there sometime then :laugh:

Is that where you work/on the way to work then?
-
I work in Garsington, but often drive through Wheatley on the way to Oxford/M40/get lunch... mmmm that bakers do a decent egg, bacon, sausage & mushroom bap

On the way home from work driving through Garsington I was behind a gorgeous looking red MK2 been absolutely slammed and it had to slow to a crawl going over the speed humps through Garsington, it was a 16v on a F2 Reg.
Anyone from Brookes?
