I work in Garsington, but we might be moving as we're expanding.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

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:

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).
