Hi All,

Anyone keen? The start point will be Newbury Services on M4(Chieveley) at 7.00 AM and the finish point will be West Oxford at a great pub for breakfast prob around 9am. Journey to be kept off-line - its approx. 85 miles tried and tested route with a few new roads.

Appreciate this is slightly short notice, so as an alternative I could do 12th March, please put preference below.

1. Si_xsi - Golf R32 - either date pref 26th Feb

Sounds like a good plan. I'm in Eynsham so will be joining A34 at Botley, Could wait at the large layby going south on A34 just after South Hinksey junction but before Abingdon North junction? Say 6.30 - would that work for you?

Spread the word - ideally need a couple more!

Good work illmonkey! For those who haven't been on one of my runs, they are spirited but not licence loosing! For me it's more about a like minded group of people getting together for a fun drive out on some good roads. There will be a short comfort break half way to stretch legs or grab a coffee and a decent breakfast on offer at the end of people want it.

Evening chaps, the weather for tomorrow looks to be dry and cloudy.

Illmonkey see you at 6.30am at lay-by and rest of you at Chieveley services for a 7am departure.

Thanks for coming out today, a good run! Unfortunately I didn't get any photos but I think Sam did.

That's a really nice gesture by vauxhall, still wouldn't make me choose one mind!

There isn't a Facebook page, I tend to just post here when I'm organising a run out. Just moved house so still a bit hectic but will check diary and let you know when the next one is. Glad to see there is still interest though.

How about either:

Sunday 16th April or
Sunday 23rd April

The 16th could be busy on roads as its Easter bank holiday weekend. Depending on the majority, will then start a new thread.
