It seems about the right time for the next Oxford meet.
Any ideas of when and where are welcomed :y
The two previous meets have been excellent, but this time extending it outside the 'Oxford' area may be best to attract new attendees.
As said, any ideas or suggestions would be good, if you give us a location idea we can then perhaps work out the date.
-
Will this be a day Meet Josh?
I will try to come when you get the dates sorted :y
-
Quite possibly a day meet Daz. The previous meets started around 2pm and finished in the evening.
It would be nice to start a bit earlier, and make a day of it.
If I set a potential date of Saturday the 3rd of July, a week this Saturday...hopefully that may give enough warning for anyone who wants to come along.
I'm sure the regular Oxford meets members will make it, but to anyone else who thought about it, you're more than welcome to come along and you can suggest a location if you want. Everyone's welcome :y
If the date suggested doesn't fit with people, let us know and we'll find a date suitable for us all.
-
Ah, a chance to congratulate Daz in person...should be able to make it :y
-
Oh yeah, don't I owe somebody some fuses? Omegagav perhaps? :-[

Now that sounds like an offer I can't refuse..... count me in Josh lad ;D

You've done it now Josh, he'll be polishing up his gimp mask for the occasion. ;D ;D

That is not what I was thinking of polishing being honest ;D
-
Sadly I cannot make the first 2 Saturday's in July :'(
Enjoy :y
-
I can't do most of July full stop I'm afraid... But go with the majority as it's unlikely I'll be able to justify a day trip down that way for a while :'(
-
Wasnt there a mention of using ashridge common?, as im sure the herts oofers would attend as well if you want, unless of course its too far from oxford, just thought id throw that into the ring as a suggestion. :y
-
Well done Josh you have given a date when I should be on duty BUT this time I have booked leave so I will be there as long as it's not to far the other side of Oxford ie not to far from Swindon (40-50 miles fine) and you can see the Plod I got off Pete.
-
Any more ideas as to where it's going to be held yet ?
-
Cool, Number 3 i shall be keeping an eye out for time and place but i shall be there either way :y :y
-
I'm happy to do the barbie :y :y
And do think Ashridge is a great venue for meets due to loads of unristricted space
Could make it a joint Oxford / OOF! S.E. Ashridge meet ??
Unfortunately I can't make the 2nd of July A Saturday near the end of July would be best for me :y
-
make it mid to late july, i will bring the campervan once its done, use that for the cooking and a bbq, and bring my new elite along no one knows about, fresh out the body shop in "mint" condition.
if the date approaches and i havent added a message to here, someone call or text me, i will make sure i dont miss it!
also, can put the aircon gas and tools in the van if anyone wants cut price cooling top ups.
-
Later in July would suit better personally....
Maybe some would miss out twice in a row if it was at Ashridge again, alternate venues sounds fairer? Makes little odds to me though. :-/
-
Ashridge to far away sorry. Is this not an Oxford meet anymore :(

I'm definatley up for a air-con re-gas as mine don't seem as cold as it should :y :y
-

Ashridge is only a suggestion, as outlined at the start of the thread :y
-
Is it today or postponed? :y
-
Is Ashridge not the site of the last Oxford meet. Just seems every time I get the time to go to a meet it's too far away but when it was at Oxford was OK for me that's all. I am not saying that Ashridge was not a good place or a good meet just a bit far for me :'(
-
[size=18]Date and day and location suggestions for a vote?[/size]
-
well I'm not that fussed about the location of the meet just as long as it's around Oxfordshire and one weekend in july seems to be a common theme :y
-
How about the 16th july? I'm up for this :y
And would defo like an aircon regas, how much?
-
16th July is a Friday but the 17th is good for me :y :y
-

-
Should be ok that weekend. :y
-
Sounds good to me :y
-
The 17th July is looking good :y
Just need more suggestions for a place............. :y :y
-
In view of short timescales, how about the place we used in Oxford last time - the park?
-
Yeah, can we play on the steam trains this time? Can we can we hmm? :)
-
I'd forgotten about this thread actually :-[
The 17th should be fine for me, I shall check, I'm pretty sure I'm going to Wales on the 18th...so should be fine.
The previous location was Cutteslowe park, and I'm pretty sure Chris, the trains will be running ;D
I'll also bring something not on trade plates, so I can leave the vehicle.
Kai, Nitro (Ken), Mrjimbo, Joff, Radar...are you all available on the 17th? Hopefully, as it'd be good to see you all again...apologies to whoever I've forgotten.
-
17th good for me Josh and if you bring the black Elite estate lock it as I'm after some toys for the plod ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Yeah, can we play on the steam trains this time? Can we can we hmm? :)

If we set a time of 1pm, is that ok with everyone?
Kai has kindly again provided the postcode, if it wasn't for Kai I'd forget all the important details :D
For those that haven't attended this location, feel free to send me a PM if you need more guidance to the location.
-
1pm should be fine for me :y
-
:y
-
What time will this be on til?
-
Daz, I think last time we all left at about 6pm or 6.30ish, then we went to the pub for a bit. Now it's even lighter, I guess it could go on past 6ish until whenever.
-
1pm sounds good to me :y

Yeah, shame we can't have BBQ, ho-hum :'(
We could always send Josh on an emergency BK run (seem to recall there's one at peartree?)...

I've had a bbq there before ::) And there were plenty of park officials about.
;D thanks TB for volunteering me. There's McDonald's, Dominos, and as you said a BK. I'll happily take orders and go and get some food.
Or, alternatively I could speak to the pub manager opposite and see if he'll make stuff to go. We've got plenty of paper plates, only a 5 minute drive from the pub to the park, the food would still be hot by the time I got back.

How on earth are we supposed to drink beer with them !! ::) ::) :-X :-X
Looks like a good reason for a poll
1) Illegal BBQ
2) Maccyd's(I think we know where TB stands there !)
3)BK
4)Dominos
5)Pub grub takeaway
Note to TB don't bother with the sizzler...... I had one of them and couldn't taste anything for about a week after :o :o :-[ Not to mention the ice cube botty comforters :D :D :-X
-
I Need Food ;) ;) :D :D
Lets not waste time "Discussing lunch options" On the day :y :y
-
Just looking at the date and we're both off... We may try and put in an appearance but no promises as it is a long way for us :y
Have voted on food but only because SWMBO can eat Maccy D's (with a few changes) and can't eat anything from BK ::)
Seriously looking at the option of coming over for the day but not sure if we can do it :(
-
I don't mind on food, I'll go with flow. I'm
fat healthy enough to even survive without

I think postcode is posted earlier in thread by Kai :y
Best you pack your netbook, complete with gas software - mine was really holding back earlier when I gave it a bootload on the M40. Also, getting that lag on changes....
-
Doubt we're going to make it :'( :'(
Even tried bribing SWMBO with a nice hotel tomorrow night but she wants a weekend at home. Just as well really... We were away last weekend and have a wedding in Kensington we need a hotel for in 2 weeks (that wont be cheap!) ::)
May all change again on Saturday but doubt it :(

I'd offer a bed, but I can't even open the door to the spare room, let alone tidy it out enough :-[. Won't have time to tidy it up enough, as out tomorrow night :-[

Thanks. TBH, it wasn't the cost that put her off as it was the same one we stayed in last time we were over there and for £49 with a spa we couldn't go wrong. She's just fed up with always being away... I'll work on it again tomorrow ::) ::)

I'm going to have to bring our twelve week old Rottweiler along if that's OK. :y

Looks like i will be able to make it (not sure about the mrs. or little'un).
I plan to service the car tomorrow morning but would anyone be able to help me change the spark plugs and fuel filter as I haven't done these before and don't have the tools for it i'm afraid.
Also i have a clatter sometimes on startup and i'm not sure if it related to a loose timing belt - is this easy to check/correct?

If someone brings some tools we can look at most of that. I don't own a 4 pot locking wedge, but guess we can pop the cover and look by eye that the tensioner looks OK.
If its OK when warm, I'd probably initially look at manifold/gasket or lifters (neither of which I'm happy doing in a carpark!)

Thanks for that. :y At the last meet you suggested to grease the aux belt tensioner which i did, but i'm presuming you are referring to other tensioners. I know the front 2 studs on the manifold are snapped and I'm hoping Lee (Wellung) can look at this soon. This noise is different from the metallic noise caused by snapped studs. I have been doing short oil changes recently and will do one tomorrow morning before the meet. I hear what you say about some jobs not being suitable in a car park. I don't have the confidence to open the sump and check the oil pickup pipe which was another thing i thought it might be. I will bring whatever tools i can get my hands on but if someone else could oblige it would be great :y
-
I have a V6 locking set but not up for fixing things...
hard to belive i know from must of you ;D
Will try to make it! do have a Very busy morning!

Have a good day peeps and see you soon :y :y

I will be popping in around 3pm - to collect the MV6 bumper from Simon hopefully!
Does anyone know if an Omega front bumper will fit in my saloon if I put the rear seats down?? Otherwise I may have to bring the people carrier or the 4 wheel drive!
Darren
-
Don't see any reason why it wouldn't fit.... Plenty of space ;)
-
:y :y Yes, have had to do just that a few years ago
-
It will fit on the front ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
boot and spoiler going to JB when i go to aylesbury to get the senator, then i will be down about 2 230 hopefuly, incl the mv6 bumper, ac gas etc....

what is the location of the meet?
-
nearest post code is OX2 8LH and the car park is at the bottom of this road :y :y
-
Well the four of us had a great time today and was good to match a person to the name.
I've been a regional organiser for the Mercedes Owners Club and a member of the Lexus owners club and I must say today the turn out was better than both of the above clubs.
:y :y :y :y
-
It was good to meet some new members. A big thanks to Joff, Mrjimbo, Kai and Chrisgixer for the help chanigng my HBV, Simon did an excellent job on my aircon, and a big thanks to TB for his tech2 work today. It was a great day, and there was a good turnout :y
-
Still gutted we couldn't come over :'( :'( :'(
On the plus side... 6 hours in the neighbours garden drinking/chatting/BBQing was a lot like an OOF meet :y :y
Oh... And I could walk stagger home :D :D

Next time Gav, we'll make it over in Ashridge. It was good to meet you, although I didn't get much of a chance to talk to you, sorry :-[
But there was a good turnout today, and hopefully the next meet at Ashridge, we'll get even more members turn up.

Really enjoyed the meet :y :y
Nice to meet some new faces and catch up with some old !!
Great venue, hats off to Josh :y :y
Kids had a great time :y :y
Next time Gav, we'll make it over in Ashridge. It was good to meet you, although I didn't get much of a chance to talk to you, sorry :-[
But there was a good turnout today, and hopefully the next meet at Ashridge, we'll get even more members turn up.
No worries Josh, could see you were busy under bonnets ! :y :y
Due to the anual family foreign jaunt in August was thinking about early September for the next Ashridge do !
Just hoping the weather holds out :-/ :-/ :y :y

doh, we missed the ice cream, made it home in time to shower and change and go out for a chinese tho!
good to see everyone, a good selection of tidy cars!
how funny tho, having had 100s of them, i turn up without one!
when the elite comes out the body shop it should be one of the best condition on the market so hope to have it for a couple of meets before it gets its new home!
-
Great day! weather was on our side :)
good to see you all again, will try to make the next one too :y
Thanks to Gav for some very nice shots, sure other have a few to....

Next time I go trying to keep up with RobseyMV6's Monaro (and fail completely and utterly miserably), I'm going to fit a fuel scoop on the front of mine ;D.
Although a 2 door coupe is not really ideal for me, it allowed me to dream :y. Amazed how much room there was under the bonnet, despite the big 6l V8.
Good to meet everyone, old faces and new faces, and apologies I didn't get round everyone, as I was busy with getting mine calibrated again.
And to make a great day even better, a couple of us disappeared off for a curry night in deepest Brackley. It must have been hot yesterday, as that first Cobra hit a certain spot :y
-
......and thanks to yzf 250 for the breather box. Well handy.

No worries Chris. Hope it comes in useful. :y :y
Sorry for not introducing myself to everyone but I'm a quiet socially inadequate person. :-[ :-[
I was the one with the black 3.2 elite estate and it was my first meet so forgive my ignorance as it was all new to me. I think Chrisgixer was the only one who knew who I was.
It was a good afternoon with a friendly bunch of guys all willing to help out. Had to shoot off early as we had plans for the evening but was glad I went along to see you all. :y :y
Best Regards
Alan

Chris thanks for the help in checking the shocks at the back :y :y Sorry there was not much room in the back seats ( Don,t say a word Daz ) ;D ;D ;D.
Will get the tools out later and check it over :y.

Got a ride in the VXR500 to Mc Donalds and all I can say is fast!
Might even beat a 3.2 miggy lol :y

I tried as hard as I could to keep up in my 3.0l auto, and failed utterly miserably. My 3.0l auto (on petrol) probably just has the legs on a std 3.2 auto, as proved Saturday evening, much to Tunnie's parents surprise when 3 Omegas went tearing past them as they were tottling along the road ::)

Hold up, I didn't know we where "cheating on petrol" to win the race to the curry house? Plus I had a "fading" Mr Wood in the way.
Er, did I say race? Er no could'nt have been a race, only The Boy knew the way.

At one point - around the area where Mrs chrisgixer likes to go sideways - I did have about a mile on petrol. That was when a brakeless Mr Wood was probably getting in your way ;D

Whatever, demand a re count.
Seriously though, would be interesting to run some side by side tests one day. Although I'm not playing with you on the brakes....or in the corners probably. :(

When you played with me, on that downhill bit before we turned left, I was flat on the floor on gas.
At high revs, floored, I reckon I am hitting limits of multivalve, although the LPG ECU isn't switching back. Feels more willing on petrol under those conditions.

Not much difference in the kit then. Nothing in it up the hill prior to the downhill bit where I had to allow for your braking and knowing the way, I was expecting 2nd exit, not first.

The first OOF meet was Santa Pod. The little I remember about it was that it was bloody cold. Even with my big, heavy beer coat on.

Bruntingthorpe would be more suitable IMO. Sadly a bit too costy iirc.
S pod/Avon park cheep enough, but a little short and no corners.
