Will add this to the diary!
The Coupé has now officially become my second car so it will give me a chance to get it all cleaned up for this!

I'm happy eating pretty much anywhere (as long as it isn't MacD's etc) 40-50 miles is a bit more than I'd personally like to do, 20-30 would suit me better

Simon - I racked my brains and two options for the pub come to mind - the George & Dragon at Long Hanborough and the Harcourt Arms in Stanton Harcourt.
The G+D is well placed but car park will only take 20 or so cars, whereas the HA has a huge car park but is sort of in the middle of nowhere (very nice though)
Both do half decent bar meals which may be a better bet than trying to book 25 in for a proper 'meal'.

I'd suggest not too long a drive, as no guarantee on average speeds on a Sunday (eg. getting stuck behind a horse box on a winding lane!). And anyway, some of us will have a nice motorway blast to get to Oxford.
As regards eating venue. If its just a meet in a carpark, tyre kick and chat, then service station fare is fine, but for a nice convoy drive I'd suggest a pub lunch venue would be all the more pleasant :-)
By the way, is anyone coming from London way, as we could drive up in mini-convoy. Good place to meet is Denham services A40 (eastbound).

Hi - I'll be working unfortunately - Peartree less than 3 miles from home However, trying to persuade Wifey that she should come along with her pride and joy, even if the brakes squeak! I have told her you lot don't bite. All the locals will realise that you will be meeting 5 mins from Solo Italia, so you could laways look at a PX...

Seeing as so many people are dropping out, and we don't seem to have confirmed a lunch venue, may I make a suggestion that we just meet at the service station, park up and chat/tyre kick, and have coffees etc. at the services. And for those who wish to hoon around the countryside, they drive off afterwards?
Personally, as its a Saturday, I'd prefer a short and sweet meet at the services.
PS: Shall we have a revised attendance list?
Cheers, Mark

Well, I'd hardly say two dropping out is 'many'... Edit, make that three... Not been online as I've had too much else to do, but here is an updated list. simonj Marco20valveT Webbo Richard24 Luke stevo oxfordSteve petep addict SJS20VT Dilster RichTrix Elmof1 Shifty owl10? GilesO?
I'm sure there'll be plenty of looking under bonnets at the services anyway, but I do have a route planned and am thinking those who want to can go to lunch at The Greyhound on the A420 at the end of the run - nice pub with a big car park. I'll PM everyone on the list above my mobile number later in the week when I've a little more time

I'd love to come and have a look at some real coops and get a feel of what I'm after and meet some of you guys, but unfortunately I'm away for the next couple of weekends Luke mentioned it on the way back from seeing the green one, and I'm pretty gutted to miss out if they only come around every once in a while.. Next time though would love to come and have a poke round and learn a bit.

Hi all, I'll be playing Birthday Girl on Saturday and I can't make it to Oxford or for the run. I may be able to meet up with you at the Greyhound (A420-is it the one at Besselsleigh?) Any idea what time you may be there?

Simon,
Do you have a link or a post code for the Greyhound in case I miss the Peartree Roundabout meet up please?

We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Greyhound is now a non-starter sadly. On phoning to reconfirm that we would be coming, they've said that due to the number of bookings they've got, they don't think they'll be able to accommodate us for food, even a bar meal As getting somewhere which a) is close enough to Oxford, b) has a big enough car park for 15 Coupés (plus other lunchtime punters) and c) doesn't only do reservations at lunchtime and d) won't mind us turning up has proven a massive bust (I've phoned 10+ places, the place we met in the evening last year is a no-go for example), I'm giving up on trying to organise a pub for lunch So, I'm proposing this: Meet at Peartree Services (junction of A34/A44) at 10.30am, in the Little Chef car park (when you go into the services, follow the signs for fuel and go around behind the service station). Chat, coffee, kick tyres, look under bonnets etc. Go for a run about 11.30 with the option of returning to the LC for lunch for those who want to and see whether Heston has sorted it out. I'm travelling with work tomorrow and Thursday, but will PM everyone with my mobile number on Thursday night.

If anybody wants any bits and pieces from my brother's coupe let me know and I'll bring them. Please let me know by Wednesday afternoon, after that I'm away. Can't make it now.

Simon, im going to have to miss this as well unfortunately. The Coupé has developed a miss-fire that Gaz at Solo won't have availbility to look at until the following week. Would rather not risk it tbh.
Everyone else should get along to this meeting - they are normally a really good day out!
Coupe now sold!
