TR5tar Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Hi Graham, Boodles was the one on the left just after crossing the walkway bridge from the multistory car park into the old Westgate shopping centre. It was a pain because it had a strict dress code! I'm not sure of the one you are thinking of. Walking down George Street, with DM on your right you reach the bus station behind the cinema as you say. I can only think of the Old Firestation club down that way, which was on the same side of the road as DM. There was also the Coven, near the ice rink. That club went through a stage of only letting couples in, so if you went along with a bunch of mates, you'd often line up outside to get paired off with a girl.

One I was thinking was somewhere around where the gourmet burger bar is now, but all a very long time ago now and the old memory isn't what it used to be but sure it was underground like DM.

Not sure where the gourmet burger bar is Graham. I've not been into Oxford centre in the last 4 or 5 years. I think there was a club near the old Army Surplus shop (other than the old Firestation on the opposite side of the road), but it's not one I went to. The only other underground club I can think of in Oxford at that time was a short lived place called "Angles", which was a bit punk and gothic in style. Did you go to any of the clubs in the surrounding towns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No my 'roving' in Oxforshire in the 80's was limited to 3T's waterski club in Standlake(paying for that now my back and shoulder are wrecked!) , Jackies tea room in Burford, Leafield Radio station where i did my apprentice training, the Court Inn Wintney, the the 2 clubs in Oxford we just discussed ........Oh and how could I forget the Spread Eagle in Carterton ! but think you are on the money about the bar being near an Army surplus shop.

Can't use my old user name RogerH for some reason. never mind. I have offered to help sort out any problems on the other site - time will tell. I also read some of the guff that Duncan was talking about in his recent post - not impressed. Why do people open their mouths when they know diddly squat. Roger Roger Hogarth Nr.

I might start recommissing the spitfire in spring. Just needs new fluids, a clutch slave that’s sticky, 4 new tyres and petrol. Wash it’s a bit dusty. Bar that it’s exaclty as I left it in 2010. MOT. Like all things I enjoy my bipolar disorder ruins them all after a while. I’ve been to far off in distract lands to consider taking back on any potential stresses and past loves. Things quite stable last 6months. Kinda thought if I had a stable year I’d get the car going again. Cant face rear suspension design and execution at this time tho. So it’ll remain a bit lethal on swing axles. Probably used for the odd track day and no road driving bar on Sunday. Roads so congested with dawdlers and no one overtakes anymore compared to the past, thesedays I’d rather not drive much on the road cause it’s not 1996 any more when every road was my own personal racetrack. I used to be a very naughty boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
