It's October 19th, 🐰 Oxfordshire Day. In the late 19th century, Henry Liddel, Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University (1870-1874), started the tradition of celebrating this day to promote the historic English county of Oxfordshire, which is located northwest of London, between the Chiltern Hills and Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Oxfordshire shares borders with Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, and Gloucestershire. In the south of the shire, the River Thames runs through Henley, Abingdon, and Buscot. Historic sites in the north include Bicester and Banbury.

In the center of the shire, the county seat of Oxford boasts a wealth of historical heritage sites, beginning of course with its world-famous university, whose alumni include Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Stephen Hawking, J.R.R. Tolkien, Rowan Atkinson, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, T.E Lawrence, Sir Walter Raleigh, and many, many more.

Getting back to Henry Liddel, his daughter Alice was the inspiration behind "Alice in Wonderland," written by Liddell's acquaintance Charles Dodgson (more famously known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll – incidentally, another Oxford alumni). Have fun, today, and if you fall down a rabbit hole, good luck! ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Zapp Electric Vehicles injects electric two-wheel performance into Bicester Heritage Quarter

Founded in 2017, Zapp EV designs and manufactures high-performance electric motorcycles. Its first product, the i300, is the first of its kind in that it combines superbike-like acceleration and scooter-style lightweight agility with ultra-portable battery packs, providing a unique blend of performance and accessibility. The i300’s lightweight alloy and composite bodywork bring its total weight down to just 92kg (without batteries). Using an IPM motor and carbon fibre belt drive, the i300 accelerates to 30mph in 2.2s (0-50kph in 2.35s). The i300 incorporates gen-2 sustainability concepts, including a low-component exoskeleton architecture and a selection of interchangeable front fenders in three first-to-market versions. The first two are manufactured from Zapp’s proprietary, low-energy no-oven no-autoclave (‘NONA”) composites, in both carbon fibre and hemp-based. The third is manufactured from ocean-recycled plastic. With numerous personalisation options offered with each i300, the Zapp Experience Centre will be a place where customers can build and specify their bike with their exact requirements and preferences, as well as test ride the i300 on the surrounding roads as well as the famous Bicester test track. The same will be true for future Zapp EV products. The centre will also serve as a global sales and technical training centre for Zapp’s network of authorized resellers.

Bicester Heritage, part of the Bicester Motion umbrella brand, celebrates all aspects of motion, from historic motoring and aviation to EV and autonomous flight. Zapp is a welcome addition, producing original design mobility solutions that place customer experience and full-cycle sustainability first. Daniel Geoghegan, Chief Executive of Bicester Motion, comments: “As our Heritage Quarter and wider Bicester Motion site continues to grow, we look forward to welcoming more EV focused brands, such as Zapp, that create and manufacture truly unique mobility solutions.” Swin Chatsuwan, Founder of Zapp, adds: “As a team we are excited to move to Bicester Heritage, a location that celebrates both the history and future of mobility. We can’t wait to continue to manufacture and deliver our i300 for current and future customers.”

First Hagerty RADwood UK event a tremendous success

- Thousands of guests attended the first ever Hagerty RADwood event on Saturday at Bicester Heritage - Hundreds of RADwood-era cars, built in the 1980s and 90s, were on display with an eclectic selection ranging from Italian supercars to Japanese rarities - The prize for Raddest car of the show, presented by Paul Cowland, was awarded to an ultra-rare Nissan Exa Cabriolet, owned by Eddie Rattley - A special RADwood 80s and 90s DJ set kept crowds entertained away from the cars, along with a BMX and skateboard display, graffiti demonstrations and a selection of famous film star cars of the period

Hagerty’s first RADwood UK event celebrated the excess of '80s and '90s car and lifestyle culture in style, blending period-correct dress with automotive awesomeness.

Thousands of guests and hundreds of Radwood cars filled Bicester Heritage on Saturday, with many owners dressing in period-correct clothes to match the era of their car. From over-sized linen suits and Testarossas, to tracksuits and hot hatches, and city-brokers with red 911s the RAD spirit was fully embraced by UK car enthusiasts, creating the same fun and relaxed atmosphere the US RADwood events are famous for. Paul Cowland was a part of a panel tasked with judging 50 cars in the Show & Shine display, an area that perfectly embodied the spirit of RADwood with vehicles ranging from a period-modified 80s Honda Civic, to a ‘red top’ Vauxhall Nova, along with a Transit camper and a selection of 80s and 90s Americana. Many prizes were awarded, including trophies given to an immaculate BMW 840ci, a daily-driven Polo G40 and an all-original, low mileage Audi 90. The coveted Raddest of Show prize was awarded to Eddie Rattley and his immaculate, ultra-rare Nissan Exa Cabriolet. The show carparks contained hundreds of RAD cars, filling the grass areas of the Bicester Heritage site. All manner of 80s and 90s cars featured, from FOTU worthy Fiestas to 90s excess V8 German super-saloons, and guests spent hours enjoying the spectacle with many rare and unique vehicles being proudly displayed by enthusiastic owners. RADwood celebrates automotive and lifestyle culture of the 80s and 90s to the fullest, with a host of period-correct entertainment provided by Hagerty to please the crowds in addition to the cars. Absolute Radio 90s DJ Andy Bush played 3 hours of 80s and 90s music, while guests enjoyed BMX and skateboard displays, graffiti demonstrations and a selection of film star cars which included the KITT Pontiac Firebird and the A-Team GMC van. Mark Roper, Managing Director of Hagerty International, said, “The first Hagerty RADwood UK event exceeded all expectations, with hundreds of amazing cars and many owners embracing the RADwood spirit in period attire. UK classic car culture is wide and varied and Hagerty is at the heart of a new generation of enthusiasts with events like Festival of the Unexceptional and now RADwood. I would like to thank everyone who made the first Hagerty RADwood UK event such a success and we will be back, bigger and better, in 2023.” Read the full article
