If you own a GTO or 3000GT or are thinking of buying one and want to know more about the pro’s and con’s of owning one these lovely old beasts then come along to this meet.

Here you can meet people totally into these cars because they love and enjoy them !!!

There are no ego’s here and you will not find a more welcoming bunch of guys to help you with any questions you may have about owning one of these cars.

This is also the longest running, and most well attend GTO/3000GT monthly meet in Europe.

Members have travelled considerable distances to go to this meet and are welcomed with open arms too…

You will find a vast collection of cars from totally standard to highly modified and everything in between. Loads to look at and also loads of information to be learnt too.

Special Guest this month is Paul (HUGO DRAX) Lloyd and his amazing leaping car, not content with copying the Porto Ricans with their bouncing cars Paul will be demonstrating his amazing leaping forward car
Watch whilst he revs the car to near valve bounce and then watch it leap forward as he tries to slip the clutch all casual like…hear the crowd gasp !! watch the car leap !! Hear the output shaft break
Watch the nice shiny tow truck arrive and the nice man collect the car and take it away for repair !!

He will be available afterwards for autograph signing and pictures to be taken before he will bite your neck for free and make you one of the undead

Essex Meet Entertainment at its best and no extra cost !!

Here is a picture of Paul so you can recognise him

And another with his friend GT-P in the background

I’m actually gonna be in that area tomorrow but alas, i’ll be in a transit so don’t know if i’ll get shooed away or not.

Dude of course you would be welcome

We need something to burn in our Pre fireworks rehearsal :smiley:

Being serious you would be more than welcome to come along as most of the Essex meet have attended for months at a time when rebuilding bits of their car in something other than a GTO or 3000GT !!

Go right to the back and we will all be there or in the pub if its raining !!

Cheers Rob

ahem only months :wink:

Funny thing was a few years ago in the deepest darkest time of the essex meet, cold, wet and only a few of the hardcore people there - between 4 of us we owned 8 3000GT/GTOs, of which NONE of them were there !! :smiley:

Think my jeep has been to the meets more in the last 3 years …
