For over the last four years we have had a monthly meet at the Crooked Billet in Stanford Le Hope. This meet is now becoming the place to bring your GTO/3000GT, as it is becoming busier as each month passes.

Attracting around 20-30 cars each month it is the longest running regular and best monthly meet for GTO/3000GT owners in the UK. A very friendly atmosphere will be found by all owners and new members are warmly welcomed into the fold.

A varied range of modified cars turn up each month giving GTO/3000GT owners something to look at, to perhaps get some idea’s for add some special bits to your car to put your own distinctive style to your own car.

The pub has a massive car park big enough for 100 cars and free food is available, especially welcome when the nights drawn in and become cold enough to make attendees stay in the warmth of the side bar we use as our own.

Hi Guys and Gals

Just got back from The Essex Meet, in real style… :cry: not

On the back of a flat bed trailer.

Dell took Dan out for a little drive…he he…Dan may be in recovery for weeks.

Unfortunately Dell managed to kill the clutch…couldn’t get it to engage any gears, didnt slip, just completely Dead.

Now looking for a good clutch, recomendations welcome.

A very very sad Angel… :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Im sure Rob will sell you his very nice and shiny OS Giken… the cover plate even matches your car :lol:

Or just a paddle clutch should do the trick surely…

Good meet last night. Nice to see a few new faces…oh sorry many of you were not looking at their faces eh :twisted:

First one I’ve been to in about a year even if I did feel like an outsider in the Porsche, good to see a few of the old faces still supporting this meet and a few new ones.
