corradophil 3 Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Further to discussions with Andi, I am pleased to confirm we now have a monthly meet in Essex. This meet is already established with a good bunch of enthusiasts meeting regularly on the 2nd Monday evening of every month. The location is a very good country pub called The Old Windmill, South Hanningfield. The food is awesome and the carpark large - perfect for a car meet. More details can be found here http://www.brunningandprice.co.uk/oldwindmill/ We have a facebook page which is located here https://www.facebook.com/EssexGTI, please feel free to take a look. Our meet is called Essex GTI, because it started out as a Golf GTI meet, but we welcome any interesting cars, particularly Volkswagen's best derivative of the Golf GTI, the Corrado. Between us, we have a very good technical knowledge of watercooled VWs, and have probably experienced most problems you are ever likely to come across. The next meet is Monday 13th May from around 7.30pm. I hope to see a few of you there :) To whet your appetite here are a couple of photos from a previous meet. Three of our members Corrados at a recent dyno day :) Edited May 10, 2013 by corradophil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metallix 10 Posted May 10, 2013 Hi all, Here's a video to go with the dyno day that Phil mentioned above: Essex Corrado action! (thanks to whoever made the Corrado font!) Extra to our monthly meet, several of us also attend: the main VAG shows & local shows (including convoys to the events) track days & the occasional sprint RWYB drag events dyno days (as shown above) motorsport as spectators e.g. VAG Trophy, Rallycross, Top Fuel dragsters, Truck racing Should some of the above appeal, we'll see you at one of our meets! :grin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
