The Orient Academy's next official meet will be held on Monday 3rd October, 8pm @ onwards.
The meets usually see turnouts of around 60-80 cars and usually 100+ people, all of which are genuine enthusiasts which makes for a friendly, relaxed atmosphere as per any reviews of the meet will tell you.
Starting off a few years ago as a honda only meet alot of our members now own FR and AWD cars so there is a constantly growing FR and AWD presence, we strive to show as much of a variety of the japenese car specrum as possible, 'stanced', 'track', 'rat', 'drift', 'grip', 'time attack', 'bosozoku', 'shakotan' etc etc etc, ANY japenese car is welcome.
All we ask of anyone attending is to try to make life as easy as possible for us with the police, we know that some cars with straight through exhausts etc are going to be loud but please refrain from any chav antics, ie reving, handbraking, burnouts etc, its not cool, the police are aware of the meet and the carpark has cctv so anyone messing around WILL be reported.
Edited for the following reasons
Meetings such as this however well organised and monitored ALWAYS have fall out issues, take a look at a the meeting location map below but panned out slightly... now a different picture is revealed, houses, homes and families some less than 800 yards from the meeting point.
I speak from experience here having endured 5 years of these exact kind of car meets that set up some 2 miles away from my house are "organised " but at midnight the noise was like they were on my driveway, flipping annoying to say the least, costly to my local police force? YES? let`s not forget the litter issue, the impact on the surrounding road network whilst the 80+ cars descend and leave the area and the fact that some of the cars that turn up will have road legality issues and many driven by the "stigs" mate.
Now before anyone thinks I am some kind of old fart who drives a Volvo then think again, I am as enthusiatic a petrol head as the next guy which is one of the reasons I started my own garage business including tuning.
But this kind of meet is NOT for me and I personally do not think the 300zx guys in general would attend in any great numbers.
