Testimonials

I’ve been a member for 13 years now and have made some great friends and enjoyed some
lovely days out and weekend trips with the club.

This is my favourite car club by miles! I’ve made so many great friends through the club over the years. I’ve had many great days out, weekends away and even a couple of continental tours. And I’ve enjoyed rides in a huge range of cars I could never have experienced without being in the club. As with anything, it is what you make it, but if you throw yourself in, you reap the rewards.

John and I joined the GCCG about 5 years ago, we didn’t have a classic car at the time, so we just came along for the ride, very quickly that changed and we bought a fun 2006 MX5, followed a Mercedes CLK convertible. We had so much fun driving through some fantastic scenery and the lanes and visiting various museums and lots of socialising. Sadly our life changed last year when John died, what I experienced is a group of people, who are so loving very caring it’s the tough times in life that you realise who your friends are, I certainly found this out and the GCCG proved that we are more than gay men into cars, we are a huge community who surround and support each other. Thanks again everyone.

I went to the area monthly pub night about eight years ago to see what it was all about. The warmth of the welcome I received locked us in ever since. As a result we now have friends across Europe and as far afield as the USA and Australia because of the regular get-togethers we have with our European sister clubs that draw a worldwide attendance. The annual cost of membership is less than a packet of cigarettes, the range of UK events is remarkable, the diversity of membership a joy and the range of cars as wide as one could imagine. It doesn’t matter whether you have a rusty old crate or something exotic, no one judges and everyone celebrates. You don’t even need to know anything about cars – I don’t. As long as it looks nice and goes, I’m happy!

I joined GCCG nearly 20 years ago at Brighton Pride and it’s the best decision I have ever made. A superb social life with friends all over the UK and the chance to drive my classic cars on the most amazing places all over the UK.

I’ve got so much more out of my classic car ownership since joining the GCCG, I’ve attended events and visited new places I wouldn’t have experienced without the club.
