Why didn't you say you plum?? I am heading down on the Friday and I am 6 miles from you. Me, my nephew and my friend are going in the 5 turbo and a civic type r. More than enough room for you to join us.
Cancel the corsa and come with us mate. Plus if the 5 breaks on the way you can help fix it
It's not that much of a silly ideaOriginally Posted by Tutuur
Seriously, you hired a car just to come down?
Wasn't there a possibility of joining someone else or loaning a car?
If I went in the family car it would probably cost about £20 more in fuel than the corsa, the hire was only £50 and this way my missus can still use the family car for school runs and use it over the weekend. So for £30 I don't think it's that bad
Now that's very kind off you Liam. Only problem is my other half has something planned for Sunday afternoon so I wasn't going too stay on the Sunday. Be good to meet you though.Why didn't you say you plum?? I am heading down on the Friday and I am 6 miles from you. Me, my nephew and my friend are going in the 5 turbo and a civic type r.

Got my ticket delivered today at work which made a shitty day at Go Outdoors a whole lot better.Thanks to RTOC for the ticket discount and I have a hotel booked.The only downside to the trip is I'm heading down in a Honda Civic by myself as my car wont be finished until next year plus my girlfriend and friends are all busy.I have arranged to meet a guy a bought my gearbox off at the show though and I'm sure it will be good meeting everyone.
Lets hope this weather isn't as shocking as predicted.See you at the show
Luke
Looking forward to it lads! Got pretty much everything packed, only need to wash the car and go grocery shopping...

Awesome weekend
As above but x2
Had an absolute blast this weekend.
Great company
Great cars
Fun on track
Bought a car.
What more could you ask for? Even the weather was kind to us. Apologies again to Jesus for my lack of concentration on track
Roll on 'retro show' at the pod now
Ross
So who won the ruck with the Turboreno boys then?
It was a good weekend broke down on the way there but the rtoc people and spirit was fantastic and they stayed till we were running again. Thanks to everyone who stayed and chatted while we waited. Also a thanks to tnt Andy who ran to vw to find the new parts. Bloody vw gear linkage which joins the cable to the box broke. Got one Saturday morning from Swindon so all's good. Few issues with the car with the new box but will be sorted soon.
Now photos from the weekend
Who are they?So who won the ruck with the Turboreno boys then?
In fairness they had a nice little stand going on and were the gentlemen I always expected them to be. I don't think there are any real bad feelings toward each other's camp especially not from my point of view. Was nice seeing mr bond again and having a chat with Nick K. Both great blokes.
Good to hear.Who are they?

just got back from sunday only day, not great really as I thought there was more track action, not to be, but great to see still some great people, most had gone by the time we arrived, but from what I heard it was great if you were camping and
then track/camping Saturday, home sunday.
the atmosphere was awesome apparently on these days/nights, but the weather put us off Saturday typically it was ok after midday
never mind pod next that's going to be epic
Better than blyton? Yer I said it
I couldn't fault this weekend.Good to catch up with old mates and meet some new ones. The track is awesome and by the time we went out it was sunny and bone dry.
sounds like a great weekend lads. gutted to have missed it
It was real nice meeting you luke and I was very impressed with the pace of your cup car.
Did you figure out the braking issue?
Ross
i had a great time, especially at night in the campsite.good to catch-up with everyone.
Good to meet you to Ross. Not quite sure what happened they got seriously hot tho.Will have to have them off and have a look.
sounds like a great weekend lads. gutted to have missed it
Fantastic weekend. A little tired today though. Nice to see a good turn out. Pleased the weather came right.
Thanks

Great event, and big thanks to all those who turned up to support RTOC, few things need to be planned better but this can all be sorted by next year if we decide to go back to FCS which I can not see an issue with. Mark sorted out a great spot for us and our cars got a lot of attention
I had a great weekend and really enjoyed it. As mentioned, we had a cracking spot at the show!
My only criticism, when I turned up for camping, I had no idea where the rtoc lot were. So maybe a banner or a flag or something would of helped possibly as I ended up camping on my own haha. ( well with a friend and my lad)
Also a way of identifying who was who. It was at times a little awkward keep saying ' and who are you?' This may attract more members to attend and make them feel less isolated.
I must be honest, I spoke to people and still have no idea who they actually were
But overall I really enjoyed my first national day, just a little tweaking is needed.
Also thanks to mike for helping me out with a part for my 5! Thank you muchly!
The camping section was something which we did discuss plus maybe somebody pointing to where the RTOC lot were parked on display.
Camping we were right at the end before went into the big carpark. But was rather a free for all for spaces for Tents / Caravans. Couldn't miss the Tesco value gazebo
Next year we can organise the flags gazebo and banners to be with a few people going. The banners are in good hands now and we can get them to events easily. Going to do a committee thread with what we have ie banners tables gazebos etc and then organise them properly for events.
Agreed with the camping comments I broke down on the way and we had everyone in the convoy who waited till I was running again which ment we were late to the camp site and had to park the cars miles away from were we camped. We needed a spot like the 306oc who had their area all cordoned off which was good. So next year a little tweeting and it's all good.
I'm finally home! Had a lovely weekend with all of you lads, it was really great fun!
Shame you went to bed so early on the saturday though!
I'll do a bigger write-up later on when i feel like it
Btw, all cars have held up perfectly
Had a great weekend too!
Car drove fine, had some great laps on track and a new nick nameplus lots of fun with everyone I met!
On a side note, the 9 returned 32mpg on the way back, JK's Twingo 41mpg and Evel Jesus's 5 only returned 22,5mpg
It was good to meet evil Jesus and jesus's dad this weekend. Hopefully someone will put a picture up.
Here you go:
Also a nice pic of the dutch boys near Romil's place:
