Well got in at 12:30am in the end, after dropping Dave off in Ashford. 250miles in total roughly with him stuck under 2m from my boot.
What a great weekend, such a laugh and nice to meet up with the usual crowd.
Just need a couple of nights to recover especially after being dragged to a managers meeting all day today. It wasn't fun
was good to meet you mate and ady ,dankennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnOriginally Posted by Bigfoot

Ha ha, Daaaaannnnnnnnnnnkkeeeee
Meine Holgen ist jens, wtf were we coming up with, I blame that dodgy pub me and J went to saturday evening.
Yeah, was chatting to you for ages in the pub and didn't even know who you were, I blame the steak on the stone, hmmm that was lovely
Well where do I start..... What a BRILLIANT weekend!!
Great Company, Great DrinksGreat Food, Great Hotel, Great World Series Renault & most importantly GREAT LAUGHS!!
Was really impressed with the WSR Nurburgring & from the people I discussed it with, it wasn't only me who thought it knocked Silverstone & the UK event into a cocked hat!!
The fact that we managed to get 6 laps of the full GP circuit (without any joy dampening renault chaperone's) had to be one of the best parts of the whole weekend for me!!
Great to meet some new members of the club and special mention to TOMS-GTT who travelled almost all of Friday night to get their in-time! All credit to you mateOf course it was also good to see the old faces & spend more time with you sinking a few Bit-Bergers!
It certianly wetted my appetite for another road trip next year so watch this space for details of a trip to either WSR Le-Mans or Spa!
As Penfold mentioned earlier his mate's gearbox gave up the ghost on the journey home but thanks to the never give up PMT attitude of this club we managed to tow him back home & not ruin our record of never leaving a man behind!! I was really chuffed to see everyone dig in & lend a hand with this issue & couldn't think of a better set of lads to drive across Europe with!!! Nice one Dale!
Right as for pictures I've uploaded a LOAD of our pictures onto my Photobucket account HERE.
I've had an e-mail from the D'ARC informing me of some websites where pictures of the event are posted on. Have a click & see if you can see your car doing a lap on the circuit:
I don't think there is any better way of wrapping this post up than letting you all have a listen to Krissy M's Song
I'm awarding Dale the inaugural RTOC beyond the call of duty award
T-shirt of your choice in the post ...just let me know the details
Great minds think alike Steve! I had the You-tube link copied and ready to paste before I read your post!
Nic and I finally got home @ 2:15-am after 4 sets of roadwork's with not one workman anywhere!The mind boggles! Toll road was sweet though
Firstly, a big thanks for Steve for organizing the trip and all the shenanigans and Stu for sorting the hotel for us! Thanks guys, it'll go down as a weekend to remember! Right from the off it was brilliant! From the steak on stone dinner to the 3 litre glass of beer/backwash everything was superb and that was only the first night!I must agree with the general view that the RWS @ 'the ring' blew Silverstone away as I would never have believed I'd be driving the race circuit on a parade lap! Superb! (great links as well Steve
) Sunday was a mixture of shopping, chilling, catching up with friends and a couple of laps of the Nordschleife finished off with an almost mind reading meet up in the over flow car-park. And it wasn't even planned!
Monday summed up what RTOC is all about! It was unfortunate for Dave to have his box give up but Dale and the crew soon made it better! The trip to the ferry (even tough we missed the 6 o'clock) was a blessing in disguise! I actually enjoyed the 70mph cruising and my MPG even peaked at a staggering 24.9!!....and that goes for Bruce as well for getting messy during the diagnosis! Top job all round!
Thanks to everyone for making it a special weekend and we are already looking forward to the next one whether it be LeMans or Spa...The company alone makes it worth the trip!! I just hope it doesnt clash with my brothers wedding or he'll be finding himself a new best man!
Lomo & Nic!
Glad you got 24.9mpg, think mine work out about 10mpg
What cracked me up was on the way out of the ferry they tried to direct the clio into the customs to get the car checked over, so its not just the french which dont realise that the car was being towed
Clee you have a PM
Glad every1 got home me and Carolyn had such a great time and laugh ,the whole event went like clock work ,was good to catch up with you Lomo and meet nic ,I cnt wait for the next event or road trip thanks to Steve and chris for booking my room and the Rtoc for such a great club
cheers to everyone that i met an had laughs and banter with,truly a great
time away,weather again was very good,nice time of year to go,hotel was spot
on and had a cool little drive to the ring..roads are awesome all around this area,
drive to shuld..
and thank you to big steve for sorting this an that...

Ive spoken to a few people and 5th June seems to be okay for some people, but others are also talking about going to WRS at Nurburgring again, or Le Mans 24hrs or Spa.
I need to speak with Steve and a few other members to decide how many will able come to your National Day.
Ive found a few sites with Nordschliefe photos from Saturday and Sunday-

This is the guy who was selling photos in the Pistenklause on Sunday night- http://www.frozenspeed.com/
No photos on his site from the weekend but drop him an email with your reg and he'll take a look. He emailed me back within 10mins today
There are loads more sites with 'ring photos but im off to search those ones for now..........
First post!
Hello from Darren & Philippa!!
Just joined up - another "ringer" non-turbo Renault eh??
We both would like to say what an excellent time we had over the weekend - we met some really great people whose friendship and hospitality was fantastic!
Both WSR and the 'Ring were great in their own way - as you say the UK version really has something to live up to now...!
The drive home was something else - the "Dunkirk Spirit" of not returning without a car lived on!
Looking forward to seeing you all again soon & thanks again!
P.S. Our piccys and vid clips coming soon!!

Stu, there's no problem this end with dropping the previously mentioned Le Mans weekend in favour of going to the French ND and/or RWS Nurburgring.Stephane,

Regarding Spa, I plan on organising an rtoc trackday there for next year, but that won't be until Easter (at the earliest), so not sure how that ties in with your/Steve's plans?
After 2 days of searching through about 13 websites and tens of thousands of photos from the weekend, ive finally found a pic of me on the nordschliefe-
I was beginning to think i wasn't even there!!

I would just like to thank Steve for all his work on organising this trip. It is much appreciated, the club need people like you with the level of commitment you show
This trip has been the best rtoc event i have ever went on......even though i spent loads of money.....on wineEverything just seemed to fall into place with nothing going wrong over the weekend. I could not have asked for a better weekend..........well maybe if Dale could find his volume button
