1st one to do 50miles wins an oil and coolant top up?
jokin aside, i'd love to do something like that! always wanted to do the gumball but dont have the £5k entry let alone the 100k car to do it in
Would be awsome ,
Do a coast to coast cruise like alot of the old boys do in there kit cars and bikes!
Gumball just seems to be full of cocks ..Scumball looks far more interesting but I don't think it still happens does it ?
Wasn't one of them banned due to the death of a person , after one of the cars (thinking a porsche) lost controll ??

yeh it can be dangerous but hey if i had a 400bhp machine i think i would get abit carried away sometimes just unfortunately things go wrong and the worst thing that goes wrong is when somebody dies like with this situation.
but yeh bud be mint to do a coast to coast cruise.
yeah was thinking a couple of campsites on the way make a weekend out of it instead of racingcould do some challenges on the way (silly stuff etc) make it fun instead of a hair brain race.....
isnt that basically translated a nurburgring trip!!!..
yeah without the hassel of leaving the country
just thought simple to sort out....cheap....bags of fun....
sounds cool i'd like to do something like that!
I would like to see a caravan being towed by a r5gtt on this coastal tour !
Could end up in Newquay, there's a few campsites with static caravans. Really nice down there if the time's right
All converge there from different parts of the country, mass convoy of fives
up for that
this sounds interesting

I would be interested in this. I plan on going on a few camping holidays this year in my 5.
i would be well up for that.
me and about 3-4 other 5 drivers from the mids will be up for that in the summer
A Renault 5 Gumball. Sounds glamorous.
Its about £40k to enter the real thing, incidentally.

Remember this is the Renault TURBO Owners Club....dont need to be a 5...
JP and Handy Andy organised somit like this a few years back, we all met up in Kings Lynn and worked our way round the small villages and awesome Broads of the east anglian coast meeting up with other members along the way, stopping off at a pub for lunch and finishing at Gt Yarmouth for some Arcade based cocking about
Doing somit like this on a bigger scale would be good but having 20, 30, 40 turbo'd renaults blasting round the coast is gunna get us in trouble, how about we do a coastly run for charity and raise cash for some medical research or research into killing speed cameras
Sounds good to me! I'd be up for it if I EVER get my 5 finished!
Join the never ending list of other members in the same boat
i think this sounds great how good would it be for so many cars driving around the country, you only get in trouble if you get caight.and im sure we wouldnt be doing nothing wrong and always sticking to the speed limit.
A 'rally' ending up at Newquay gets my voteCould end up in Newquay, there's a few campsites with static caravans. Really nice down there if the time's right

+1
Would really love if this could be done for charity, great exposure for the club too
Yep... charity great idea... i can name several...
To be used as a Charity Event would create great public relations IMO
Yeah Trevelgue where Run to the sun gets held and the Miniworld Riviera Run ! Cool site pretty cheap to book a van for a night or two.Could end up in Newquay, there's a few campsites with static caravans. Really nice down there if the time's right

Maybe ... We should place this idea to the Commitee and Get this looked into slightly more prices , Location , Times - an dates ... etc etc
Even my missus said she'd be up for thatA 'rally' ending up at Newquay gets my vote
We could do a "at how many miles will the first one break down" comp.Would really love if this could be done for charity, great exposure for the club too
Good idea but how would money be raised? buckets hanging off the windows?
This is a serious question btw.
Yessss what a good idea..... pull sleves and socks up... this could be another great event in the mixer
A 'rally' ending up at Newquay gets my vote
should do it when rtts is on
You've got to remember the RTOC rule of 3.
Regards to Hoolios Question this is a good thinking point ,
Firstly people will be slightly dubious of donating any amount of money Maybe theres a way in which the commitee could produce an idea as to how collection would be done ...
Perhaps they could also come to an arrangement as to a disscount on the eventually picked caravan/camping site location ...
Being a summers day (If we have one
think am getting a bit to carried away now though
And that is ..... *New to the RTOC*You've got to remember the RTOC rule of 3.
RTTS is just full of feck wit Barry boys! There's hardly any of the chilled out DUB's left that made it cool in the first place.

Dont you usually nominate a charity, then assign someone voted by everybody to collect and hold the cash until the event is completed before tallying up and giving it to the said charity.
I know this club has seen a lot of people get ripped off financially with group buys that have gone down the pan or people just not getting goods for their money etc
But the decisions made about anything in terms of charity events/fund raising, should be left in the public eye so EVERYONE knows what is happening at EVERY stage.
How about delivering a load of toys to a childrens home or childrens ward of a hospital if collecting money is a problem.
oh god Logg
Your ideas on a different level
As for the..

Im not sure buddy ... To be honest never done nothing like this before!!
it wont be easy for us to get money to drive down the country why dont all the people who are going to take part chip in say £10 or £20 i would be willing to pay sure most people would.
if 30 people take part thats £600 alone.
If it went to charity id cough up money... anything for good causes.
maybe set a world record for amount of renault turbos on one stretch of road at any one time
raise money that way...

that could work sure guinness world records would get involved in that.
and sure fast car french car mag ect would love a few pics aswell
Guinesss book or records styley
get the likes of PFC , Max flower or what ever to tag along
publicity never does any harm ... could be epic!!
Jrp pops a cracker... thats mag articles... local papers.... charities... world wide press in the guinness book of records...
@ JRP .....
This sounds like a cracking idea
Sorry ive not seen this sooner and replied. It is defo something the club would like to support and get involved in helping to make happen. I like the charity idea as well.
Ian, do you have anymore ideas on how/where to make this happen?
