    Renault 'Turbo' Owners Club

    Being as the site is named the "Renault Turbo Owners Club", isn't the idea of people who join/are member of the club, plan to or own a Renault TURBO of some description ?

    I don't own one, hence me hardly ever using the site lol

    'RTOC' has become a huge networking site!

    The club name should reflect the club site and its members.

    I think anyway...

    Any thoughts ?

    sounds like hes having a moan about the amount of people that use the site just to chat and dont actually own a renault turbo, thing is the club is for anyone with a passion for renault turbos

    Yep - If people are paying membership, they obviously enjoy Renault turbo's and want to be here, but don't necessarily own one, what is the problem?

    Re: Renault 'Turbo' Owners Club

    Enevitable that non turbo and non reno car owners will be members isnt it? Theres endless reasons for it. E.G - i continued my membership even when i sold my previous GTT's. Still chipped in with the banter. Based on what your saying, you shouldnt be a member!?!

    The name reflects the heart of the club fella and its origins. Where it is today is just RTOC evolution. Just love it. Besides, i dont like the sound of myfaceandnoneedforaturbospace.com

    This club and site is for those who own, used to own, are about to own, or just have a particular interest in Renault Turbos.

    The club name's exactly right.

    Re: Renault 'Turbo' Owners Club

    so enthusiasts basically. quote from the home page:

    welcome to the internet home of the Renault Turbo owners club, the largest collection of Renault turbo "enthusiasts" on the internet.

    - note the lack of the word "owners"

    I wouldn't take r.t.o.c too literally, its been this way for ever.

    Define huge. What, like 500 odd people huge? Have a day off. It's a 3am p1ss in the sink compared to the likes of Bebo, MySpace, Facebook, etc.

    Re: Renault 'Turbo' Owners Club

    yes, but technically that was gttoc, not rtoc, so rtoc has been like this forever

    but OK, I hear you, I was in gttoc way back when also, and I'm betting that not all of the members owned gtt's then either.

    RTOC is a club for renault turbo owners and enthusiasts thats how it should remain....JUST RENOS! if i am mistaken, i will look for just a RENO turbo club, as thats all i`m interested in, thats the reason i joined this club. if anything, i see other motors poping up, aslong as its european and not jap crap..but it should reamain THE RENAULT TURBO OWNERS CLUB....its not hard to understand, however, you could always get you dictionary out, its in the title "RTOC"

    Regardless of car squire you're still about, your GTT knowledge counts for everything. You've been there and seen many things happen GTT wise over many years, along the way you've also made many friends and they happen to also be around in RTOC be it whether they still own a GTT or not.

    I still have RTOC members call me for (bad) advice, info etc or just a random chat.

    I still attend the RTOC main club meets, still pay to rejoin every year, still love the GTT, never say never

    Re: Renault 'Turbo' Owners Club

    i was gonna keep quiet! LOL

    personally i think it should stay for owners and enthusiasts but............

    owners of reno turbo's should be given first crack of everything first: shows, rr days, track days etc etc

    THEN if there are spaces left, members with other cars/trucks/tanks etc can join in too.

    after all... we can all join up to passion ford etc, but if you where to turn up to their national day and spend all day on the track in, say a GTTurbo i'm sure they'd have something to say

    (p.s. i'm with mart on the jap crap, but still got the megane )

    I'm ashamed to say i've been a member for a few years now and haven't been to any organised events, whether because i'm skint or haven't had the 5 on the road. Sorry!
