    So next year is 10yrs of Nat Day and 40yrs of the Renault 5, sounds like a big push for Nat Day is in order!

    to right.. It would be amazing to see an extra effort being made, get the frenchies over and try to get folks to give it an extra push.

    We've been in contact with them and will try really hard to get as many owners to this day as possible. We need to start at home though and it would be nice to see a LARGE presence from the RTOC!

    Lets hope we've given enough notice this year

    I guess the French/Euro guys are waiting to see how many of us (RTOC) will be attending their big Belgium do in early June, before they commit to our ND.
