    Pod 2005, i remember being astounded at the amount of gtt's in the field, i was also amazed at both scoff and sparkie changing headgaskets both in the day and evening the sight of an engine in bits was all a bit scary for me at the time

    low and behold i can now change a headgasket with my eyes closed

    Re: what was your 1st rtoc event?

    Rolling road day at falkland performance , unsure of year but we were in a magazine called fast and modified (mag is no more) I'm sure i have a copy somewhere will see if I can scan it in, Miller and the misses were there and if I remember correctly Mudslinger was still in the process of EFI ing his motor and turned up with a shiney new head he had just picked up fresh from Renault so must have been a while ago (sh#t im getting old)

    Re: what was your 1st rtoc event?

    I honestly cant remember

    Certainly a long time back

    Maybe it was a pod day? Or local meet

    But been to almost every if not all ND's since and loads of track days which kind of fed into the original Spa, Nurburgring trips, building to the 1st No bling at the ring and so forth

    And as Ricardo has already said met some of my best friends epic stuff all in all

    Wonder how life would have turned out if I never purchased that slightly crap example of a red (pink) GT turbo all those years from stoke on trent followed by the black project car which went to VNT until snett killed it, then a VERY nice silver example (remember been so hung over at snetterton I did not want to drive it all day on track lol) and then the VAG conversion after selling it to chris H

    Would never have met most of you and lesser my life would have been for it

    Long live the RTOC and 75% of its owners without Renualts now

    By far some of the best days of my life have been with you bunch of misfits
