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 ?
oi cock shutup, you may comment when you attend an event and i also own a renault turbo b4 u pipe up
Eh? I'm confused.
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?

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.
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.
well, kind of, as it was R5GTTurbo.org before.... (showing my age)
And a newsletter based club before that (showing my age)
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.
thats old, no one can compete with thatAnd a newsletter based club before that (showing my age)
wonna betthats old, no one can compete with that
ive been around before the 5gtt
before any web and or any news letter
mate uve been around since the dawn of time itself lol
..stick a turbo on it son......
My R 11 turbo doesnt have a turbo on it at the moment, shall I leave?
Is that a retorical question?
No , just thank the club for such fine members as jeez.....
The holy one has provided for his followers
fish n bread , fish n bread.....The holy one has provided for his followers
Shall i leave now i've 'sold out/moved on' and bought another Renault that doesn't have a 'turbocharger?'
Dont you dare..."ricka`a`a`a`a`a`a`a`yyyyyy"!...Shall i leave now i've 'sold out/moved on' and bought another Renault that doesn't have a 'turbocharger?'
At least you bought another Renault. I'm flying the Jap flag, but am still on here.Shall i leave now i've 'sold out/moved on' and bought another Renault that doesn't have a 'turbocharger?'
Mart.. Are you infected with the chav disease?
Err, well, evidently, yeah. Would I have rung up??
RTOC is a club for renault turbo owners and enthusiasts
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)
I still attend the RTOC main club meets, still pay to rejoin every year, still love the GTT, never say never
Aii, well said Ric
What e said like.....Aii, well said Ric
and a truck load of enemies...you jaaaanky caaaaantalong the way you've also made many friends
What you see is what you get
Ricky, ya a diamond geeza

Welllllll, ya know. Likewise squire
I own a Renault and a turbo. Just they're in different places. And dis-assembled.
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
Moggs
(p.s. i'm with mart on the jap crap, but still got the megane)
They just forgot my turbo and called it a campus instead
even with all the members we have in whatever cars they bring, rtoc never seem to fill all the places. shame really as we do some awesome events.i was gonna keep quiet! LOL

Most of the time its old members that for one reason or another have another car that still love the 5gtt and keep posting and coming to events
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!
