    Hope you got the downpipe sorted on the 11t. Sorry that the mobile welder idea went south (thanks Grier... )

    The weather was stonking alright! 31c I heard being bandied around

    Gutted for Eug'/Andy & his Raider, but 5 year old fuel & the 'Heath Robinson' coolant cct setup probably didn't help matters

    Thanks to Billy, Tom, Ricardo and Sheryl for the drive of their motors All equally fantastic cars, and easy to see/feel how the evolution of RenaultSport chassis/handling development has progressed since the GTT era.

    Shame there wasn't an AGM, but thanks to the Steve, Alex (nice to meet you at last mate! ) & the rest of the Committee for organising ND 2013 After the initial worries regarding (lack of) turn-out, I think those fears were put to bed by Friday evening. The track didn't look mega busy, granted, but going on the overall number of cars/people present, I reckon we had more through the gate this year than last.

    Maybe the format/venue doesn't need changing (yet) after all

    Already looking forward to next year: Sangliers, National Day, and a definite 'No bling at the Ring' return visit.

    Hope to see rtoc'ers galore at all of them
    Sounds like it was a great day :-) really disappointed that I couldn't make it

    The 5 STILL not being finished and it clashing with our holiday didn't help.

    Def hope I can make it next year- with a fully restored Renault 5 in tow

    Well done to all those involved with organising it and also to those who attended.

    LOL, the welder dude was there but alas just bad location for getting the hardware it couldhave been done but hiring cost was £70 hence it was left

    Will remember to bring a MIG & TIG next year

    Assume it got sorted as nobody came back to me?

    Even I have limits on what can be sorted 120miles from home in the sticks seems even getting a fecking tyre for the vrs was a mission

    I have to apologise. I have failed as a Rep, despite my better efforts and enthusiasm, I have yet again failed to amass the ECM, big respect for Karl and Stu turning up, they really made my weekend doing that. It's a real shame as we all used to have such an amazing time.

    The up side to this is that I'm getting to know other members a little better, so thanks to those who spent time talking utter rubbish with me.

    Fluffy update

    Found the massive boost leak in a pipe and got that sorted, and got home to find I have everybit of body kit apart from the one I need, Ross is having a look to see if he has a near side rear wheel arch but if not, it'll be over to you guys.

    Fantastic weekend start to finish, great turn out in the end, thanks to all that attended, also thanks to the French and Dutch for attending! Met lots of new people, and even the Missus didn't complain all weekend!

    Had far too much ale at blyton and paid for it Sunday morning... Got half way home Sunday and decided to turn round and go to pod! Excellent turn out for the club

    I have not stopped smiling since Friday afternoon when I set off for Blyton.

    Jokes and laughs all the way up. Camping next to Master Chef Stott was superb. Casper, cheers for the beers. Stuart Austin for the entertainment. Waller for the tunes. Dale for the jokes (but Bigfoot is a joker!), Karl for the 9, Jonathan Smith for keeping my car on track, Mike and CGB for the WICKED parts stands (rescued quite a few people), Andy M for the sealant (and advise), Big Steve for being Big Steve, ALL the committee boys (love my T-shirt)! Steve for sorting ND out and not giving up (on track too).

    I keep having little flashbacks of the weekend, so apologies if I have not mentioned you have or below. Much love also goes out to:

    DJ, Paul, Andy (logg) and the other Andy one, Marc and Mark, Dave (he bought his porche along but was too scared to see if it would do more than 250 on the rollers), Jaffa and the northern crew, Camp Sargent, including Duncan, Frenchies + Jesus2, Brigsy + Misses, That dude with the twin engine R5...

    Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013

    Hi all,

    MASSIVE THANKS TO STEVE and the rest of the committee for sorting another great day out!

    Besides a boost pipe issue in the morning the car went well so very happy, track manners were great all day apart from whoever was in the maroon Clio who nearly punted my misses off the track a few times - INCLUDING THE NOVICE SESSION She spent the day learning the car and gaining confidence, not what was needed... Still she only span twice and the signpost only dented a few panels

    Highlights were seeing everyone and catching up with peeps - thank you to everyone for making Emma so welcome too. And marts cheeky banter lol.

    Also managed to get MIKE PH1 16V out for a quick spin round the track when Em wasn't driving, judging by the look on your face Mike i think you enjoyed it... maybe lol

    Hope to see you all next year or before guys!

    Maybe a cadwell or Coombe trackday soon???????

    Al

    Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013

    Big thanks to all who organised a fantastic ND this year, Blyton were the perfect host's too so a big thank you to them also.

    Had a fantastic weekend and got to do plenty of laps in both the 9 and the 172, both good on track but the Clio is soooooo easy to drive with power steering and A/C for cooling down laps, .

    Took loads of pic's, done loads of laps , used lots of fuel and drank enough stuff to sleep through anything... had a great time chatting to some old and new members alike,

    Big shout out to the french and dutch guys n gals who made the epic journey too, well done one and all.

    now.... need to get some work done to pay for next years event

    We all got to Calais ok, only a waterpump revision at the holiday-inn in Maidstone at about one o'clock at night. It wasn't mine this time, it was fred2 his pump wich leaked.
    I had only a little fuel pump relay problem the next morning, but that was fixed quick by megabytes! In Calais we split up, I don't know if anyone had troubles after that....

    Just want to say that I had a great weekend at your National day festival again!!!
    Nice people with lots of humor, more than enough beer and some good BBQ's
    I tried the whole package: driving at Blyton park, the dyno and doing some sprints at Santa Pod for the first time in my life.
    It was great, will be there again next year!!!

    By the way, we duchies have an Ardennes weekend 21 and 22 September you are all more than welcome to join! just send me a PM or so if you want to come or know more.
    Google translated LINK
    In short the ardennes weekend is Beer and BBQ on a campsite in the ardennes the 21st and the 22nd a tour throug the ardennes to the ring and have some laps there.

    No worries mate, - we had a blast with ya as always, you loving the 'sex seat'

    No need to apologise Andy, you've not failed as a rep, - look at last years epic Cambridge curry meet! also the ones round yours Senna night etc Not an easy job rounding up the ECM sheep! lol. You cant force them to go, they must have had other things going on last weekend which is understandable. Be good to sort another local get together soon, bit of tnt, cheeky bbq whatever im up for helping to sort it

    Regrettably we didnt do any this year Paul. It will be at the top of the list of item for 2014.

    I got a spare "camping" wrist band I could send you
