    New for Old

    I would like to say Hi to all the members of the RTOC. None of you will probably know me but hope I get to know most of you very soon.
    I used to be heavily invovled with the club way back in the day when it was called th R5GTOC, and I mean WAY WAY BACK. .

    If any of you good people know or in contact with any of the original members then could you please let them know as I am looking to arrange a bit of a get together.

    Re: New for Old

    Welcome back Jon,

    The longest serving members that come to mind are...

    Nayls (is on here daily)
    Martin Dilley(is on here daily)
    Bruce Hockely (Currently Serving in Canida)
    Rach Head (Not sure if she is still a member but i know we will have her contact details)

    You have already spoken to Ian S, other than that i cant help but i am sure we will be able to together as a club...

    You should come to ND 2008 with us, a track day weekend at Mallory Park.

    Chris S

    Haha it's an addiction you can never shake off.

    Bruce is actually back from Canada now, I'm sure he won't mind me passing on his email address if you wanted it?

    Pleased to help

    Ian Nixon used to have a Trader account on our old site as Europarts and used to log in from time to time.

    Is he planning to be a Megane Tuner?

    Have spoke to Ian on a few occasions as it was me who introduced Ian to the club way back in the olden days. We once briefly discussed starting a megan sport owners club but not spoke to him since.

    Re: New for Old

    He no longer runs Europarts so I am not sure if he plans to start tunning again.

    Re: New for Old

    It would be nice to have some Megane owners using the forum here.

    And maybe supplying some articles, info, tuning guides, etc.

    Maybe a good pic or two for the log in home page if we don't already have one in there.

    Is it the Megan Sport? Is that the Turbo version or is there a Sport Turbo?

    Re: New for Old

    Ian as far as I am aware all the Megan sports are turbo with the older ones being 225 bhp and the new ones being 230 bhp.

    Not good for a 2 wheel drive car. has 5 turbo drivers will know but dam good fun though

    Yes that would probably be of interest to other Megane Sport owners.

    The standard Megane Sport would be a little way behind some of the 1.4 litre 5GTT's power output, they might want to catch up

    Hey up Rach, you would probably remember Steve Alldridge before me.

    I hope more of the original members do come back as we had some great times setting the club up and met some great people in the process.

    It would also be get good to get back invloved with the club if that ok ?
