i've just renewed my membership as i don't know of any board like this!
i've learned alot here and just miss all the great projects that where going on when i got on here. hope it's something of a winter depression!
shame as of how it all went lately too, i see alot of solid members have vanished/moved somewhere else
so just a little call from The Netherlands, get the cars out and get working again, and if you did please post some updates
Totally agree and I do think it's a shame some members have not renewed but on a positive note there does appear to be some new blood turning up.
On the subject of project threads I do really enjoy reading up on what you are up to, even if you've just changed the spark plugs or are installing a turbo that could suck up an elderly person I want to know
I haven't been able to do anything to mine for over a month due to alot of private work getting in my way early in feb( not that I can grumble ). But I've also been resigned to my bed or couch the last two weeks after having a vacectomy. I was told I'd be back to normal work after 4 days, ye right I'm on day 14 and I'm still walking like John Waynebut not in so much pain. The doctor told me I'm one of the unlucky 10% that takes forever to heal.
But expect some updates on my thread soon
would be good to see some activity again! i hope we can convince the Sanglier crew to come to ND anyway. first time i'll finally visit ND!
been wanting to do that for a few years now....
I will be starting a new project thread tomorrow plus updating my old one
Well, I updated mine last month with alloy wheel Dust caps.Originally Posted by Nad-5GTT
I don't think you can get any smaller than that for updates?
Don't worry about members not resigning up, they have a habit of coming back in time, you only got to look at the open to non members sections to see they come back and post.
As for projects, I think its a case of winter time, no ones wants to be out in the cold. Il be photo whore-ing again come next week as things are back in swing now weather has cheer'd up and longer nights are on there way!
I literally can not wait to start getting it into shape!
There's lots of new members coming through, new commitee and quite a bit happening in the background. New forum in the pipeline too!
Ill be updating my project thread very soon!
I was thinking that most of what we've lost is mainly waffle. I've been really pleased to see there are still so many ongoing projects, so I'm quite surprised to see that for some it seems there's been a drop off. I think it's true to say there has been a bit, but given the severity of what happened, I think things are moving along quite well.
There is a fair amount going on in the committee boards as regards getting more new members in, so I suppose my view is skewed a bit.
Actually, the club is looking for a Europe area rep Arthur......
I was thinking the same.. Lately it seems abit quiet its only the same few who are posting up on things and the classified have been quiet too..
Facebook taking over maybe? no one wants to pay to join as they can just ask on facebook?
Shame as its just going to make a good club disappear eventually..
Unless I'm looking in the wrong place not much happens on Facebook either, I go on there probably once a month just to have a nose and I only have to scroll down a little bit and I'm back to where I was the last time I'd been on. Being honest rtoc is 99 times better than facebook.Facebook taking over maybe? no one wants to pay to join as they can just ask on facebook?
we had a record number of new members in January. There's a few megane sport owners showing a bit of interest too. Also benj is doing a sterling job on the company discounts which will hopefully benefit old and new members. everyone is a bit quiet of late. I go on other clubs and its just the same.I was thinking the same.. Lately it seems abit quiet its only the same few who are posting up on things and the classified have been quiet too..

Thanks Matt
Being a member of a couple forums with the other buses, there is actually quite a lot going on at the moment. I know with winter and early nights just behind us it seems like a slow ball, but believe me spring is going to be huge. JP has put in a huge amount of work but I won't spoil the suprise
Matt mentioned this in the ND thread, if you want sent me a PM
Know what your saying
Hi AthurMatt mentioned this in the ND thread, if you want sent me a PM
The place to start is with the club's senior area rep JP racing:
https://www.rtoc.org/boards/private.php?do=newpm&u=1418
JP will be able to tell you how to become an AR and what you can do in the role
I'll send you a PM to the same effect.
I'd like to do it on 1 condition: you have to come to The Netherlands this/next year
Great, get a meet/event organised and start rounding up the UK RTOC interest
Already have a great contender!
"Ardennenweekend" is what we organise every year, it consists of a puzzle tour theough the Belgian Ardennes on saturday ending at a camping where we have bbq, beer, campfire and sleeping capabilties. Followed by the traditional ring visit on Sunday.
This will be somewhere in September. I've already tried to get the lads over who where going to Sangliers as they already have the eurotunnel tickets anyway.
Sounds excellent that! Must get my car road worthy!!
I'm always up for the prospect of a foreign trip. Holland is high on the list too as I'd like to visit Nijmegen to see where my grandfather fought during the war.
Make it happen tutuur and the people will come
Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
It's gone to
CENSORED
And all the bitching and whining has stopped on here. Best outcome possible then
Everything has stopped on here!!
Far toooooooooo many dam clubsI give up with them all
Pointless drivell has stopped.... Well 'had' done
But should I find the need to join a car club to discuss what I'm doing to my house or slate other clubs then I now know where to go. Thanks
I see the bitching has not completely stopped!!!Pointless drivell has stopped.... Well 'had' done
Best thing about me posting this comment today means I have just tripled the activity for the day on here!!!

There seems a raft of project activity in this section, perhaps more so that ever.
So what's the numbers of members that have left/not renewed? But your right it's Defoe quiet
It's actually increased. It's about the same though in fairness. It's only quiet as there's no more BS/arguing which is great as far as I'm concerned

That "other site"
All that jazz that went on was just to many ego's all in the same place. Childish really, I read most of it and was honestly shocked by it all. It's a car club not a school playground......
Miles better now there are no big girls blowses about
Long live RTOC the "original" Renault Turbo Owners Club...........

Saves me having to keep scrolling through as many threads.. I just hope new members and new threads can come through.. Don't be shy we won't bite your heads off it's all about helping each other out..
The bit I don't understand is alot of Rtoc members are on both am I missing something?
Possibly curiosity or worry of missing out on something??

i honestly think the club is a much better place now, best its been in a long time for sure
I have a question for the committee members if I may?
I have noticed that there has been a review of the hierarchy with different members now on the committee or moderators.... Could I please ask how they were voted on or how they got nominated? It would have been something that I would have liked to put myself forward for but I did not see anything as to how....
I'm just curious and if there was a thread that I missed then I will stand corrected
Hi Rob the way it normally works on the rtoc is a role gets advertised on the forums and all the people who apply are looked at by the current committee and a vote takes place to add them to the role. Most of the roles are advertised for around a month. I took on the Senior Area Rep role as I was voted in by the committee
https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthrea...t=SAR+position
Some other people offered help directly to the committee via pms and have been given roles which needed doing to like moderating and so on. If you are interested in helping just let me know and we will see if we can sort it out as many hands make light work

Definitely need you help rob.
Thanks for the reply guys, much appreciated
I will be honest and say that being a rep is not something that I could do with my limited mechanical knowledge! Running a business/website is something that I can definitely do but I know that I am unable to climb the ladder if you need to be a rep first.
PM a committee member with what you feel you can help with (or post it on here) I don't think you need to be an AR, just have been a member more than a year. Also being an AR doesn't just mean you have to be a mechanic, you can arrange meets, convoys to meets/club days etc. there are many things you can do to get on the ladder.
im still here , just flat out atm
