    Anyone know any company owners who'd like a stand?

    We've previously had people like Autoglym at our trackdays, does anyone have a mate that owns a company who'd like a stand?

    I emailed autosmart and this is the reply I got should I leave it with you to follow up as you could give them more info than me.

    Dear Daniel,

    Have we approached any of the old firm; ie, GT Tuning, K-Tec, Prima, and the such like?

    Any of the turbo companies? (including Adam's).

    Is Scoff having a stand?

    That would be good and I'm sure there is some detailing companies in that area, also a mobile dent removal unit would be ideal because if your car ls like mine it's picked up some annoying car park dinks

    Re: Anyone know any company owners who'd like a stand?

    I tried to contact a bunch of companies, including Autoglym and they couldn't be bothered to reply - any help will be much appreciated as time is proving difficult to come by with the huge list of stuff I already have for Blyton - there's very few of us actively working on this project so we're all snowed! (On track though, don't worry guys)

    Blunty has been doing a great job getting stuck in already and being extremely helpful!

    I've been in touch with Mike a few weeks ago and he's unsure if he's going to be in the country at the time yet, if he is then he has a space with us

    K-Tec, I thought everyone slagged them off constantly - it didn't even cross my mind that anyone would want them there - I was more concerned about the association it'd bring/ what it might represent but if people want them there then Blunty has said he doesn't mind getting in touch

    Id agree that ktec would get a mixed response but this is called the renault turbo uk festival after all and like it or not they are a big name in the renault tuning world. I personally think it would be good to have them and as many firms along as possible this year as it all adds to the appeal and.hopefully will generate even more interest for next year, maybe even have the companies contacting us to attend

    Yeah fair enough if members want it, it just hadn't crossed my mind. Have struggled with interest so far this year which is a shame, still more we can do though.

    Oh and I've spoken to Scoff, he won't be having a stand this year as he said aside from the widebands most of his parts aren't relevant to our members and he hasn't had to chance to sort his own car out yet, fair enough

    Ive also spoke to CGB and his response was

    Thanks for your offer but as you can imagine it puts us in a tricky situation as we are not very popular with the RTOC so don't think it would be appropriate.

    But I have spoke to him a little more and I he said he is going to have a think about it

    I can't say I blame him. He's running a business and trying to put bread on his table like the rest of us. People slag him off for breaking cars then run to him for parts. The bloke can't win. I personally used to use mike but not because I had anything against cgb.

    Put it this way CGB have been great recently with parts for my brothers car. We split the parts required between Mike and CGB dependant on delivery time and availability.

    CGB should be made to feel welcome like everyone.

    I think it woudnt do any harm if more people was to encourage cgb to attend and wipe the slate clean and try and build some bridges! Especially if mike doesn't attent and the guys on track needs parts what's going to happen?

    I can't see the likes of K-Tec turning up, to be honest in my opinion (and its mine only) i wouldn't want them there as what have they bought to the club?
    No time for them and wouldn't have any interest in looking at there stuff or cars at all, but thats just me

    On the subject of inviting over clubs along, if we still have tickets for sale them fair do's but on the flip side do we as a club ever get invited to there shows/meets? Worth thinking about as i hate to see it as a one sided thing and we pay for there members to have a day out and we get pushed out of theres

    mark i hear what your saying regarding ktec etc, but as iv said this is called the renault turbo uk festival, so maybe its not a bad idea to get a few different renault based companies and groups along, then maybe we will get the same in return and ill work hard at trying to integrate other clubs with us and more so vice versa.

    Far play for trying mate and all respect giving for doing it, just for me i like it when its kept to RTOC members and companies that benefit/help the club rather than the money grabbers that tuners of yester-year use to be which show no interest of helping the club (going on response from past threads they posted in).
    We did have them before at a Nat Day at the pod, think its was 2005. As there pretty much the only old school 5 tuner out there still i seems i'm only having pop against them but its not

    Last thing i'd hate to see is it turn into another French Car Show if we attract all the others clubs and companies, in the end its a day put on by RTOC for RTOC members in my eyes.

    But its only my opinion, not rocking boat or anything. Either way will be great day and i'll be there rolling round in the extra van and on the lash in the evening!

    An under 2ltr petrol costs about £50-60, i haven't worked our exact prices yet but i will offer it cheaper than that for club members.
    Only problem I'm having just now is i don't have an emissions tester to prove how well it works, rolling road runs would prove it but could be expensive for an owner to pay out for 2 runs

    Re: Anyone know any company owners who'd like a stand?

    Yeah I can do diesels to but it's a different machine I use, the diesels are a bit more expensive as the charge is based on the quantity of treatment used and the amount used depends on how much carbon has built up.
    I'm not sure it would be worth taking the diesel machine down with me as it's not exactly small and i would have to take the petrol machine, compressor, consumables and possibly the generator too so won't have much space as I'd have to fit it all in my campervan.

    I'll send a pm now Dawn

    I think the likes of k-tec will just be there latest creations going around the track and then buggering off. They have nothing to show these days but there old ££££ invoices in people's history folders.

    It's a national day really for the people who own/owned and still admire really the 5 gt turbo, I wouldn't say it's a Renault festival as such and for that reason I just think k-tech stamped there piece of gt turbo history and have moved on.

    Re: Anyone know any company owners who'd like a stand?

    Ok, I'm gonna try and do my best to get organised to bring the petrol Terraclean machine down.

    I'm going to do an emissions test on Miller's car at an mot station with print-out for proof and Chris as a witness, then run the treatment with pics taken, then another emissions test with more pics, I'll post that up in a new thread for you all to see.

    I'll also post prices for members and let you all know how many spaces would be available (roughly) on the day, I'll then start a list to take bookings.

    The treatment takes around 40 mins to carry out so that's why I'm restricted with numbers.

    I won't have an emissions tester but an idea i had was that someone wanting a treatment could go out on track for a few laps, come in for the treatment then go back out on track to feel the difference, anyone wishing to try it this way would need to let me know so i could arrange it to fit in/around those not doing it this way.

    CGB should be made to feel welcome like everyone.

    Thanks for your offer but as you can imagine it puts us in a tricky situation as we are not very popular with the RTOC so don't think it would be appropriate.

    But I have spoke to him a little more and I he said he is going to have a think about it


    from a good talk to him before about him on rtoc or even anythink to do with meets ect im not suprised from his responce tbh,its a shame yes i think but would be great to see him at the national day for example.he has a fair few renaults as well and dose know a fair bit about them,ppl want to deal with him and pay his prices yeh then do if not then dont.but he has a fair bit of business going on now and doing well,not just in the uk either,you would be suprised on where he sends his parts to.you need a part and he has it.
