Stick my name down for this

I only got to 3 events this year, want to get to lots more in 2010. I'll be bringing one of those unreliable Renaults though

My teenage dream car you know - Renault 18 Turbo, Renault Feuego Turbo, and of course Renault 25 - ANY of them except 2.0 TS..

My mate bought a Renault 11 Turbo, but it was the lower tuned 105bhp, not the 115bhp.. it was ok.. The 18 was the one I always wanted..

Am i wrong or did they never do a Renault 25 Turbo....?

They did a Renault 21 Turbo and Quadra Turbo...

The 25 was the equivalent of the later Safrane....

My mates dad had a 25 Monaco with beige leather....This was back in the late 80's when they were still available new....what a car it was 8)

Oooooooo yes Vince They damm well did an amazing Turbo!!

It was a 12 valve PRV with a blower mounted at the rear of the banks, I say rear because it was an IN LINE installation but Front wheel drive...

It was about 205bhp! And Ive got Brochures too to proove it!

A beautifull car! There was one on ebay earlyer this year (2009) and it went for good money too..

Keeping this thread going, how about the month of May? I figure the weather will be good then without being too hot, and it hopefully wont clash with summer holiday plans.
I'm quite ignorant regarding tracks and their location, but would suggest if possible mid England, such as Leicester or brum areas to try and keep the distance fair for all, remember our friends in the west country may want to come. Anywhere north of London is a real haul for those guys. Locating wise Donington might be a good idea no? cost basis maybe a less well known place would be preferable.
Oh and some of the guys at B&L say their interested, maybe one or more of the world famous V6 Activas will be in attendance, now that would be a treat

Well I'll be driving from Glasgow so it's an overnighter whatever we choose.....unless you all want to come up to Knockhill

What about Bedford Autodrome? Always wanted to go there, plus there's nothing to hit if you come off.

I presume we're going for a full day event? Otherwise it's not really worth the hike for me.
