  1. There wouldnt be many that get that one Deb... I joined 6minutes before you did - LOL... Back in my day when i was a boy...
  2. lol, they miss the spidey & put a non-RenaultSport car (5Turbo) there! e.sport, nice pickup on it being a 5Turbo & not a 5Turbo2
  3. Nate

    driving courses...

    (no surprise im posting here ) If you do a track day & push it... then you come unstuck... what do you do? a wall perhaps? I did all 3 Luffy courses, all up about $800-900 & HIGHLY recommended. #1 pretty boring in a RSC, with abs #2 SOOOOO much fun, skid control... spend all day sideways #3 Track time, REALLY valuable techniques learnt here! I did track days after the courses & would recommend doing it the way i did.
  4. Affiliation affiliation affiliation... does anyone actually know what it means? IT WAS NEVER SUGGESTED TO AFFILIATE... seriously read the thread! Its obvious people cant read or dont bother to, & are still posting the same things over & over & over well after they've been addressed... And yet again we have people posting about the RCCA... talking out of your a**? well if thats what you call posting absoulte rubbish on something you obviously know nothing about, then yes you definetly are. There's absoltely no point to this entire thread, as its the same things being said & covered over & over & over... & people making comletely stupid comments on things they know NOTHING about... We used to have such a superb community & potential with the yahoo forum, but its evidently gone to the crapper... pity really
  5. There is NO merger or split or anything like that... The RCCA would HOST the site... Only difference between what i was suggesting & PaulD's is a different Header at the top of the page, IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE FREE, and the amount of freebies & discounts that RCCA header would bring to ALL of you, regardless of state/size/car/race/colour... This whole "affiliation" & "fee" thing is just sooo out of context & means nothing... as RSC172 said, I also think the poll is badly worded & doesnt explain the real situation... How about we all Hold our horses for about 2 weeks, by then i'll have the RCCA pages sorted etc... & we can have a proper look at it... So far we have the 3 options for the page design: http://home.exetel.com.au/nate/rcca_pages.html & i'm 90% sure we're taking the 3rd.. Its rough as all heck, but gives an indication! The forum component would be a menu option at the top... and if you went to www.ozrenaultsport.com you'd still be taken to the forum directly... or maybe a separate HTML page specific to the OZR Group... i think EVERYONE needs to have a VERY good read through this post... as it'll pretty much give a clear indication on what is actually been proposed from the RCCAs point of view.
  6. Moosey, cant comment on PCCA vs RCCA... the events seem somewhat similar, but i dont know about the "attitude of the people" that is being questioned so much... From what PaulD has said of the RCCV, the RCCA seems SO much like us & looking at us & the RCCA there is VERY little difference in attitidues & wants/needs. The funniest thing is every has gone on about wanting the site to be free... well ummm have a look around, its costing people money! LOL Not to mention people are now out of pocket like Karlos with loads of stickers/cards etc... Its great that people are willing to pay out of their own pocket, but its not feasible in the long run... Informing people about the RCCA, i asked people to PM me because no matter what i posted it was either ignored or misquoted continually. We're working on the website & it'll address all that shortly.
  7. No body ever wanted anything different than what you said, but the addition of gallery's & guides (photos etc) would mean HUGE amounts of bandwidth required, very $$$ That was the idea! if they cant get numbers for a track day, then they could subsidise a dinner or something! Matt covered this previously... joint bank accounts, treasurer... SOOO much extra work, when all that is there & waiting with the RCCA This WHOLE thing started as the bandwidth of this site was already too high, my idea was to host it on the same location of the RCCA web site, we could then have gallery's & how-to guides & everything everyone wanted, the ONLY difference would be that, at the top of the page would be the RCCA menu! and of course the running costs would be incurred by the RCCA (by sponsorship really!) And the whole thing would have EVERYTHING everyone wanted & be 100% free, & we'd also have access to lots of freebies... Yes... i am scratching my head...
  8. LOL RCCA structured!!! thats a classic... Once again this proves people are making comments about the RCCA that have NO idea whatsoever about the club. The club has a structure, its not formal in ANY way. Can you please explain the demographic of the RCCA for me? and the disharmony it will create? really? what do the RCCA like to do with their Renaults? No we dont... we have the CAPACITY to... If you read correctly into it, then having a closer affiliation (DONT have to be members or a formal affiliation etc) would mean making OZRenaultSport clothing would be VERY cheap & easy by leveraging off the relationship with the RCCA. Yes there is & it has been VERY adequately covered in Matt's (Thunderbird2) post previously. Can people please stop making these ridiculous & completely unfounded comments about the RCCA. There are less than 1/2 doz members on here that have ANY real knowledge about the club. They are: Myself, Karl (Storms of Fate), Dom, Matt (Thunderbird2)
  9. umm are people not reading posts or ignoring them? this "must be a member/pay to use the forum" has NEVER EVER been raised as an option ANYWHERE EVER... Why are people continually saying "the forum must remain free", its never been in question! As i have stated, the RCCA website will remain 100% free to use for anyone on the planet. Russ, as for the features you mentioned, its exactly what we're currently working on & towards.
  10. The RCCA members (like all clubs) sacrifice their time & efforts for other people people with similar interests & will do the same back etc, its the basic principle of a non-profit club (well i believe!) So you dont wanna join the RCCA or help it in any way, but use it to get cheap apparrel? read that a few times & see how it makes you come across... Board closed to non-RCCA members? WTF are you talking about? the RCCA doesnt have a board? Except for the panel of members that make up the committee... If you're asking if when the RCCA gets the new site up & running, will it have a forum & will you have to be a member to use it? Restricting the use of a web site to members only, is the craziest thing i've ever heard & will NEVER happen, as its against the fundamental reason for having a club! *slaps Ringo 3 stooges style* The only reason you would need to close a forum, would be to reduce bandwidth costs etc... which wouldnt happen with a proper club as its got sponsorship to keep it going. But what about secret/special deals? thats why you have club cards!
  11. People seemed to be very focused on what they want/need now, has anyone thought of the future & what is possible! There's a HUGE amount of things no one appears to want, but its more than likely because they've never seen or experienced them, or dont have the foresight to think they can happen. The other thing people are overlooking is if you put gallery's, guides etc, the site & bandwidth requirements will go through the roof, as will the cost of running it. It is not feasible to try to incur/distribute a few hundo a year of costs with a "i'll chip in" style of payment. I've already had talks with some dealers & arranged for RCCA members to get discounted servicing & trade prices on genuine parts... I should have all dealers canvassed by end of next week & a few other automotive product/suppliers done. There's also RCCA members that are clothing manufacturers, so we've got some custom RCCA shirts with embroidery etc on mind... which of course can be done VERY cheap! also in orders as small as .... 1! So how bad is that $48 a year membership fee looking? LOL
  12. As you may/may not be aware, i'm the PR guy for the RCCA, so if anyone wants to know about the RCCA, what it does & where its heading & how you can be part etc etc then you can PM me or you're of course more than welcome to come along to any meeting, held first monday of each month @ Veterans car club hall (opposite Bentley) in Five Dock.
