FOXMAN

Well ive had a V8 Ute and Jx100 Chaser and now a Evo 6 TME oh yeah a jnr Foxman as well. Good to see your still in your Renaults. My poor old Clio found a new friend then in turn they wanted to get up close with a guard rail and now she is no more.

Its all good mate. I well good be the missing link...... Its been such a long time since ive been on here and had my little terror. But we have to move on....

Iam not sure iam the missing link...... Good to hear from you dish. Are all the O/G's still kicking about?? You still got your clio?? Foxman

Hi Guys/Gals, Been quite a while since ive been on here. Gee there is alot of new faces around. Good to see the O/G's are still kicking about. Hope everyone is doing well with there Clios. heheheheeh. We should have a Old Skool meet-up again. Cheers, Grant AKA Foxman

Well once agian another site has turned to sh*t!!!!! Brenno i forgot to ask how is the RCS of yours going??? Nwxt time we are at a AUSSIEFROGS drink why don't you come up to me and me and have a word to me about it iam sure i can show you how its going...................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grant!! Grant!!!

Once again you have proven yourself to be a TOOL. Thats the sort of comment we would expect from a person with his head up his a***. The whole reason this got started was because people were posting the same things time and time agian, people were getting pissed off with it. If you want to be part of the problem not the solution why don't you crawl back under that rock you came from. Foxman!!!

You are missing his point. this site is here and now because people got sick of yahoo's emailing list format. and some of the issues raised was -repeated posts -hard to search for posts -off topic stuff so a few guys broke off and created this... the point Mr Foxman has raised is that none of the above ORIGINAL issues have been addressed with this site. -there sh*t loads (yes Grant mat,e you can use that word here!) of posts about the same topic again and again. -no one seems to use the search function anyway (otherwise there won't be repeated posts) -Most didn't think the off topic emails were an issue in the firstplace, and I find mailinglist much easier to send a few OT messages out, as do a lot of people. then there are the things members here are asking for -fault registry -gallery those actualyla lready exist on yahoo... so this site's taken a step back in that regards. If you have read previous posts properly wou would have picked up all those already. Agree with you 100% Karlos. I can see this problem popping up again in 6 months time. Blackie as Karlos said the whole point of this site was to fix the problems form the YAHOO site which were the same questions being asked again and again. So in my point of view we are at square one again. As for sying that people have the freedom to post what they want they also have the freedom to do searching to see if it hasnt been asked before. How bout somebody post up a FAQ group so newbies can look at the most common posts...... Grant.

I assume you a reffering to me in this.... Damaging my cause???? WTF Iam not even in the RCCA moosey. If people stoped posting S*&T i wouldnt have to pull out one quote. This is why i carnt be F&*Ked posting on here cause of stupid comments like that. For one Paul has asked for donations at drive days to fund the site. So if 99% don't have to pay that means you are going to fund the site???All i was trying to say wouldn't it be better if none of us had to pay for anything?? Grant

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) Well Nate, maybe as the PR guy for the RCCA NSW whatever you should be telling us what the Renault club does. Karlos is sitting there accusing people of providing misinformation about what the club does => leading the poor minnows astray like they don't have minds of their own. Well you guys "in the know" aren't exactly setting anyone straight with some facts. You might be surprised to know that a few of us here have been hanging around car clubs long before the internet existed, and long before some of your voices dropped an octave at puberty. Let me share some of my car club experience: Peugeot Car Club NSW - Member 1993-99, Committee 1994-1996, Publicity Officer (sound familiar?). Organised sponsorship of All French Car Day, went to monthly meetings, arranged guest speakers at monthly meeting, regular motorkhana at old Butterfly Farm, Hillclimb at Wakefield Park. Club also ran annual dinner and president's breakfast. Club had library of books that could be borrowed, common parts and accessory shop, register of historic cars (club plates). Occassional technical days. Peugeot Sport Club UK - Member 1996-99 while living in England. Went to monthly meeting for local area (in a pub of course) - small group. Did a couple of drive days. HUGE annual convention at Nuneaton proving ground. Over 400 cars, a few thousand people, factory rally cars, tuners, MASSIVE. Honda Car Club NSW - 1999 to 2001 Small group, monthly meetings, track days, one meeting at Honda NSW HQ to see new NSX and talk with factory people. Please let us all know if the RCCA is vastly different from the above? I really enjoyed participating in car clubs. Now that I've found the forum based setup, well it suits my lifestyle better. I don't think that there's any of the above stuff that we can't do at the moment in the form that the group exists. We have this fantastic platform called the internet so that we don't have to meet face - but we can do so if we want to. We don't have to sit in a meeting and listen to some bloke raving about something that we have no absolutely interest in. I get enough of that at work. If we want to catch up at say KK, and some guy is talking bollocks, we are able to turn around and start chatting to someone else. I've become friends with people 1,000km away as a result of this format. To me, compared to my club experiences - yes, there is a lack of structure, and I like it this way. I like Vukie's point. Maybe in six months time we will want to reassess things. But its clear to me that at the moment people are saying that a few additions to the site are all that is required to make things better. This is what PaulD is working towards and I'm fully supportive of that. And the costs of this next step are inconsequential. I'm sure that people will want to chip in but if they don't, the site won't close due to lack of funds. I can guarantee that. What you carn't speak to somone 1000kms away using the RCCA site??? I think what nate is trying to get across and nate pull me up if iam wrong.. Is that we can have a better site for FREE YES FREE all it has is a RCCA logo at the top. You can still chat to your friends 1000kms away exactley the same as you do now. We need to get our crap together and move forward!!! grant Grant

Iam still struggling to understand some people on here and there views.. I jusy want to get this across...... 1) You don't have to join the RCCA to look at the forum. 2) You don't have to PAY ANY MONEY. 3) You can get stickers , cards etc FOR FREE ( RCCA will cover the costs ) 4) Discounts on servicing , parts etc. 5) We can have more Bandwith and more useful info. 6) Everyone seems to want to do Advance driving courses through RCCA will be cheaper. 7) YOU DON"T HAVE TO PAY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!! Iam no renault fan but geez i can see the gains of it. Renault you can stand by what you said but before you rattle of can you get you info correct!!! Iam not even a member of the RCCA!!!!! As i said before nothing on this site has changed for the better from the old YAHOO site. Still geting same posts up all the time and there isnt a gallery where YAHOO did. Just think about that......... Grant.

Dish, I know things carnt happen over night but how long has this site been going for now?? Nothing has changed the rate we are going at it wont happen for another 5 years. Regards to the 182 being right has nothing to do with anything!! I was making the point of MOVING FORWARD not that the car is perfect or not. My opinon is taht there is TO MANY ADMIN PEOPLE!!! You carnt agree on what to do so here we are again!!! With regards to not naming names i wasnt refering to you or your post i was refering to another ADMIN person who seem to think that its his way or no way!!!! This is the whole reason i don't post on here cause once again we are going around in circles not getting anywhere!! Guys lets move forward one way or another. RCCA for me is the best option cause of the Motokanas track days chance for cheaper advance driving days and the thing everybody loves discounts!!!!! Grant.

I could ramble on... but to put it simply: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. alright ive sat on the fence and watched for long enough........ My 2 cents worth........ When this site started it came about cause the other site was not user friendly and people were putting up the same posts day in day out about the same pld stories " Do 17's fit " Whats a good airfilter " " Whats mods have been done" etc etc etc. Well i can say that nothing has changed from th old site. We are still getting the same posts up time and time again. What happened to the sticky threads about these???? This site might be user friendly but we are just going round in circles chasing our tails!! Iam not a renault fan at all but i can see the pluses about going to the RCCA. You don't have to pay money where now the admin are asking for money at drive days! There is no spondership on here where we can get discounts etc etc etc. I think what nate says is spot on the money!! Iam pretty sure if we got discounts for our cars all you guys would be over the moon about it. Its quite easy for People on the admin i wont name names they know who they are that think they know everything about what we the users want. I don't agree with the phrase IF ITS NOT BROKEN DON"T FIX IT!!!!! We need to move forward out of the dark ages and realise that things get better with change. If we all used that phrase we wouldnt have the 182 etc etc. One more point just cause you are on ADMIN dosnt give you the right to harass/abuse other owners about mods etc done to there car. Just cause you like your car standard dosn't mean the next guy does. I for one don't like a standard car so iam i wrong/stupid for this???? i don't post much cause of all the crap that goes on in here. Its time for a change people. A change for the better for all of us!!! ( Vote 1 Foxman for ADMIN ) Well that enough for today!!! Grant!!!!!

Iam still here my friends. Just been very busy with work and motorbike riding and the like! Dave no iam not in the gutter today the street sweeper work me up at 6am lol
