Hi All,
Last time I was at the pub, we talked about an outing to my mates Gavin and Miles Hicks. They are the guys that has the Laguna that was raced by Alan Menu and the Metro Group B etc etc.
They are building the Bentley with the old Rolls aircraft engine as well.
I spoke to Miles today and all is OK.
When do you want to go? Maybe we should vote for 2 evenings and see what suits them the best.
Any suggestions.

You go ahead and suggest the first night, I don't know what kind of timeframe we're working with here. I can make time for it (no life at the moment :P)

omg i want to go
KEEN!!!!!!! where about's is this drive going to originate and finnish up? (as in ackland or wellington or south island)
Sounds awesome. Can't wait.
I'm in.
Next week Wednesday evening, 19 May or Wednesday 2nd june? I'm in Pakuranga Auckland and we need to go about 3 k's other side of Ardmore Airport. We can get together at my place and meet others on the way if you wish or any other suggestions.
If it doesn't suit someone and they really want to go then say so, I'm easy during those 2 weeks.

RENOholic
pics?
stories?
Everyone knows I don't own a camera or a have a computer at home.
My god though :o I almost fell over from all the swooning.
Big ups to Franz (Renoholic) for organising this, buying pizza and being choice :) I liked the Metro 6R4 and 1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo. Oh, and the original Mazda Cosmo. And the Laguna touring car. And the Renaultsport Spyder. And the Bentley chassis with the massive merlin-esque engine in it.
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
All sounds meh.. Was the Cosmo all *brap brap brap* - "skudz onnn" :P
/nah just giz pics please
I don't think anyone took any. Unforgiveable
fail
I will put some up later. It is not from last night but on a previous occasion. Then you'll have the basics and the rest can be filled in with words.

We were to busy touching and stroking to take pics, I did have my camera in the car as well but forgot to get it out!
BTCC Laguna was tres mind-blowing.
Thankfully th sr4 was white.stains didn't show up.
Here are photos from some time ago. These excludes the Renault Spider, BMW M6, Tuscan TVR, Isuzu Factory Rally car, Mazda RX7, Mazda Cosmo, Lotus Espirit Turbo, and I might have missed another 1 or 2.
You guys don't have to worry because I do take depression pills when I get back. It makes me realise that I am just farting around at my place doing what I do.
Enjoy the pics

my god.
I wonder if they'd let me whack a camping stretcher down and let me guard them at night.
what a collection!
Lol @ the Laguna's kitchen halogen downlight spec headlights.
I want a BTC so bad
that e24 6er makes me tingle in places that shouldn't tingle due to the presence of inanimate objects.
PLz add this as your FB status
awwwwwwwww crap! that collection was way more leet than i first imagined! can we organise a second trip some time!?!?! :-*
Shame rob
So to sound like a bit of a newb - is the collection a private collection or a collective of choice dude/ettes with a shed of sweet whips?
Would love to see shed setup and where they work on these puppies...
I <3 workshops with surgical room cleanliness and OC spec order..

:D lol
Pics look amazing mate, jelous I wasnt there!! :o
Collection is private, They have no specific make that they prefer but buy what they like if it becomes available.
That is the ideal house to live in. Built in a square, the Laguna is pictured in the center plain. North wing is house East,West and south wings are workshop, showroom spray booth etc,
They are masters of everything, upholstery, spraypaint,welding, manufacturing etc,etc.
Regards RENOholic.
Surprised they haven't snapped up that genuine ultra low milage 100% original RS200 from the Wairarapa...
