TurboRenault was formed by 5 founder members. We promised access for all which meant no subscriptions and access all areas from day one. Nearly 10k members later here we are.
This is what we said when we started :
Hi everybody, and welcome to the new TurboRenault.co.uk forums.
We have started this forum and Facebook page with the intention of it developing into a new place, club or social network (whatever it naturally evolves into). Its a clean start, employing the latest web technology to make the experience as enjoyable and intuitive as possible. We have no legacy site, club, or data to stop us doing exactly what we want, how we want and when we want. The founders of this forum have no more of a requirement for this than for it to be enjoyed by anybody and everybody that comes here. All we ask is that you treat your fellow users as you yourself wish to be treated.
There are currently no membership fees, and will not . We have funded this ourselves, for ourselves, and for you guys to enjoy. We have enough time to look at alternative revenue generation to support the forums ongoing.....(but if you wish to donate, well, Im sure we could sort that out once we have the means in place :) ). Please bear with us through the teething period of a brand new forum, were adding features all the time and fixing anything we find thats less than perfect. Please try the Arcade, its not very addictive, I promise.

I need a place to obsess over French junk. My haunt for the last decade, the 21Turbo Owners Club has declined due to rarity of the car...time has taken its toll. I also think that we need a new place to try and bridge the gap between the old and new schools of blown Renaults... the new Megane and ClioSport range are great cars and Ill happily broaden my obsession with everyone in the same place.

the 21toc has unfortunately become the stomping ground of few. Nothing to do with the way it has been run, just few cars on the road. Wanted to try and use some of my skills to bring passionate Renault ( and non Renault ) owners together and muse over the cars.

Fresh beginnings & pastures new. These are the foundation days, but the aim is to make this a great place to be for everyone involved. With likewise passionate, enthusiastic members on-board, theres no reason it cant happen. Vive le sport. Vive le TR.

I fancied a change, with a clean slate and after talking to the other guys after starting the proboards forum, and experimenting with a few options we found something that looked and felt right, so we ran with it :)

Having been into my turbocharged Renaults for over 10 years I find that my interest broadening beyond my 5GTT to other models from both Renault and other manufacturers. I see this forum as the opportunity for a fresh start with new ideas, team and website to renew my interest and carry me forwards onto the next 10!
