Car clubs ‘unite’ at Renault Sport weekend gathering

IMG_7591

Car enthusiasts are very tribal in nature. Much like supporters of football clubs, what they support (or drive in this case) is the best, and all else is rubbish. Not everyone is so extreme, but I believe you get what I mean – there’s a long-running Japan vs Korea proxy war going on in our comments section, for one.

So it is good to hear that “The Meet-Up @ Renault” gathering organised by TC Euro Cars last Saturday (July 6) was attended by car enthusiasts from all makes. The get together saw 130 people head down to the Renault’s showroom in Petaling Jaya, where local food was served and a race simulator contest by Master Genius was held.

Among those who attended were members of the Lancer GT Club, Italia Auto, Mazda MPS club, Honda Civic Type R, Mini Club Malaysia and Volkswagen Club Malaysia. Of course, Renault Sport’s own RS Collectif Owners Club showed up in full force.

The Renault Fluence Z.E electric car was available for test drive and we’re sure some would have thrown lustful glances at the Megane RS 265. We hope that the four-wheel partners they came with didn’t sulk and refuse to function in protest!

    Where is Proton Inspira & other proton club? Toyota club not there?

    I guess the Renault club is the Taiko there as other car doesn’t come close in term of price & power.

      They are gathering to lament together their horrible choice in cars and the abysmal resale value….

    Better being a fatboy who is winning something, rather than handsome dudes talking crap…

    case in point, commenting about people’s weight in a car site? that should go to menshealth.com.

    i wonder how high the IQ level of these “handsome” dudes?

    Anyway nice event held by Renault…keep the spirits…

      If you did not read the comment, I guess you better read it properly. He owns an Audi S4 and he drive better than most average joes.
      Pls do not comment on something that you are not aware of and assume that you are 1 hell of a greast commentator.
      Btw, he writes reviews about cars and test drove cars (super cars) that you might only be dreaming of owning in your sleep.
      Please take note that I used a “MIGHT” as I don’t know you in person. Hence, I’m not assuming anything cos you “MAY BE” a rich guy that owns super cars but doesn’t knows how to drive? I really dunno m8.

    Hahaha the comments about the fat boy are pretty funny. Have you guys ever see him drive ? Right next to you ? You should, so that you could shut up.
