Guess what? It’s on again – our very own Renault Round-Up!
You don’t want to miss this. Open to anyone with a Renault or Renault-powered vehicle / thing, not just RCCV members.
For those who don’t know, Como Park is in South Yarra, Melbourne
One of our members, Paul Stewart and his son Brad Stewart are doing the Shitbox rally next year.
For those who don’t know what it’s about read on.
The Shitbox rally is a fundraiser for cancer, rules are simple, purchase price of the car must not be any more than $1,500 hence the term shit box. Paul and Brad are using a pair of Peugeot 406 diesels.
It starts in Canberra and finishes in Townsville, a long way on rugged back roads in old cars that were destined for the scrap yard.
100% of the money raised goes to the Cancer Council, none of the entrants or officials get 1 cent, Paul and Brad are financing this on their own so don’t think your donation is funding their drive holiday across the country because it isn’t.
Donations are a little slow coming in and we are asking members go get behind this worthwhile cause, every one of us has been touched by cancer and we must never give up the fight to cure this awful disease. We know people are doing it tough at the moment so we are asking for any help at all, what ever you can spare. Remember no matter how tough you’re doing it’s not as tough as the people fighting the disease.
To get things moving at the General meeting on Tuesday 17th the members decided the club would donate $1000 but we need more.
Log on to Paul’s Pepe Le Pew Jo site to donate and you can look it up at autumn2025.shitboxrally.com.au/pepe-le-pew-jo

Thanks everyone,

Our good friends at the Peugeot Car Club are hosting this year’s French Car Festival at Cruden Farm in Langwarrin this years.
It’s on October 16th – a Sunday, of course.
See flyer below for more details
As usual, open to anyone with a French Car, not just club members. Spread the word.
There was a drive day pencilled in for this coming Sunday (29th) as this is the standing time of the month for drive days.
However no drive has been organised in time so there won’t be any drive on Sunday.
