Welcome to The UK Kit Car Club

The aim of the club is to help and support members during the build (and inevitable ongoing maintenance and modification) as well as to plan and organise events throughout the year. The Club attends the major kit car shows throughout the year providing a stand with tea and coffee, plus a BBQ with food for members. You'll be warmly received, especially if you bring more food and drink !! We also have stands at many other shows all around the country.

It's not just shows though, our active area secretaries and members regularly arrange run outs and longer trips to such places as Le Mans, Wales and Scotland, plus the annual club camping weekend and the traditional “end of season” get together. Keep an eye on the events section of the forum for news and details of upcoming events.

The Club also produces four magazines a year, exclusively for club members, filled with all manner of things club or motoring related, and members can get their own articles published in it as well if they wish.

The Club is an independent organisation, and although we have our roots as the Robin Hood Owners Club and Register (RHOCaR), we are very much a club for all makes and model of kit car, so anyone can be a "Hoody", as it's all about the state of mind, not the car you drive! Being a member of The UK Kit Car Club has many benefits above those already mentioned. Members benefit from discounted insurance with nearly all of the specialist kit car insurers, and often find that the discount is more than the club membership fee. Membership also gets you full access to the forum, and a variety of other discounts such as with Euro Car Parts. You'll also find other members are willing to go well above and beyond for any other member they see is in need of help !

So whether you own a Robin Hood, a GBS Zero, a Locost, an MK, a Westfield, a Caterham, (or any of the many other types of kit car), everyone can benefit from joining, so what are you waiting for ?

Gbs Trackday At Donington 31-07-14

By Guest Dean Morledge, August 4, 2014

Just a few photos I took when I went along to the track day that GBS attended at Donington. Must say it looks like a good track to drive around, just a shame its so expensive.

The release from the pit lane was a bit shocking at times - on quite a few occasions cars were released from the pit lane at the same time as a large group of cars come flying down the start/finish straight approaching the first corner which to me could be a bit risky especially with in-experienced or over confident drivers, luckily there were no issues.

Photos aren't too special, only taken with a simple bridge camera and I've not had loads of experience with action shots!

August Lincolnshire Meeting

By alanrichey, August 2, 2014

Hi all

I gather there were 10 people and 7 cars at the July meeting at the Muskham Ferry and the weather was great (again ). That sounds like a perfect number, enough cars to look good and few enough people so you could talk to everyone. Pity I missed it. Thanks to all who supported it and to the Notts team for their additional support.

As for August, I wasn't going to organise a meeting as I am not back till the 22nd and we have Donington at the end of the month. But I just realised that the Stamford Car Show is on the 24th. Pete Lee and I have decided to go there, and anyone else is welcome to join us. So we will call that the nominal 'August' meeting

If you are interested you will need to register at http://www.stamfordr...vents/car-show/ it's nominally free but they suggest a £5 donation to charity at the entrance.

Closer to the date we can arrange to meet up somewhere so we arrive in convoy.

Please let me know if you wish to come with us.

Cheers
