  • 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 ?

    By Andi,

    Meeting at my house 11 to 11.30 am (pm me for details) and running out to the classic car show for 12.30 (see below)

    Then after that we take a drive down to Rutland Water with Kerry as our guide. ...Kerry, if you could keep the VXR Turbo down to about 1500 revs, our pintos should be able to keep up.

     

    We originally planned to go to Foxton but that car show was last week, hence the change of venue

    As usual, all welcome.

    Barkston Track Day & Sprint 5th/6th Oct

    Guest Dean Morledge
    By Guest Dean Morledge,

    Hi All,

     

    Just to let you all know that there is another track day on the 5th October at Barkston Heath open to all cars and a sprint day on 6th October again open to all cars. so that's 2 days of fun for just £100

     

    At the last track day we managed to go through 3 different sprint layouts with enough time for timed runs and plenty of "play" time as well as doing a 1/4 mile timed run.

     

    It is a great place to test your car, and yourself out with out the risk of getting pulled over and for a fraction of the cost of most other track days! Also because it is a sprint track you have no worry of other cars overtaking you or crashing into other cars as you each set of separately and there is plenty of run off area.

     

    I plan on getting a short video from the go-pro posted up so those that haven't been before can get an idea of the track.

     

    Cheers

     

    Dean

    Only 2 Weeks To Go

    philshelton
    By philshelton,

    You still have time to book in for national meet on the 27th to 29th of September. activitys planned for this event are :- Car treasure hunt, Trailer reversing, driving skills, Archery, BBQ .

     

    With your support this can become a annual end of season camp and meet, the more members that come the more we can do the following year. There is the facility in the future if numbers warrant it for a large marquee to be put up and the local brewery could come and set up. we have access to most of what Hollowell steam rally use and also their contacts so the only thing that limits the size of this event is support from members. This year is looking to be a great start so why not come along if only for the day. your Ideas for activity's are very welcome.

    Total Kit Car Live - Doncaster

    chris27
    By chris27,

    Hi all

     

    Just found out about this event

     

    http://www.totalkitcarlive.com/index.html

     

    A kit car show with a difference... You can go out for a drive round the circuit to see how they perform!

     

    As there is definitely a lack of north east major kit car shows, this is well worth supporting

     

    I'll be there for the day supporting JH classics doing the track drives

     

    Hope you can make it

     

    Cheers

     

    Chris
