  • 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 ?

    Pig At Newark !

    Guest shaggy
    By Guest shaggy,

    Hmmm, I always look for to a bit of a pig out at Newark, but see from events in the mag that the pig is off the menu.

     

    I realise there was quite a bit left over last year as many hardcore attebdees of the show were put off by a bit of rain, but it really is the highlight of my year (don't get out much these days).

     

    Seems a damned shame and I'm sure there is good justification behind the withdrawal of this.

    The perfect opportunity to vehicles of all makes that made the British car industry what it is today - virtually non-existant. On a more serious note it's a huge free show and perfect if vinyl roofs and velour trim are your thing.

    Forum Karting Event Feeler

    maccavvy
    By maccavvy,

    After chatting with mark b a few days ago was thinking about a karting event for the rhocar crew

     

    1st question is who would be interested. which format would you prefer Iron man or grand prix.

     

    Ones a straight race one is a qualifier and heats .

     

    Ive been to many places but leeds sticks out for being a decent sized track.

     

    http://www.ppik.net/indoor-karting-track/leeds

     

    Prices are plus 3 quid membership

     

    http://www.ppik.net/karting-pricing-race-formats/leeds

    Post whats good for you and ill take from there when we have ideas. friends etc welcome to make the numbers up


    The End

    Mat-Moo
    By Mat-Moo,

    It is with some sadness that I am dropping my support of the website, I will host it till the end of April then the club can do what they want and host it wherever. It's been a pleasure to server you all for 15years, and thanks for dropping in :)

     

    Not going into details, but that's my decision and it's final, on top of that I will be selling my unfinished kit, either whole or as parts.


    Wiltshire Steam

    fry61
    By fry61,

    I know this clashes with the Lulworth Castle post but it may be more appealing to our members to the North. 8/9th June Wiltshire Steam & Vintage Rally at Rainscombe Park, Oare, Marlborough SN8 4HZ. Again this is in beautiful parkland, loads of vehicles of every type & a very large boot sale & market. We are too late on this one to have a pitch, but could be all together in the adjacent car park if we arrive early enough. Once again post on here your thoughts.
