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 ?

Kit Car Festival In Sweden
Many of you who were camping over at Newark may remember meeting Michael and Annika from Sweden, Michael was the chap with the fantastic moustache and a bag full of Swedish beer that he handed out as he toured the field looking at your cars.
He is part of the Swedish Locost Club, who are organising a kit car festival in July 2012, and has sent an invite over for RHOCaR to attend.
Below is the message from Michael:
But now to the point I am writing to you as represent of Locost Sweden. Due to the size of Sweden we have made a club for all Seven type cars. This means that all types of Sevens are welcome to our club.
Next year the club will arrange a Kitcarfestival in Sweden. And we want to invite your club to the festival.
The kitcarfestival will be held on the 7th and 8th of July 2012 at a racing circuit in Sweden called Kinnekulle Ring. We have rented the circuit both days
.
There will also be sightseeing with our cars in the surroundings with miles and miles of beautiful nature. In the evening there will be camping and barbequing on the site. Hopefully some live music as well.
Camping will probably be free or a very small fee. And the cost to drive around the circuit is 500 SEK for the track both days and about 150 SEK for insurance. We are not sure if the insurance is for one or two days. You are very welcome even if you don’t want to drive on the circuit.
The Circuit is located about 97 miles from Gothenburg and the drive takes about 2 hours from the ferry to the circuit.
This event clashes with the Le Mans Classic, but would be a fantastic trip for anybody feeling adventurous. It's approx 1050 miles from Calais, passing through Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark crossing over to Malmo, Sweden by bridge and then through Sweden to the venue.
I was in Sweden in May and can only say that the roads were very quiet, generally in very good condition, fuel costs are about the same as the UK, eating and drinking out can be expensive in the popular areas, but prices in the supermarkets are about the same as the UK too.
