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 ?

Quick Photo Stuff
I've been helping an old friend (not much!) with some beta testing and such with a new website. What the website does is use your webcam (if you have one) to take photos and save them. So for bits and bobs photos, like for on this forum it's brilliant! You do not even need to sign up with an account for them either, but if you do you can save as many images as you need/want.
To use this service, simply pop to http://www.seenly.com/ and allow the "Flash" application access to your webcam. Now get your picture/object in to focus and hit the "Click" button to take the shot (it count's down from 3...). once that is done, you can "Save" the photo or take another. So take a few until you are happy! now select which photo you want to use and hit "Save", it takes a fewe seconds for the photo to be uploaded to the webserver and then you are given a link page. Select the "Code" tab and hit "Copy" at the end of the "Forums" link option, and then simply paste that link in here.
Voila - quick and easy picture uploads!

Retro Rides Show
All
I've posted this before but just a reminder about this show this weekend. Click here for details. Swan Jnr originated the first post.
I have booked us a club space on the website but am having trouble communicating with the organisers at present. However it all seems pretty flexible, there's free camping all weekend if anyone wants to and we should have some hard standing for the cars. I do need to give them estimated numbers, so PLEASE PM me by Thursday afternoon if you are planning on attending if you have not already.
Most people (including me) seem to be going on Sunday only.
Its not the cheapest of shows to get into but hopefully see a few of you there.......Derek has made a good suggestion that the Northants meet have a run up instead of drinking lemonade in a non smoky pub!!!!!!!!!
Any questions PM me or give me a call.
