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 ?

Phone Number
We have changed our phone number and will eventually, change e-mail also
New number 0115 96 70 258
New email will be notified in a few weeks when I have it
When I joined sky they gave me an email address. What they can't do is tell me how to set it up so I have told them they can *bleep* off.
New email address is tim@rhocar.org
If you have emailed the old account since Wednesday 28th March can I ask that you resend it
Server Issues
As you are aware (or not) there was a power (fuse) issue yesterday causing the server to be down for well over 6 hours+ Well I've decided to now change my server and have bought a new one (once all the paperwork goes through). Once this does go through I can start the fun task of transferring all my websites (including RHOCaR) so we will have some more downtime. I'll post once this is all sorted, and sorry for the problems.
Spring Yorkie Run/weekend
Karl’s spring treasure hunt
Hello everyone, it’s that time of year again and this year’s event is booked for the week-end of Friday 18th – Sunday 20th May, We will be in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, with facilities for camping at the Fox and Hounds West Witton nr Richmond north Yorkshire, for those who are bringing their tents! Bar meals are also available.
If you don’t fancy camping you can get B&B in the village and still be able to see everyone.
Friday night camping and perhaps a beer or two
On Saturday there will be a trip out along some very interesting roads that I’m sure you will enjoy, with perhaps another beer in the evening
On Sunday there will be a Treasure Hunt with a difference! – think of it as “car orienteering”! - which will start around 12 noon and finish around 5 p.m. when we can meet up and share an evening meal in the Pub!
Do come and have some fun, you don’t have to come for the weekend just Sunday would be great !!! - Any idea of numbers would be advantageous, so please email me to say if you are interested or have any questions. Families and friends are also welcome

Server Upgrade
The server was down for a short while for a small (free!) memory upgrade, sorry about that.
Chat Feature Replaced With Shoutbox
The old chat feature rarely got used, so I've not put up an experimental "Shout box" at the bottom of the index page instead. Feel free to say hello, but there are some limitations on posting. As I said this is experimental, so we can decide to keep it or not.
Open This Sat
we will be open this sat ( 10th ) for anyone requiring parts,
anything that will require fabrication please order before friday.
Thanks

Community Software Upgrade
In case you have been unsure, I've spent the afternoon updating the board software. Presently I've had to disable the "Garage" plugin till I can sort that out, as it is incompatible iwht the new version (hope this will be resolved shortly). Also the template for the members area is a bit screwy as well, I'll work on this in a while as well.
Please feel free to report any other bugs/issues in the chit/chat section.
Leicestershire Meet
Just a reminder of the Leicestershire meet tomorrow night at the Waterside Inn, Mountsorrel, 7.30ish onwards.

Apologies. Have a good one in my absence!
