Join in the fun by registering to post on the forum, and to get full benefits you can buy 12 months club membership for just £20!  Membership includes a quarterly club magazine, discounts with insurance companies and specialist suppliers,  exclusive, early or discounted access to a number of events each year and much more!

  • 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 ?

    Early Morning Phone Call Harassment

    Mat-Moo
    By Mat-Moo,

    A few facts :

    1) This board is run on behalf of RHOCaR, I am not not RHOCaR, in fact I'm not even an official in the club

    2) RHOCaR has no financial involvement with RHSC, RHOCaR is purely a non-profit owners Kit car club.

    3) This board is moderated by all the local area secretaries, myself and the board of management at RHOCaR.

    4) Almost all recent decisions on this board regarding the posting/removal of information has been made via approved moderation (Not a single person doing it on there own). And secondly all deleted posts are kept and can be reviewed by all moderators.

    5) I pay for and run this server and webspace free of charge, the only money I have every asked for from RHOCaR was the cash to pay for the new board software.

     

    With this is mind, I received two phone calls yesterday morning (Friday). Both at 06:45, where my wife answered it at first and the guy was asking for rh-o-car, she thought he had the wrong number (Well she had just been woken up), but he called straight back. I had recognised the RHOCaR bit so answered the phone the second time, mentioned the fact it was 06:45 and he said sorry and hung up on me. Today we received another phone call at 06:23 waking us both up (and my son 5) but this time they hung up on her as soon as she answered.

     

    I hope you are enjoying waking up my family (Myself, wife and son, luckily my daughters are at the other end of the house) for whatever reason, but please stop it. When you have young children and are up in the night (Bed wetting replacement duty) then get woken up early, it really isn't nice. And I can honestly not think of one thing that I could of done online (on this board) to deserve this, yet alone punish my whole family.

     

    Quite simply if it happens again, I will suspend the whole board, then on top of annoying me, you can annoy the whole community. Please feel free to post in chit chat about this....


    Offers Of Help

    Mat-Moo
    By Mat-Moo,

    We have had a couple of people join the board to sell, while I'm not against this, I do think it would of been nice if the various members had contacted a moderator first, to find out if this is ok.

     

    This is a posting from Westfield Sportscars.

     

    Anyone who has lost their deposits for their Robin Hood need not despair

     

    Westfield Sportscars will offer a £250 voucher to spend when ordering a Westfield Single Donor Vehicle either Sierra Powered or MX5 powered.

     

     

    Did you know you can build a Westfield less than you think? In some cases even less than building “SOME” Robin Hood

     

    Sometimes the perception is that building a Westfield is expensive. We are almost unique in this kit car industry because we give you the honest up front cost of your kit including VAT before you start the build – not during you build like a lot of manufactures.

     

    Call 01384 400077 or email info@westfield-sportscar.co.uk to find out more.

     

    Did you know Westfield hold the following European Safety certificates? (INCLUDING Crash test)c

    Passing SVA isn’t a problem with our technical help line

     

    I'm prepared to make an offer to help those effected by the Lightweight saga.

     

    I run GTS Tuning, and Kit Car Builds, as part of Kit Car Builds we offer a SVA test package. In this package we do a pre-SVA test check, including a pre-MOT to check brakes and immisions etc, we also take the car to the test centre and do any obvious small failure points, and then we do all the paper work for the registration. For this we normally charge £655.

     

    In a former life i was a senior design engineer in F1, and have CAD and other advanced engineering systems in house.

     

    What i'm prepared to do is to take one of your completed Lightweights to our local SVA station (with whom we have a good relationship) and see what the exact issues are, and attempt to develop a retro fit kit to solve the problems. All i want is a completed car and for the owner to pay for the SVA test itself.

     

    Any one losing out on a RH order can have a £250 discount from our Deluxe Starter kit, of our Panther or W7DE models, see www.gtstuning.co.uk for details of the kit and its contents. You will also be included in our new build mentor service that aims to gaurantee an easy build and all the support you need to complete your car to a high standard.

     

    Hopefull these offers will help support you owners that feel you have lost out.

     

    Please PM DozRacing

    News On The Website

    Guest RHSC
    By Guest RHSC,

    The reason for the current website downtime is due to us reaching our download limit.

    This is down to the sucess of the new pdf parts brochure we have recieved over 50 megabites worth of downloads. This has resulted in the website being down. Therefore the pdf will be removed and if you require it please email me subject title parts pdf and we will send one via email.

    By Guest piddy,

    Hi.

     

    As previous years we are asked to be set up on site by 09.00 at the latest.(After this time we may be refused admittance)

     

    I would therefore suggest that we meet at the travel inn just onside the show ground at 08.15 and leave at 08.45 prompt for the show ground.

     

    If anyone needs more information as to where we meet etc let me know.

     

    Ps I still have three spare tickets for this event if anyone wants one.

    Statement

    Guest RHSC
    By Guest RHSC,

    We have been looking at the various comments on our lightweight and the issue of sva

    Our lightweight demonstrater was succesfully sva tested prior to official launch of the car,with a car properly approved we started selling the kit.We have seen a number of Lightweights built and registered all over the world

    Our car has been recently striped down for examination and NO PROBLEMS WERE ENCOUNTERED this car has been used on track days,on the road all year and if you remember used by the press (including a trip to France)

     

    We have just re-tested our own car again (this week) succesfully!

     

    We all know the SVA centres vary enourmously from region to region some things they pass in one station sometimes same fail in others

    It apperars the kit car industry suffers from these inconsistancies and interpritations through no fault of their own
