    Don't be shy! 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 ?

    West Yorks Rhocar Monthly Meeting

    BigLee
    By BigLee,

    All,

    As it seems our regular monthly meeting venue has closed (Well has been for the last 2 x months) those that attended the June meet earlier this week will know we relocated to a pub in Ogden called the Moorlands. Located between Denholme and Halifax for those who were not there.

     

    I have been away all week with work, so in the absence of finding any other alternative I wanted to confirm we shall try this venue for the foreseeable and see how it goes. (unless I update you otherwise) . I will get the magazine etc. updated if we continue here.

     

    Further info regarding the venue below

    The next meet is planned for the 04th July, just before the Smallways weekend. http://www.rhocar.org/index.php?showtopic=43767&hl=smallways which is still open to all. So if you are not listed in the thread and want to come let me know.

     

    Cheers All

    By Guest nippynick,

    Some of you who knew may still remember that I went off to start a camp site in West Wales, well i am pleased to say that most of the hard work is behind us now and we are well and truly open. To celebrate this great event I am looking at getting my super spec mot'd and also offering a 15% discount to all Rhocar members wishing to come and stay at Aeron View Camping be it tent campervan caravan or static van please see our pages at www.aeronviewcamping.co.uk and our reviews on trip advisor. P.S. anyone got a rear gearbox mounting for an MT75 box

    By fry61,

    Had an e-mail from C/combe -- discounted track time is still available to the club -- P.M if space required & I'll send the code -- which they ask is only used by club members.


    Beaumanor Hall Show, 31St July

    Derek
    By Derek,

    This is a cracking show Kerry and I have been for the last few years and there is a broad variety of cars, trucks etc on show.

     

    Its £4 to book in so not a huge loss if the weather is bad.

     

    The promoter has changed this year and it would appear all the club areas have been pre booked so we will have to book in as private entries. No booking form either, all on line.

     

    Link to website.


    Lincolnshire Meeting For June

    alanrichey
    By alanrichey,

    Hi all

     

    Looking ahead to next month we are spoilt for choice again. There are 3 opportunities to get together and I will try and get to all of them.

     

    Sat 4th June: GBS Open Day, always good for a free coffee and a chat and a nose around other cars.

     

    Sun 19th June: Castle Bytham Midsummer Fair (http://www.midsummerfair.co.uk/)

     

    As a Club we had a very good turn out 2 years ago with 8 cars. Last year I was away so no-one went. Let's try and go for a good turn out this year. It's a classic village fair with all the things you would expect: Craft stalls, Morris dancers, Beer, BBQ, Music, Duck Race, Dog Show.... A great day out for everyone.

     

    Arrival/Departure times are flexible, although it would be nice to have some cars there fairly early so we can block out some of the road where we display, and I can show off the new Club Banner (thanks Steve).

     

    I would like to give the organisers an idea of numbers, so could you either let me know or post here. So far I have:

     

    Me

    Richard (richard7)

    Pete (swan)

    Derek

    Nigel (niduncan)

     

     

    Sun 26th June: Horsepower at the Hall (https://www.facebook.com/horsepoweratthehall/) As some of you know this has been a victim of it's own success and has had to move to a bigger field at the Newark Showground. Four of us went last month and the turnout was huge, but we were parked miles apart.. And we need more Hoods :) Timings are nominally 13:00-17:00 although when I got there at 12:50 it was already half full. And you leave when you have had enough. This time I will arrange an RV beforehand (maybe at a pub), so we can arrive and park together.

     

    Enjoy it !!

     

    Al


    South Yorkshire Meet June + Change Of Venue

    Grim
    By Grim,

    Hi all,

     

    Some members have asked if we can try a different venue, due to the slow service for meals and irregular staffing of the bar at the Red Lion.

     

    So, the June meet is at:

    Monk's Bridge Farm

    Nobel Way,

    Dinnington,

    S25 3QB

     

    Coming eastbound from the M1 J31, take a left at the roundabout by the red lion and proceed for nearly 2 miles, and Monk's bridge is the 4th exit off the next roundabout.

    https://goo.gl/maps/TcekDG8AHPQ2

     

    Usual time of 7:30 on weds 1st June.

     

    Andy
