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 ?

    Exciting Event For Mayday Weekend

    Bob Tucker
    By Bob Tucker,

    Guys,

    Can I recommend a day out over the late May weekend?

    The FIA Main Event at Santa Pod.....equivalent of F1

    but much faster & noisier & cheaper (£32 Sat or Sun + £7 grandstand seat)

    http://www.santapod.co.uk/e_main.php

    Heres a list of cars attending.....all really top notch & lots of them!

    http://www.eurodragster.com/santapod/entrylists/2016fiamainevent.htm

     

    One tip DONT go on Monday.....that will be the finals for each class.

    You are likely to see just 2 cars from each class.

     

    Go on Saturday or Sunday for the best explosive entertainment...

    everyone is trying really hard to qualify & maybe pushing their engines too hard.

     

    A friend of mine, Steve Ashdown, has just qualified for his Top Fuel licence & is driving one of the Top fuel cars. IDIOT!!

    PS take ear protection, especially for kids.

    Lincolnshire Meeting For May

    alanrichey
    By alanrichey,

    Now Stoneleigh is over it's time to look at the rest of May.

     

    This month we have 'Horsepower at the Hall' on Sunday 22 May 14 ( at Doddington Hall (LN6 4RU). It's 14:00 to 17:00 so we will probably meet up at the pub for lunch first. I'll post a reminder with details nearer the date.

     

    And some of us may be going to the Moira Canal Festival (http://www.rhocar.org/index.php?showtopic=43321&hl=moira&page=1) on the same weekend. If you are going on the Saturday you can do both :)

     

    Otherwise I will do my usual weather watch for the W/E 14/15 and 28/29. I fancy another picnic lunch at Rutland Water.

     

    And an advanced date for June for your diaries. The annual Midsummer Fair at Castle Bytham (http://www.midsummerfair.co.uk/) is on Sunday 19 June. A lovely village show with all the usual things you would expect. Two years ago we pitched up with 10 cars and were made very welcome and I think everyone enjoyed it. Last year I was away so no-one went. This year I am back so let's try for a full turn out again :)

    Stamford Car Show 2016

    alanrichey
    By alanrichey,

    The 2016 Stamford Car Show will take place on Sunday 28th August this year. Anyone who has attended previously will automatically get an invitation (Mine just arrived) but anyone else will need to visit the website www.stamfordcarshow.co.uk

     

    The reason for posting this now is that this show is limited to 500 cars and it fills up FAST. In particular, last year quite a few people could not register for the run out as that fills up within a few weeks.

     

    Could I also repeat a plea I made last year, and that is please do not register unless you really intend to go. At least 3 people registered last year and did not turn up, which not only meant that other people could not attend with their cars, but also embarrassed me as the nominated RHOCar coordinator.
