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 RHOCaR - 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 ?

    Version 3 has been out for a number of months now, and seemed about time to upgrade. The old site is still there for my reference and I've still got a lot of work to move all the additional components on to this site... but I'm working hard. Hopefully the upgrade is ok and I've moved all the right data over, which means that every should work! PM Mat-Moo if you spot anything!

    The number is

    Trying something new again this year.

     

    1) Around the Gazebo at the display site we will be cordoning off an area for social gathering.

    It seems people found getting in and out of the gazebo to make thm selves a drink awkward at last years shows, so if you arrive at the crack of dawn please leave a bit of space, although I will try and set it all up on Saturday evening.

     

    2) I have had made some RHOCaR lanyards, Carole and I will be wearing ours with our names and a picture of our avatar, (Oscar for those who don't know him).

    Blackwaterplantationoct09025.jpg

    Come over and say hello, if I am talking interupt, i don't bite.

    If we are in a huddle chatting interupt, we might be talking to freind we haven't see for ages, but again we don't bite.

     

    As before there will be Tea & coffee available for all no charge but a small donation will be much appreciated.

     

    Some food for the BBQ will be available both evenings and at breakfast.

     

    Bring your own food also, as you are all more than welcome to use the BBQ to cook what you bring.

     

    Any offers of help cleaning it afterwards will be greatfully received.

     

    Looking forward to meeting faces new and old.

     

    Steve J will be bringing some RHOCaR mugs

    Stephen A will be bringing some RHOCaR pens

    I will be bringing some RHOCaR lanyards.

    Hi Mitch,

     

     

     

    Thanks for your help with this!!

     

     

     

    Listed are just some of the activities, from East to West:-

     

     

     

    Kids Football Tornament

     

    Helicopter Rides (costs involved)

     

    Sportsturf machinery displays

     

    Punch and Judy outside our pub (which is open)

     

    Equine displays

     

    Arb tree climbing

     

    Motorzone, static car clubs, skidcar demos, motorcycle demos, autotesting, vehicle seesaw, vehicle crushing(army tank), atv demos, highways agency, motorway police and loads more

     

    Army, navy and air force displays, climbing wall, paint ball target practice, remote landrover lifting (for the kids, but a proper landrover and proper HIAB crane) etc

     

    Construction plant displays

     

    Animal Academy displays and activities

     

    Lancashire Fire and Rescue displays and car cutting demo

     

    Car dealer displays

     

    Buggy and quadbike displays

     

    Driver training displays

     

    Agricultural machinery displays

     

    Motorsport vehicle displays

    I have a very large car park to fill, so the more the merrier!!

     

     

     

    Only problem is that there has to be no vehicle movements before 5pm, as we are in the centre of the campus and it will be pedestrainised for the day!

     

     

     

    Hope to hear from you shortly!!

     

     

     

    Many thanks
