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 ?

    The Cholmondeley Pageant Of Power

    steve in stockport
    By steve in stockport,

    The organisers of the CPOP are starting to put the wheels in motion for this years event, and are asking for initial numbers of Club members who will be attending over the weekend.

    The event takes place at Cholmondeley Castle, near Malpass in Cheshire and is billed as a northern rival to the Goodwood Festival, there is loads of action on track, water, land and in the air, and camping is available. There is a write up on last years event in the latest Boys in Hoods magazine.

     

    The organisers have supplied free passes, for kit drivers, for the last two years and I anticipate they will do the same again this year, but they are limited and passengers and non kit drivers will still be charged.

     

    If you're interested please add your name below and whether you will be there on Saturday, Sunday or both, whether you will be putting your car on the Club stand(kits only) or whether you will be attending but not displaying your car(tin tops)

     

    This is the weekend immediately after the Le Mans Classic, so some people may not be able to get their passes stamped :D .

    A huge sense of humour and be prepared to have a good time.

     

    Numbers will be rquired to be fixed to both sides of the car, no numpty last minute write it with a biro crap please.

    Print two numbers at maximum size on your PC, ie a 2 and a 2 for 22, laminate and use electrical tape to affix, it aint rocket science.

    Or, for little money, get hem from 'fleabay', very smart.

    It is for you safety, so if in the event of an incident your car can be identified by the crash rescue crews.

     

    If you have a prefered number let me know, I will allocate it from the start.

    Should you be sharing a drive it would for instance be wise to choose 1 and 11.

    By Guest Ian & Carole,

    2010 Kit Car Shows

     

    Detling Show - April 4-5 (Easter) Sun / Mon.

     

    Stoneleigh Show - May 2-3 Sun / Mon. AGM (in the warwick centre 16.00 ish Sunday afternoon)

     

    Newark Show - June 19-20 Hog Roast Saturday night

     

    Stafford Show - September 18-19

     

    Exeter Show - October 23-24 new date!! might be a bit warmer

     

     

    Look forward to seeing freinds old and new, all welcome don't be shy, make sure you come and say hello.

     

    We have decided this year that we will corden off an area around the Gazeebo on the display area for seating as we had a few people who thought it was a bit tight around this area last year, so if you arrive with the sun rise please don't park too close around the area of the Gazebbo. Thanks.

     

    At all the shows there will be Tea / Coffee available for you.

     

    The down side for some is YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT YOUR SELF, I do the shopping for it all, therefore I am not waiting on :D

     

    There will also be a few RHOCaR mugs for sale for those who's handles have fallen off :D

     

    It is free we just ask that you all make a small donation, much less than the £1.20 / £1.30 the vans charge. ;)

     

    The BBQ will be at Stoneleigh, Newark and Stafford.

     

    I will supply some food and rolls baps etc.

     

    You are all welcome to use it to cook your own food when the RHOCaR food runs out.

     

    You are all also welcome to cook breakfast on it if you are capable of being in charge of lite flames in the morning. :bad: might be safer letting the children cook breakfast. :rofl:

     

    Due to A/L problems I am not sure if I will be at the shows this year but I am still battling with my bosses. :rolleyes: :diablo:

     

    Here's to a good show year, like I always say I have booked the grass for us to play on can some one book the weather.
