  • 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 organize a wide range of social and sporting events, from local area events to our national End of Year Bash! We have one of, if not the largest club stand at the National Kit Car Show at Stoneleigh each year, and we definitely serve the best burgers! We also have stands at many other shows throughout the year all around the country. It's not just shows though, our active area secretaries and members arrange regular run outs and even longer trips including the ever popular Wales and Scotland trips.

    The Club produces four magazines a year, exclusively for club members. It is packed with news, events, articles, technical features and irreverent cartoons. The Club is an independent organisation, and although we have our roots as the Robin Hood Owners Club and Register, 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 get a discount that is more than the membership fee itself. Membership also gets you full access to the forum, and a wide variety of other discounts, including discounts at Euro Car Parts. You'll also find other members are willing to go well above and beyond for anyone they see is in need of help, as long as they too are a member!

    So whether you own a Robin Hood, a GBS Zero, a Locost, an MK, a Westfield or a Caterham, all can benefit from joining, so what are you waiting for?

    Advert Forums Rules

    Mat-Moo
    By Mat-Moo,

    Please note, that the rules for the adverts sections have been revised, with an additonal new note to try and keep these ON TOPIC! There is too much crap going on now in the adverts section when there shouldn't be.


    Time Wrong On Boards?

    Mat-Moo
    By Mat-Moo,

    Actually no, however becasue of "Daylight Saving Time" you have to click into "My Controls" then select "Board settings" and Tick the box "Is Daylight Saving Time In Effect?", then lastly click "Change my Account Options. At the moment I'm afraid there is no easy way to do this so you will have to do it yourselves for now.

    Keeping It Clean

    Mat-Moo
    By Mat-Moo,

    Now most of us are grown men here (and women!) but we do also have youngsters reading this board, and as a personal request I would rather there was no swear words in posts. Although some are half *** out, we all know what they actually say, so for now I haev turned on a word checker that will change any rude words it finds in posts to *bleep*... although I do hope we don't get any of those either B)


    Top Posters

    By Mat-Moo,

    Congratulations to Big Jim and Rizla for there continued (and continued, and continued, and continued, and continued, and continued) postings on these boards means that they have both now posted over 1000 messages! (I'm way down in fifth position!). As you have probably seen we now have over 20000+ posts and 750 users on this board! I think this new board format has worked well :) Keep posting everyone (Oh and Rizla gets a new custom title!)


    How Do I Upgrade My Account To "rhocar Member"?

    Mat-Moo
    By Mat-Moo,

    1) Make sure you are a current member of RHOCaR

    2) Visit HERE to upgrade your account

    3) If this does not work then please try again in a week or so!

     

    This is a MANUAL process for us as Mick wrote so well :-

    Please dont lose track of the fact that our Club, wonderful as it is, is run by a very small group of unpaid volunteers doing the best they can in what spare time can be put aside in between work, home and family duties.

     

    When you send your form off to Tim it gets processed as soon as possible when spare time allows and the data base updated accordingly. When a suitable sized batch of renewals has been processed, an updated copy of the database is sent to Mat. When Mat manages to find a bit of spare time, he will update his website system to allow you in your spare time to 'upgrade' your membership status by following the link in Mats posting above this one.

     

    We all do the best we can in the time we have available. It is quite possible that the whole process could take 1-2 weeks or even longer on occasions. Membership is now past 830 - imagine sticking a card in an envelope, with a letter and list of members in your area , sticking it down, writing the adress on and stick ing a stamp on - them think of doing it another 839 times ! ! ! That is what is currently going on at Tims house ! ! !

     

    PLEASE DO NOT PM ME ASKING TO UPGRADE YOUR ACCOUNT, I CAN NOT DO THIS UNLESS TIM HAS SENT ME THE LATEST MEMBER DATABASE.


    Next Magazine

    Guest Tim Norman
    By Guest Tim Norman,

    Whilst we all love to see our name on the screen in front of us there are still people who prefer the written word. The next magazine is currently being compiled and we need articles, stories, tales of woe or whatever. Write to Peter Knight or drop him an email or send it to me and I'llpass it on.

    With no stories it could well be the thinnest magazine yet. :(

     

    Cheers
