Hywl Auto Club has taken a long time to come to fruition. I've loved cars since I was a small boy making dashboards out of cardboard boxes and tubes so I could "drive" from the back seat of the family car.
This idea has been percolating in my mind for years, and the time is right. Raleigh and the surrounding areas are growing at an amazing rate. Hwyl is a new way to enjoy the performance car lifestyle. A changing garage of cars and a calendar of amazing experiences to go with it.
Where did the name come from? I wanted something that would reflect my Welsh heritage and culture, and somehow capture the essence of a group of people with a stirring passion. Hwyl is a Welsh word with no direct English translation, but if you've been lucky enough to be in a crowd at a sporting event when the fans lift the team and the team is carried by the collective emotion of the crowd, that's Hwyl. Stanley Cup Game 7 for the Hurricanes, or Wales v England in the Rugby World Cup. Hwyl is passion.
I hope Hwyl resonates with you, and you want to be a part of it. We want all our members to feel like they belong to something special, and we'll create amazing experiences every year to make unforgettable memories, and give you the opportunity to drive the world's finest cars.
Welcome to Hwyl
