South African Kit any good?- XO Sports Cars

Just doing some "research" down here. I'd quite like to build an exo/Atom type car next.

Does anyone know anything about this kit / manufacturer? Any comments???

Unfortunatley he always seems to get a slating on here for some unknown reason. Think his name is gakes or somet.

Yep, username is "Gakes" and he posts mostly in the Mid Engine section, there are a few threads to read through.

I don't think the reason is unknown exactly. His pictures showed up some pretty poor design features and he wasn't exactly grateful when these (safety related) things were pointed out to him.

What about Boksburg kitcar center.....think the lads name was rudy wonder if thats still on the go.
The other good manufacturer is birkin down in westmead pinetown

Hmmmm, I'll look through the posts by Gakes. And I have discovered the Boksburg Kit Car Centre has shut down, so am still looking for leads down here. The birkin looks good but is quite expensive.
Thanks for replies.
