Must be a few owners around London that you can visit. In some ways this might be better as you will get an idea of what the product is like to build
and own, and get a good idea of build costs. Where abouts are you?

Hi James,
BGH Geartech, who own the (Fisher) Fury are based in Kent and are having an open day on Sunday 23rd August.
They're also agents for the RAW Striker, I think.

I had the same problem when looking for a kit but the trip to Sheffield was well worth it with Mac1. Pretty much all of my problems were easily
solved over the phone - but do watch out when Mark answers the phone as you'll probably end up buying upgrades. ;-)

Hi James
If your off work this friday 24th it might be an idea to pop along to the abingdon track day,plenty from here going so you will get a mixed bag to
look at.
If you can get there take a crash helmet as i am pretty sure you will be able to blag a lift for a few laps 
Other than that keep a lookout in clubs and events for local meets.
