Hey Nick, plenty of helpful people here and the enthusiasts club is worth joining too - all the makes have their weakness's/strengths, also you don't have to get everything off one manufacturer. Might be worth popping your location (in the uk) on your profile as there are meets in various areas.
Hi Nick,
It’s a difficult one because really in the end it comes down to personnel choice. The Southern GT guys will say buy a Southern GT, the Tornado guys will say buy a Southern GT
I have a Southern GT which like you will be for road use as my driving talent runs out at the end of the motorway and I've seen some of these guys drive. My build is longer than most having bought my engine 7 years ago and chassis around 5. In those years I have spoken and listened to a lot of owners of different makes of cars, and although no expert gained a lot more knowledge than I had.
If I had my time over again I would buy a Southern GT no hesitation not just because of a superb product but because of the old saying "people buy from people" and with true enthusiasts like Mick Adam and the rest of the Southern GT gang I personally felt part of an extended family, not just a business transaction.
My personnel advice would be speak to as many people as possible, sometimes it is easier to express your opinions face to face rather than on a public forum, and don’t underestimate the advantage of Southern GT being relatively near to you they need to move further up North
