The reason that I've been, relatively, quiet on the forum lately is that I've been travelling and have had to use my phone for the internet.
Anyway, I discovered a guy who runs a company called "Ontario Kit Car Consultants" based in Severn Bridge, which is a couple of hours drive north of Toronto.
So, I gave him a call and went off to meet him. A very friendly chap who was full of advice for any potential kit car builders in Ontario. For those who don't know - it appears that you can't import a kitcar into Canada, nor can you have a turnkey car made in Canada. If you want a kit car then you have to build it yourself! However, you can have help and this is where Ed comes in....
In the workshop were a couple of GTM's and a beach buggy - I got to sit in (just) and fire up the red one.
If you'd like a DNA (and you either want just that little bit of backup, or can barely wield a spanner or fall somewhere in between) I'd suggest you contact Ed and seek his advice. If you go ahead you'll have to buy the kit from DNA and sort out the cost of Ed's help.
(I should point out that this is not a personal reccomendation because I have not done business with him, though it's difficult to imagine a more friendly, helpful guy!)
Here's the contact details:
