Default Test Ride in a Kirkham, not what you'd expect!

Guys!,

I was down at the Kirkham's shop in Provo today. Dave and I were sitting around chatting when Tom and Jeremy cam back in. They had just been out "play" with the Greek car. After a little while David and I went out to play too!

David gave me the ride of my life!

This little vehicle weighs around 2,000 lbs, all wheel drive, independent suspension, powered by a Hayabusa engine. The suspension is so good that you hardly feel the bumps. It can climb a nearly straight wall of loose dirt! Even at the point where you think it will roll, it doesn't. David and I were traveling down the road at 40 or 50 Mph and David YANKED the wheel taking us over the side of the road, nearly a foot drop, the little vehicle just kept going. He drove up and side ways over a LARGE pile of gravel with the same results. In any other vehicle we would have rolled.

What a trip! Get ready for the next innovation from the Kirkhams!

David, you guys are fun to know!

That car is awesome! I had as much fun as I do on the track in a Cobra. You guys should have seen us--we were laughing for at least 1/2 hour. When we came back in we just kept laughing. What an incredible car.
