Thumbs up Kirkham Cobra Story
I haven't seen this video posted on here but if it has been then I am not trying to copy the person who posted it first. I just thought that it was interesting and it makes me wish even more that I could afford one of these cars.

I guess that you have to learn to talk like she does. Then go to Kirkham and order it.

That would be great. Think of the sound effect as it bounced off the canyon walls. Also the roads looked to be in pretty good shape and you could really have fun on some of those curves.

We got aluminium in the UK - we can sell you some....

But I didn't realise that these roadsters have been around "since the 'Thirties"! Good grief, all the history books are wrong!! Just how old is Carroll Shelby really??

She obviously has some secrets she'd like to share & I don't need no stinkin' Arulinium. My car is fibroglasium

Maybe she meant roadsters in general. Not just AC roadsters.
