Which would you rather have???

VOTE 1. Kirkham..


Hell, I will join in...

I think I would stick with my decision to buy a Kirkham.

Maybe a little biased as I already have a Kirkham, but money did not really come into my decision making.

I saw the Kirkham at SAAC a few years back - and sat in one playing with steering, seat adjustments etc - thanks Jamo..

I was talking about buying a low # Shelby COBRA CSX and had the option of an early low # Cobra CSX car at near $1,000,000 or a Shelby continuation at just over $100,000. Neither were seen as an investment, but rather something to own and use.

Completely side tracked in my decision now, I ordered a Kirkham when I arrived home.

Those around me at the time suggested I would probably drive my Kirkham more than a low number CSX original car etc.

Knowing I was side tracked and looking at Hertz cars, GT350 Mustangs and CSX Cobras it was suggested just buy something.. "you will drive and use"

With a GT40, a Mustang convertible etc. in my garage, I did not feel bad about leaving the old CSX Cobra there or the continuation CSX there also, for someone else to buy.

Mmmm and actually, just maybe, I let the new purchaser watch either of them depreciate in value since. No doubt it will increase in the future...

Anyway, my point is, I am glad I purchased the Kirkham saving $900,000 as my wife has a "tit for tat" mentality and would go out and buy something of $1,000,000 value for herself..... It's only fair she would say...

So thank you Kirkhams for my Cobra and for the $900,000 I saved and the additional $1,000,000 I saved if Anne went for a similiar spend. Oooops.. ..that is a $1,900,000 nett saving.



Yes smart decision for me..Vote 1 Kirkham for me.

Now that's smart purchasing, better than my business decisions of late ..

Think I have convinced myself of this anyway..

My point is, I purchased what I wanted and dollars didn't really come into the decision. It was not a savings decision - although my wife would have had some fun spending up..

Next time just buy one of each and then think hard about what duplicates you want just like me.

As nice as a Kirkham is, I'll keep my Cobra as built and use the extra $$$ for more fun toys, like a Jag FHC XKE & Pantera. I would buy both!
