Default Wow!

You know David, we could save a lot of cost just by bringing it straight to my house since I am going to win it any ways! The trick is, we still have to raise a bunch of money for CF.

Seriously, I can't wait to see the car. I hope we sell a BUNCH of tickets for it. I hope I win it! I am working on the add to sell my Unique! Looking forward to meeting you.

It is a good thing that you do!

Best Regards, your future customer

David,

Why don't you guys save time and energy and ship it directly to my garage instead of taking the long path to Columbus then to my garage.....

Saves me the hassle of having two cars to bring back to California from DVSFIII !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about a picture?

What's she rolling on? I assume you had tires since you never told me what sizes to order--send me the bill.

Hey David, I'm going to Chicago next week with my trailer, why don't I just make a big swing and pick it up on the way home. One way or another it has to get here anyway.

Now, the thread that was started by Tessa! She should make some notes about the Kirkhams. Talk about honesty and integrity. Here is chapter 1 on how to run a business and make friends while doing it! You guys should be proud of what you're doing , you are the best!

Keith,

Thanks for the kind words. I hope this one goes east so we can get some more customers out your way.

Rick,

I would never make it to your house—I’d by carjacked by someone long before I ever made it there—probably Tony, Turk, or Jamo.

Tony,

I think the only way you are going to get this one is to car jack it from me. I am sure there will be a price put on your head if you win TWO IN A ROW!!!

Jamo,

Sorry about the tires. I was too tired to call you with the sizes—so I just took them off your car. I’m a bum…what can I say…OOPS! I said the “bum” word around Jamo. Jamo, please don’t take that as a request.

I need my own camera. I am tired of begging it off of my brother. Maybe I’ll go buy one today. Anyone got any suggestions?

John,

See the above post to Jamo…errrr I hope you don’t “see” too much. I’m looking for a camera.

As for raffle tickets, that’s not my department. My department only deals with flat sheets of aluminum and other night-time extra-curricular activities (such as pinching Jamo’s wheels). Might I suggest we all call DV at once—seeing how he hasn’t responded to this thread yet.

Don,

Come on by! I’d love to meet you. That is a long way to go out of your way…hmmmm. I wonder if he has any ulterior motives…just kidding! I’d love to have you come by. We do need to get the car out to Ohio ASAP so DV can start his work.

Thank you for your kind words.

I hope to see you all this year and I know we will all have a great time. Also…we just might have something cool to show this year.

David

David, I would love to come by. If I had the time I would do it in a heartbeat. I could make some calls and see if we can get the shipping donated unless Ed has already done so. Hey Ed, want me to work on this for you?

Default PICK UP

Hey DV,
Since my trailers at your place maybe I'll go get it for you.
There's only one small problem....

I think on the way back it might not make it to OHIO...
Might as well just store it in Chicago.....
yeah that's it.....
I've got just enough room in my garage.....
(Insert Gulloms voice here) Precious myyyyyyyyyy Precious......

I agree with Jim about the NIKON CoolPix...I have one and love it. However, it needs a good OPTICAL zoom...look at Nikon's latest offering, I believe it has one.

PS where are the "tickets"?...it's probably the only way I'm gonna get a Cobra anytime soon

When we debated if the car should be auctioned off, or raffled many decided raffle would be the way to go!
I still remain a sceptic. However majority rules, and raffle it was.

I also believe it was agreed at the time, the tickets should go on sale as soon as possible to give some of us an opprtunity to sell tickets to friends and family.

It is almost March. I think we should get the tickets going soon for maximum effect!

DV, anything we can do to help?

TURK

IMHO--and one you used intaking the pic of me in my car--Sony 707 (now they have an upgraded 717)--5 megapixels, Carl Zeiss lens, Sony battery life--excellent, etc. Tough too--I've traveled all over the place with it--last years Fling, VICE, England, and of course KISS.

Also holds world's speed record for one-handed focused pic--140mph coming through Death Valley.

Using my tires on Jenny's car was ok, so long as they say "JAMO" in big letters...

On a serious note (once the car is well packed and on its way to Australia), can we get some tickets over here as well. I dont mind paying for the shipping of the car!

Andy,

Speaking of moving cars over to Australia...we have been making right hand drive cars now for some time. They have all gone to England.

What do you think about the market Down Under? We have been thinking about expanding the market and would like to have some cars down there as well...Any thoughts?

David

Well obviously i could be your ambassador if you wanted me to drive around in one of your cars for a few months. You could probably twist my arm and make me do that!

Seriously though, we have a couple of high end manufacturers over here, you may have heard of Robnell Sportscars. They make a beautiful car, catering more for the guys that want a finished car, (approx $130,000 AU for a big block which is roughly $65000 US). They are built about 5 minutes from my house in Melbourne.
Superformance are also starting to sell here as well but I dont think that they have sold too many yet.

You would have to make sure that you do your homework as far as design rules and emission controls go coz we are having a little bit of a shake up down here at the moment with engine suitability and pollution controls. Im sure that you would be able to sort that out though.

The other thing to take into consideration is our relatively small population (about 20 million) compared to your own.

But like I said earlier, if you need someone to spread the word and drive or display one of your beautiful cars, I would be more than happy to help out. Send the raffle car over and we will see how it goes!

If you need anymore info just let me know,

Andy.
