Default The New COBRA Magazine Arrived!

The new COBRA magazine from Great Britian arrived in yesterday's mail! It is huge and full color. A nice job. Certainly if you are a Kirkham fan you will want this issue as they do a 427 Kirkham to Original AC 427 comparison. I had no idea that the Kirkham's body panels are actually fabricated in Poland.

I would highly recomend this magazine if for no other reason than it informs you of what the Cobra scene is over in the UK.

Cheers

No, I have not been "OUT TO LUNCH", but I don't remember seeing the name of this magazine anywhere! What is the magazine and where can I get it?

Well, there you go. I learn something new every day! Having not been too immersed in the Kirkham, I never knew that the body was fabricated over there.

That is a great story in fact, the privitization of a defense industry and its product skills and the transformation to make something a bit more useful. A great masters thesis for the MBA who is a car nut.

Don't know about MBAs writing about it, but the WSJ took an interest about a couple of engineering students from BYU with a strange idea that only a mother would love.
