Hey Dave, Thanks for the info on your hardtop.
However, you should note that most of comments in this thread are from us Aussies.
Now....me thinks, given you lot (read English gentry ), convicted and sentenced one of my relatives to this penal colony for not paying his taxes to some bent landowner, that you should make amends by sending me one of your hardtops.
I'll then forgive you and promise that I'll have it flopped and on the market in no time at all.
Cheers Dave....great top you have.

Hey Nick, Given your dyslexia is giving you hell this morning I'll assume you mean what do I think of that Kirkham hard top.
I think it is blu$$y awful.  . But only because it's made of that same stuff they use to make those funny engines.
Now, If I had a Kirkham complete with that matching hard top then it would be a whole different story.
Can you imagine the flak you would get from the Dept of Transport if you drove a polished Kirkham. I remember the days we had to blacken out the chrome windshield frames.
I can also remember once following a cobra with a polished stainless fuel tank and the sun reflecting off the tank. Grrrrrrrrrr .

Opinions please.......
Q) If you could only choose one - would you get a soft top or a hard top - and why?

What do you mean - dyslexic.
Eyes are the second thing to go as we get older.
Check the Fuel Caps.
2 different Kirkham hardtops.

Nick

Actually two different body styles and remaining true to each style.
Cheers

Soft Top, because you can't put a hardtop in the boot!
However, I have now done three multi state trips with the hardtop on, and it does make it very comfortable for rain and shine...
- Ipod in
- AC on
Very Nice
if you are going to own a Cobra, then you have already had your sensible nerve removed, so go and get both!

Cameron,
You know your sensible nerve has been removed when you have no top especially here in QLD
Soft top or hard top??? - Hard top as less of those rivety things in your body!
Open top means open to the elements - no protection, no air con no nothing

Getting smashed by Rebel this morning.
I promise I won`t call you Grand Dad anymore.
Just in case you need that knife out of my back
I`ll hand it back to you at the next breakfast.
That`ll teach me for posting at midnight.
Regards
Nick
