They both work fine here....

It's at the f 'n track that that red hua has a problem lately...,,

and anyway Spook....ya royal prickness...

Lets see how the new racecar goes on the track before we attack poor defenceless mild mannered victims like myself !!

And Andy,

Warwick Harrison hand made it when he had the car...works well too.

Regards,
Warren.

Cool

The name say's 'COBRA HEAVEN' Baz, it's where all the Ford powered Cobra owner's go when they go to the next level after death.
You really don't want to see where the Chev abuser's of Cobra's go, it's not very pretty and there are only P76's and
Edsel's there and definitely no Bikini's.

Harry.

Default boxhead, Im a little behing the times.

Box, how do you do that? I'm a little slow with these things.

I have a couple of pics of his famous Cobra number 97, and of course, a pic of Lynn and I That's it. Don't have any of his garage though, wish I did. Sorry Box.

Steph

I was just recently in the shop in San Juan Capistrano. They had a Kirkham with very low mileage on it. The asking price was $110,000. They had a wide variety of cars on consignment in there, but way over priced. But...you have to stop there on your way through jut for a tour!!!

Mystery Solved!!

Went into Family Classic Cars today to check out the red Cobra, but it was sold two weeks ago. I was told by one of the salespersons it was a "Factory Five Mark III" and it sold for $55,000 (by his memory....he didn't look it up).

My bad, I thought it was a Superformance. Anyway, fairly pricey cars in there and now they have two 1967 White/Blue Shelby Mustangs in there.....and also a nice brushed with polished stripes Kirkham. I didn't write it down but the serial number was in the 200's.

That last pic is of Lynn Parks Shed oops Garage. I spoke with him for a while about his TRIGO wheels. They made aussie regulations and ended up on Robnel cars. I have a set and they are very close to original. By the way the blonde is Tiffinay Richardson & the brunett is Amy Webber if you want to peruse their websites.

Hows this for a great shed

A NY man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it
would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal. The
modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15yrs.; the owner and wife both had
died, and there were no heirs. The house was sold to pay taxes. There
had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and they
had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see
what was in
the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway......so,
nobody made an offer on the place.

The NY guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth, moved
in, and set about to tear in to the barn.......curiosity was killing
him. So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of
grinders.......and cut thru the welds.

What was in the barn...............?

Go to; http://www.intuh.net/barnfinds/afa70.htm
WWW.intuh.net/barnfinds/afa70.htm

and start wishing you had bought the place. When the picture of the
barm comes up you click next or index to see contents of barn. Very
cool!!

This would make any grown person cry, particularly if you were the person that knocked it back because of the big ugly barn.

Enjoy the viewing
