The roads are pretty windy at 9000 feet. The 7000 foot sign at the beginning of the video is where we started

I love that road!

I kinda figured it was a bit remote with all the debris in the road. Looks beautiful up there!

Awesome video and amazing car! In the market for a new Cobra. Wish I could afford a polished Kirkham but I am sure that I will be grinning from ear to ear everytime I start up which ever one I decide on either way.

People still call us every few weeks and tell us, "I still have that Autoweek that came out on you a few years ago." That was 1996.

I just posted the article to my facebook page as well. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...9&l=a7163a3d19

Only the best, from the Kirkhams !
If there was only a way to park a Kirkham in my garage.
Any idea's guys ?

I usually do not like music incorporated into video's with sounds of performance engines but, this one is done correct and sounds great !

That was taken when Sandwich had a 302 in his car. He now has a big-block.

It sounds real stout for a 302.
