Oy vey, Mr. RodKnock! Now you sound hostile and just resolute on arguing on and on. Chill.
Your hopes have been met! I AM aware of the Kirkham product. Who isn't? They do a wonderful job. Have you seen their latest wonder, the 289 Coupe? Absolutely gorgeous, and ALMOST perfect: it is not blue with white stripes
I was merely giving my opinion that a painted aluminum body is more attractive to me. The airplane look does not do it for me...as apparently did not do it for the Cobra racing community as I don't recall that many CSX cars that were not painted... But a Kirkham is not a Shelby Cobra, and I understand the need to find an identity in this vast world of replicas...
You seem to be a well respected member of this Kirk, uhumm! Cobra Club forum. I am a newbie. I became a contributor to this forum. I really do not appreciate your condescending manners. If your Kirkham car is so wonderful, why don't you dedicate your efforts at exalting its attributes, rather than attempting to diminish the CXS's?
Maybe part of your angst is based on regret. You should sell your silver bullet and get a CSX. I would go for an original 2000 or 3000 series, for you will be obviusly disappointed with a 4000/6000 car
With this comment, I have made this thread more of a distraction and an exchange between you and me. That is not what I want. Therefore, PM with any other complaints, but let's let the OP enjoy and collect more valuable information than our back and forth words.
Cheers!
