Smile Kirkham Newsletter

Fellow Car Nuts,

Thank you all for the kind responses and e-mails with regard to our first newsletter. We will answer all of your questions in the upcoming issues. We will try to publish once a month around the 15th of the month. We are sorry the first one was a little..well, quite a bit, late. (Purchasing and learning new software, etc. Much like building a car...much more excitement than you ever thought possible!)

Now, as for the real purpose of my post.

We received OVER 100 failure notices on e-mail addresses! If you did not receive the newsletter, please send

rich@kirkhammotorsports.com

a note and he will correct your address. Who knows, we may have typed it in wrong or any number of electronic gremlins may have intercepted your message and eaten it for lunch.

Of course, if you did get the letter and you don't want it, let us know and we will immediately remove you from our list...I hate spammers.

Along the same lines, we DO NOT SELL, GIVE AWAY, LEND, BORROW, SNEAK, OR DO ANYTHING ELSE WITH YOUR ADDRESS. We use it here at Kirkham Motorsports and here alone. We do not give anyone's address out to anyone for ANY reason.

Have a great day and Happy Motoring! See you all at the Fling.

David

How many newsletters do we have to collect before we can redeem them for a new Kirkham Cobra? Please put me on the list, so I can start collecting them now!

David, story idea for the next issue from a poor southern boy who can't pay his way out there. Would love some photos of the people at your shop, and of the shop and process once the cars arrive stateside.

Bud

LOL
Thats too funny
I have wondered about that myself
I have 6 slotted flathead and 6 philips flathead screws in #8-24 that fit my big LeMans gascap nicely. I am going to use the philips as I like the fact that the driver is less likely to slip and that all screws on my dash and windhshield with all of its hardware are phillips as well.
The slotted don't look right.

What is right? Not that it will change what I use ...

Default Kirkham Owners Unite!

Please indicate your opposition to the Kirkhams fixing Turk's POS CSX. It's just not right.

At the very least, they should cover up the CSX plate with a more appropriate Kirkham plate.

I think MY engine builder helped you build YOUR engine.

You should try to get along with people and learn to enjoy the greter good of the Cobra Brotherhood. You snobs!!

You too Pat!.

I want my meat back!!

Thank you David. I will call tomorrow. Don't pay too much attention to the protests from these renegade Kirkham owners.

TURK
