Dad and I saw it the other day Bernie, so if Craig's sold it from under you the new owner hasn't yet collected it... 
The miles are starting to give it a fabulous patina. Looks fantastic!

I like the Bernie Bubble, much more discreet than Dan's.

Craig,
Thanks - just checking as Craig there is selling everything off the floor.. 
Mmmm just on 13,000 now in just on 7 months.
Would have clocked up a few more but over in France now until late August.
Just keeping an eye on him...

Love it and must Patent it. The Gurney Bubble is for the big guy to fit his head in..
Mine is the Bernie Bubble to fit your fat arse in..
But seriously, it dropped me down about 15 - 20mm and allowed the rubber trampoline seat base to drop into it and keep off the floor - bottoming out.. 
So the seat stays in sprung soft mode.. And allows me more comfort.
Jamo the "Moderator extraordinaire"... called it the Bernie Bubble....

Bonjour Bernie,
I called in to AP last week and can also confirm your car is still there, it was in a few bits but it looked like most of it was still there. 
Who ever that polished Kirkham and big block is for wont want to be shy, that's a lot of motor and bling!

Jamo ??
I thought he'd be more likely to call it the Haemorrhoid Helper.

Guys
Not a lot of performance gear over here. Plenty of electric stuff though.. 
There were two Lamborghini rent a cars but at 89 Euros for 30 minute blocks you would want to do a lot of tyre frying to get your money's worth.
..  ... Then I saw they were Rev and speed restricted. So just a drive to show off if in limp/valet mode.. as if...
Le Man may see things change.. ... For the better...

Hi Tonus
Spent last 10 days at the Absolute Pace facility where the hinges and gas struts are being fitted to the Boot and Bonnet.
When I left on monday afternoon Steve the Composite guy was finishing off the moulds for the doors with the intrusion bars in the doors so that will take a few days to complete.
I still have trouble getting my head around this fiberglass mould thing , It seems you have to be able to work in the negative or something.
I am thinking the end of next week all the body fitment will be finished and I am having a small mod the the cabin of the car but no piccies yet .
Its back to work tomorrow getting deodorant for the taxi drivers and all the things that make the base run well
Cheere
Brad

It doesnt rain much in S.A. in the summer time so the same will apply there maybe Tasmania or N.Z. where there is a bit of cloud cover
But mind you its a beautifull body (We could call it the Elle McPherson body)
Cheers
Brad

Great to hear your body is progressing, looking forward to seeing the pics.
Keep up the great work, and don't forget the deodorant : )

The view from our unit at broardbeach

Looking to the East NZ is just over the horizon to the south
Due North to Brisbane
I know its not Cobra stuff bit that some of you might enjoy the view
I had to leave this lovely view to go back to work and pay my taxes so i can keep people on benefits.
Cheers
Brad

Good stuff Brad - thanks for the update.
Damn work gets in the way of all the good stuff!
I am intrigued about the 'small mod' too...
Tony
Ps - nice pics of the Gold Coast too, it would be nice to escape the cold down here at the moment!! But what is with comparing Tassie to NZ??????

Hi Tony
It was in reference to the polished Kirkham Cobra at Absolute Pace ( Elle McPherson ) body being so shiny and bright in the Queensland sunshine.
You will need a bit of cloud cover so the brightness of the shine wont hurt the eyes in the sunlight.
BMK Bernie Knight made the original reference (Originally Posted by BMK View Post
Yes the polished Kirkham looks great. But in Queensland sun.. ...)
Craig should post a few photos Stainless Steel Chassis and all .
The body mod will be revealed all in good time.
Craig White's idea and i have decided to run with it.
Cheers
Brad...........
