Much appreciated.

I love it when you talk dirty.

Hey Guys, Owning a Kirkham is a wonderful thing. Topping it off is knowing that David has put himself in a controversial environment to bring attention to America’s problems. The Kirkham brand now means more to me then just my polished roadster. David, I appreciate the tireless work you do inside and outside the shop. Peace, Darren

Now owning a Kirkham means you gotta buy into the "Tea Party"? Let's just say this thread belongs someplace else.

I think we're all getting a bit sensitive, here.

To know David Kirkham and/or do business with him, and to recognize his personal plight, will give one insight to the INTEGRITY this man has. That's all. No need to get excited.

I think you are pulling out the "jump to conclusions mat" a little prematurely! I also think you are being a little too sensitive. David did not make a statement that was in direct correlation to the TEA party movement. It's just a link to an article by the New York Times.
Perhaps we should have some sort of Federal legislation that states you cannot post anything even remotely related to politics on car forums. SMILEY FACE!!!

I agree 1,000%. The GT40s Forum is full of politics. I would take it over there.

Default Keep the political discussion

WTH, more Federal legislation, that's what we need.
Are you going to wait until they write a Federal legislation that limits our ability to drive the cars we discuss on this forum to get involved. That's what they're trying to do. Cap and trade is just the start. Throw in Global Warming and the moratorium on offshore drilling. Then all the fence sitters will be loud and political.

David, you're a great spokesman for our group, my hat's off to you brother, keep it up.

I should have noticed the smiley and didn't knew that CC was a politics free zone. Learn something new every day.

I absolutely support David in this project and a tip of the hat for getting involved. That was an interesting article. No question, Cobras DO bring people together, our views may remain different, by it's OK.

Ernie,

YES! That is what it is all about. Let's look for common ground first. Then, discussing our differences will be much easier.

I got involved in politics, once... In Hawaii when there was no legal, NONE, zip, nada, way to register our Cobras on Oahu. It took a bunch of us and a dedicated effort, some time, but we got-r-done.

...and then I hung my hat up, that was enough politicing for me.

Brent,

I could never forget you guys. You are the best bunch of guys on the planet. My world has expanded to include a few more friends. It's a great thing. You can never have too many friends.

David,
Now for something totally different.
So your guest was very impressed with the performance of the car. Would you care to let us know the specifications of the car he rode in? Was it original suspension, billet, frame, engine, etc.
Regards,
Richard
