KIRKHAMS donate a COMPLETED car to DVSFIII
 I think the recent unselfish act of The Kirkhams donating a COMPLETED Kirkham car to DVSFIII is worth of front page news.
The subject is being discussed in few other threads. I felt it deserved a Front Page Exposure. This is the same folks who donated a car to the efforts in NYC last year. The announcement came about very low key and without much fanfare. Had it beenI would have demanded network coverage or ask for the half time spot during the Super Bowl. Instead they chose to announce it in a thread as if they were dropping a few bucks in to the Salvation Army kettle, in front of Macy's.
A big Thank you from all of us attending or not attending the Annual Spring Fling.

Kirkhamszzzz....
Turk,
Obviously the Kirkham brothers class and skill is only trumped by their generosity.
God bless the Kirkhams, even tiny Tim.

When the chips are down!
I've had the distinct pleasure of personally meeting the entire Kirkham family and have experienced several interactions with them over the past 2 years. Their generosity and compassion is only surpassed by their quality craftsmanship.
When the chips are down, these fine people know the true meaning of difficult times, loyal friendships and mans humanity to man. They say what they mean and mean what they say and to provide the sponsorship for the main event at the upcoming DV Spring Fling only confirms their philosophy.
I hope that everyone has the opportunity to meet the entire family at the 3rd DV Spring Fling.

As we like to say...
The Kirkhams ARE the first family of the world of Cobras.

I just posted a thank you to the entire Kirkham family on the main board, then saw this one on the side board. Go figure .

I have only talked to David & Tom once. It was about engines & I only wanted advice. They treated me like I was one of their customers. I feel like it is an honor to have spoken to these guys. I almost want to ask for an autograph. You guys are great! If the rest of the world were Kirkham's, it would be a very happy place.
Thanks to you and all the rest of the people that so generously give!
Who knows, maybe someday I will become a customer! One can only hope!

There is not much else one can say any better than what has been said by all the others in this thread. I know that the Kirkhams are honest, hard working folks. This I know to be true because so many others have told me so.
