What other toys do you have?
I'm curious what other toys the CLS owners out there have proudly amassed. Please post pictures of any vehicles/noteworthy toys you enjoy on a regular basis. I'll start.

"what do you do?" is the polite way to ask 'how much money do you make/have?'

Lew L - BEAUTIFUL collection. My big issue is I'm well out of garage space. Still seriously considering building an additional garage as there are plenty more toys I see on ebay I can't help but bid on. Looking for a well built tubbed out and blown 40s ratrod.

And definitely compliments on the 427 in your kirkham. I've got a ford 460 bored/stroked to 545 in the cobra. I think I know that same feeling you get everytime you go for a spin. It's sheer terror.

Thanks. The Kirkham is a lot of fun. It has a 484 ci Shelby aluminum big block, somewhere around 630 hp/tq. Not bad for a 2200 lb car. You should contact Kirkham about the Ford roadster they did with Ford GT mechanicals or the ******. Cool stuff, but I am not sure if they are on their website.
As far as storage goes, you tend to fill up whatever you have. Fortunately (or maybe, unfortunately), I started with a big empty barn.

484 Alum? Wow. Very impressed. I thought I was the only one with a traction issue but it seems you're more than familiar with that. There are worse problems to have. 
Out in sunny Phoenix, AZ there aren't many barns. Unfortunately, if I build an addition onto my garage I'm not only turning the house into more of a 'specialty property' (read: harder to sell/worth less) but it would effectively destroy the look and symetry of home. Kind of stuck w/ what I've got for now. Again, for now.
I will check out their site. I've always loved the Kirkhams.

Ken,
Really?! Geez. Feeling like more and more of a slacker each day. I'm only 29 but give me another 10 years and I'll be there eventually.

The total lift with the 40" tires is around 14" extra. It's roughly 34" off the ground.
