Carroll Shelby's Birthday Jaunary 11
« on: January 12, 2019, 01:28:47 AM »
Hi all,

Did we miss Carroll's birthday?  It is still January 11 when I made this post.  I did not see any others posts.

Thanks Carroll for all you did.  RIP

 :) God Bless that lousy Texas Chicken Farmer, without him we couldn't have the stories we all love to tell.
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

Took my KR out today for a short jaunt and lit the tires up (several times) in Carroll's honor. 

My neighbors probably aren't as appreciative of the gesture as CS would be.

I have all UNGOLD cars

I am certainly not a Shelby Expert
