Default Tribute to Carroll Shelby.

This story in Sports Car Digest is a few years old now but it's worth revisiting the life of this remarkable man.

Remembering Carroll Shelby (1923-2012)

i just took the time to read the article as i had only read snippets off it in the past .
we all owe this man a great deal for the cars we have but the thing that stood out the most was it didnt matter what was thrown at him he always found away to rise above it .
3 divorces one was enough for me his crash his angina and then heart transplant .gmh knocking him back for engines thats ok carrol we have fixed that one for ya by putting ls engines in future replicas lol . his chicken farm going belly up it seems nothing got him down what ever problem arose he found a way around it .
men like this are to be admired on so many levels .
cheers dean
