Carroll Shelby
A loss to all petrol heads
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

He'd done really well to make it to 89 he'd had a new heart in 1990 and a new kidney

That was quite a shock to see. He's one of those people I half expected to live forever.
A sad day but also a great time for us to think about his life and work.

I thank him every time I go out in my Cobra (Even tho' it's a replica and he would of hated it). A legend that will leave a gap in the
world. RIP

Let's face it, who can actually ever afford the real AC Cobra, I think its a tribute in itself that so many Kit Car makers decided to copy one
of the most sort after cars.....
I love the Cobra, it has to be the 427 vintage for me with its wide arches, I am not a huge fan of the 289 series.
However we did have one for a weekend for a wedding and it pulled all the right looks.

It's not that i'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.....

I thought he died years ago, but still 89 is a great score

My car of the (Stoneleigh) show was the mauve coloured Cobra rep on the Dax stand. Absolutely stunning design!
It's Evolution Baby!

End of an era. The man was a legend.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
