I felt like I just lost an uncle. He was not only an American icon and racing legend but also a gentleman. :cry:

The thing that is really sad is that people are upset at the death of one man, but no one posted anything about VE day. Something WORLD changing, where one man did something insignificant :cry:


Here is to the MILLIONS that died in World War 2, that died to keep the wolrd a better place

Wow, I live in a cave. That was certainly sad news. I did a quick Google search & saw that they hadn't disclosed the cause of death yet?

Bill Jenkins, Ferdinand Porsche, Carrol Shelby... Bad year to be a racing legend.

RIP Mr Shelby.

right... just forget about the veterans:facepalm:

This thread is about Carroll Shelby, not veterans. If someone wants to give praise to the armed forces, they can start another thread, right? :shrug:

Yeah, it's not like Shelby was a test pilot and flight instructor in WWII, and retired as a Staff Sergeant Pilot. Yup he had nothign to do with any wars, or WWII in particular :rollseye:
