What an Honor, Breakfast with Carroll

Recommended Posts

I had the pleasure of having Brunch with Mr. Shelby on December 12th. I won a drawing to sit at this distinguished

table thanks to a random drawing of the Cobra Owners Club of America in Orange County. I never have won anything

maybe because I won this! He is a great guy and likes to talk about all things even besides cars. I was nervous at first

sitting next to a man that has done so much and is so legendary.

 

When I found out I would be with Mr. Shelby a Nerdy Friend at work compared it to Him sitting next to Buzz Aldren. I

explained to him going to the moon pales in comparison to what Carroll has done. The Nerdy guy agreed.....

 

I will never forget that day. Here is the group photo.

Im on the far left wearing the Blue GT40 Team shirt. I think the cap is all about a Tennessee state team of some sort.

I did ask him about the Concept Cobra blew everybody away with at the 2005 Detroit auto show and if it would come

to pass. He did not think so as to get it into production would have been too costly.

 

Too bad it was a true 427 cu in V10 and was a more modern version of the 64 Shelby Cobra.
