Recommended Posts

As part of our efforts to continually improve the Team Shelby experience, both online AND in person, we have been reviewing everything, from The Bash to Membership Kit fulfillment methods and shipping to the staff that help us run Team Shelby. We believe that knowledgeable Members make the best Moderators, especially when they devote time to share quality information with us all.

 

 

To that end, I am DELIGHTED to announce Albino500 as our newest Moderator, and I have attached some info below that will make it obvious how qualified he is to be giving advice!

 

 

Congratulations, and THANK YOU!

Now I guess I have to be EXTRA nice to him since he has access to "the ban stick" !

 

Actually, Albino500 has helped me more than a few times, and seems to know everything technical about our cars.

 

Congratulations!

On a personal note, I met Albino500 last year at the Pacific NW Meet & Greet. Kevin Came a day early which allowed me to spend some time with him and He took Tana & I out to dinner and insisted on paying. That's the kind of a guy he is. What a all around nice guy and very fun to hang out with. I did not realize he has such a impressive resume. :drop: Looks like his moderator salary is going to top mine. :spend:

Congrats KP, as if you're not busy enough, now you get to read every post....including the scrutinizing of the aforementioned thread...

 

For all you TS folk, I've known Kevin before our community even existed, and he has been wrenching on my cars for years.

 

His knowledge base is amazing, not only on Mustangs, but across a broad spectrum of automobiles.

 

See you at the dyno day next week amigo
