Z-man Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 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!

Grabber Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 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. Looks like his moderator salary is going to top mine.

Kevin Patten Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Thanks everyone - not quite sure what I've got myself into but, I did tell my wife that I'll be spending more time in the "Girls and Mustangs" section to keep an eye on Cali_KR's postings there ! I'll try to help with what I can so all have an enjoyable experience here on the Team Shelby forum.

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.
