No mention of Carroll Shelby passing?


I must admit while cruising another audio site I came across Shelby's passing.

I must be under a rock.

Searched here for what others had to say but found nothing.

I figured with discussion of best cigars, liquors, cars there would be some mention. Certainly an American automotive icon.

His contributions to the automotive world will be missed. Condolences to his family.

Jmcgrogan2 - In that case, can we then please do away with even the occasional nonsense post such as "What does the typical audiophile drive?" or "What what time does the typical audiophile wear?"

Can't argue that motor racing news should be expected here but to Theo's point about Carroll Shelby, I hve to agree. The sound of one of his creations at full throttle is definitely a kind of wild music.

Definitely understand your point. Just felt like mentioning someone that has always interested me. I think Polleys passing deserves mention too. After all without the remote we couldn't have developed those midriff curves!!!! :)

Share your love of the 427 SC! Was there ever a better looking car? However I find a '67 or '68 GT350 just as tantalizing.

Undoubtably music to some folks ears!

As we age and more and more people each of us thought in some was was a significant person, the RIps and eulogies will pile up.
I am not one for commmenting on the dead much.
Nor do i see any need to do so on audio sites for non audio famous folks..
The place would become filled with death notices.
A person dies every half second....
So I say please keep the non audio dead OFF the audio pages.
Even the audio related dead take up to much bandwidth.
And yeah when i croak. forget me. thanks.
Ghosthouse, I'd like to abolish the word 'best' from these forums forever. Every frickin' day someone is asking "what is the best dac?" "What is the best power cord?" "What is the best amp?"

There is NO BEST!!! There, I said it, now I feel better.
