	It all started out with a phone call a buddy (ProII) got. Ford was sponsoring a 45th anniversary "Mustang Stampede" car show at the 2009 EAA in Oshkosh, WI. They wanted him to bring a couple of his Mustangs. The invitation was then extended to me to go. Saturday was the big day. Grown men turned into little kids giddy with excitement when Carroll arrived, it was great!! To meet him and shake his hand is such an honor, nothing less. Here's the pics, as I know it's not a story without them: "The Legend" and me Kevin(ProII) and Carroll Signing a buddy's car (I'm sitting next to him) Another signature And another The ink is still drying, 2007 Shelby Mustang The picture he signed for me With his age (86) and his health not being the greatest, it's nice to see him out meeting the fans that respect him sooooo much!!

	Awesome! A friend of ours got to go on a SHELBY cruise with him awhile back. He has a shelby KR500 and brought his glovebox door with for him to sign,many other people on the cruise were mad they did not think to bring their glovebox doors with to have signed to.

To meet him and shake his hand is such an honor, nothing less. Kevin(ProII) and Carroll And you will never wash your hand again. It was one of the best honors to be chosen one of the top 75 Mustangs in the Midwest Then to have the chance to meet Carroll and have him sighn my car was a the biggest honor.
