Hey folks, Harry here with some fun little rumors about THUNDERBIRDS... yeah, based on that super-marionation show! I generally hate "concept cars" from real car companies. They always seem to still be thinking in terms of real cars... I want cars being designed by wackos that loved Big Daddy Roth, watched James Bond films, built kit cars and that actually own a car that makes you... "Coooooool" That being said, I bet this looks cool! Here's Simon...

Hey Harry,  

I was sat on a train from London to Birmingham today opposite from a couple of suits from one of the London studios, and couldn't help but overhear some of their conversation.  

They were discussing the new Thunderbirds movie ("directed by the guy who was number 2 in Star Trek") and about the locations that were being booked and scouted at the moment.  

Apparently, there will be car chases and a helicopter chase filmed by the South Bank of London, possibly involving Grand Prix cars (for which they are attempting to get professional drivers to do cameos). This is to be done to scale as a sort of go-cart race - I don't know whether this is to be a nod to the origins of the series or not.  

Also, Lady Penelope's pink car is being redesigned for the film by Ford as a concept car.  

Hope you can use some of that.  

Ta ta.  

Simon
