    I vaguely remember being impressed by one I saw Mini-G, it was similar but not exactly the same as the classic version of the car, possibly wiht its machine gun canon firing? I remember the first time I saw the movie's version of Thunderbird 2, and had tears in my eyes. - Sheer design vandalism. A butchered mess of an iconic Sci Fi aircraft. Only Thunderbird 4 had a positive makeover to a certain limited degree.

    Any shots of the proposed actual FAB 1? Not that the car needed redesigning in the first place, its a bit like Dr Who's Tardis, or "Rover" from The Prisoner in that respect.


    Convienient Pocket = Now Thats more like it! The DBS is still my outright favorite, but this is pretty fantastic too.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    it was absolutely gorgeous, and ive sadly never seen that design since :(

    Guys,

    I believe BBC's Top gear mentioned this on Sunday. Something about an EU law coming that means that car manufactures have to balance carbon emissions across their entire range!!!! So all high performance marques may end up doing this....
