Our favorite car on Motorweek

[joelja]

Motorweek on the Speedvision Channel just aired a detailed follow-up review of the TBird.

Fantastic pictures of the Blue car with full interior accents.
A TOTALLY positive review including, for the benefit of you-know-who, a terrific run through the slalom course, acceleration, braking and one positive cudo after another about the styling, the great ride and handling characteristics, and great video of the car from every angle.

It is a real treat for us poor Birdless and VINless beings.

Look for additional airings of Motorweek on Speedvision for the next several days and catch this one in time to video tape it...which I did not.

The final words from the narrator were...."The New Thunderbird....the only way to fly".

joelja, even for those of us that have gotten our Birds it is a good ego boost, although I don't think we really NEED one.Just wait till you get yours. My wife, the major driver of ours, and myself have gotten sooo many coments and thumbs up that we really don't need any more. Once you get yours the stories will begin!! And you WILL be flying just like us the ones that have taken delivery.----------------

joelja, do you have the program number for the Motorweek show featuring the T-bird? The online Motorweek program guide doesn't refer to it in the description for any of this month's shows.

It really Pis--- me off that I can't get speed vision without getting a lot of STUFF that I won't watch on my dish. But that is the way it is and I guess I'm too cheap to pay for all of the other STUFF when all I want is speedvision.

Joelja?? Was that a Motorweek or a Motor Trend show that you watched?

Joel,

I guess PBS airs MotorWeek at different dates in different states??? Sounds like you saw the report that we had here about 2-3 weeks ago. As you said, very positive review!

 

[joelja]

Motorweek, not Motor Trend.

tr cruiser, I think it's #2124, but I am not sure.

Anyhow,the review was great.
And your are right on, GoBird. There is nothing like actually having the "Bird in hand".

It's going to be on again at midnight tonight.
I saw it and it's the same one that was on PBS about a month or 2 ago. Great review, but old news.
